The growing installed base of GPS-enabled smartphones have opened up the market for location-based mobile apps, which are used in a number of people monitoring segments.

Consumer-oriented people locator solutions range from family locator services that provide peace of mind for parents of children and teenagers, to solutions that assist caregivers of seniors and people suffering from various medical conditions. The market for handset-based family locator services is dominated by freemium apps. Location sharing functionality is also offered by numerous widely-used apps such as Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and Apple's Find My Friends. A number of companies market GPS-enabled devices for children that are too young to use mobile phones.

The market is still in its infancy, but is expected to grow in the coming years, especially in North America. Vendors including Bestie, Xplora and LG Electronics have designed locator devices for kids in the form of wristwatches. Many companies are also offering general GPS tracking devices that can be used for several different application areas. BrickHouse Security, WTS Positioning Solutions and Yepzon have launched locators that can be used to track luggage, pets, kids and more.

People locator solutions addressing the needs of businesses are available from companies in industries such as fleet and asset tracking, as well as IT and specialist vendors. Mobile workforce management applications enable workers to report time, collect data in the field, access back-office information and communicate with managers.

The research estimates that the market for mobile workforce management software in Europe and North America amounted to 1.1 billion (US$ 1.2 billion) in 2018. The market for lone worker devices and services is growing as more employers become aware of the solutions available to protect their workforce. New and stricter regulations that specifically address the safety of lone workers also foster market growth. There were an estimated 725,000 and 300,000 monitored lone workers in Europe and North America respectively at the end of 2018.

Electronic monitoring (EM) of offenders is still relatively rare in the European and North American corrections systems. Monitoring systems based on radio frequency (RF) or GPS/cellular technology are used to provide alternative ways of sentencing offenders at various stages of the criminal justice system, including at pre-trial, at sentencing and following a period of incarceration. The average daily caseload of monitored individuals in Europe and North America amounted to about 37,000 and 210,000 respectively during 018. In North America, 75 percent of the systems used are based on GPS/cellular technology.
