Market Overview:
The global location-based services (LBS) market size reached US$ 33.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 99.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9% during 2023-2028.
Location-based service (LBS) relies on geospatial technologies, information and communication technologies, and the internet to provide targeted information to individuals based on their geographic location in real-time. It can be used through mobile phone networks, cell identity (ID), and global positioning system (GPS) satellites to pinpoint the location of the base transceiver station. As LBS offers several advantages, such as accurate weather updates and forecasts, real-time delivery tracking of products, and monitoring workout activities of the user to calculate the required information, it finds extensive applications in retail, healthcare, information and technology (IT), telecommunication, and transportation sectors.
Location-Based Services (LBS) Market Trends:
The growing utilization of LBS to locate friends, nearest restaurants, or advertising deals to shoppers in the nearby area currently represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the demand for LBS among businesses to offer a dynamic user experience and a convenient method for interacting with customers. This, along with the technological advancements, such as global cell identity (CGICTA), enhanced observed time difference (E-OTD), and a combination of mobile positioning and satellite-based global positioning system (GPS), is positively influencing the market. In addition, governments of several countries are promoting the use of LBS to achieve smooth transportation goals as a part of their smart city projects, which is propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce 3D map applications with smartphones. This, coupled with the escalating demand for LBS in the e-commerce industry, is expected to strengthen the growth of the market in the coming years.
