Location-based Services (LBS) Industry Projected to Exceed $126 Bn by 2025 - FMCG & E-Commerce Sector Expected to Witness Significant Growth
DUBLIN, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Location-based Services Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
 The global location-based services market (hereafter referred to as LBS) was valued at USD 36.2 billion in 2019, and it is expected to reach USD 126.4 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 23.2%, during the period of 2020-2025.
The proliferation of smartphone usage is driving the location-based services market. According to a report by the United Nations, nearly 41.5% of the total world population, as of 2019, were smartphone users.
With advancements in technology, many industries are willing to adopt new systems, primarily to improve their transportation efficiency. With the advent of cloud and IoT systems, the enterprises now can automate most of their operations. The healthcare sector is also expected to witness a more significant number of applications. The growing IoT applications, devised with healthcare requirements, are expected to contribute to the growth of the market study for the healthcare vertical. For instance, Texas Health saved USD 412,000 using the real-time location-based system. Medical equipment is now easily located and maintained.
Generation and storage of data have created further opportunities for the end-users, who can use the data for multiple purposes that include understanding fuel consumption patterns, the efficiency of drivers, position of products, and goods within a supply chain, in warehouse and estimation of best places for the product positioning. This opens opportunities that are limited to the visions of the user's application needs.
Furthermore, with the significant ongoing investments for integration of 3D maps applications with smartphones, market players, such as Nokia, Samsung, and other OEMs, are entering this market. Online web services providers, such as Amazon Inc. and Microsoft Corp., among others, have also started offering 3D maps on their platforms. For instance, Parrot, a prominent player providing wireless devices for mobile phones, has positioned its consumer drones, for 3D modeling, mapping, and agricultural uses. These instances are expected to drive market demand across emerging economies during the forecast period.
In October 2018, GSMA Global data said that there were more than 9.166 billion mobile connections, including M2M connections and 5.169 billion unique mobile subscribers. With the increased penetration of mobile connectivity, technological advancement in network connectivity and economies of scale have impacted the market positively.
Furthermore, many retail companies are already implementing geofencing in their marketing strategy. For instance, Walgreens is usng geofencing to promote customer loyalty by pushing a notification that allows the user to open their app every time they enter the geofenced area. The user can further view promotional offers by looking at their account details. The implementation of geo-marketing in retail is, thus, boosting the market for location-based services.
The location-based services currently face tremendous risks from government policies and regulations on consumer privacy. Most of the software application developers are becoming aware of the increasing international privacy laws, as well as industry codes of self-regulation, that govern its usage.Google is planning to implement a new policy change that will require all of the app developers to undergo an approval process before their apps collect the user's location information while running in the background. This policy is applied for all new apps from August 2020.
