Abstract
Location-based services (LBS), an emerging application in China, has
established its business model, formed a complete value chain, and become more
mature in the past two years. In particular, online LBS and automotive LBS
have gained traction in the consumer market in China and will take off soon.
This report covers the online LBS, mobile LBS, and automotive LBS markets in
China. As electronic maps are the basis of these three categories, the report
first looks at China' s mapping and surveying industry, including digital map
vendors and their offerings. It then provides in-depth analysis of the online
LBS, mobile LBS, and automotive LBS markets in China, including the value
chain, available services, and market drivers and barriers.
The report also includes five-year forecasts (2005-2010) for online LBS market
revenue, mobile LBS market revenue, and automotive LBS terminal shipments and
revenue.
