The market is driven by the widespread adoption of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies. With the integration of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and virtual assistants like Cortana, Siri, Amazon Echo, and Google Now, users access maps conveniently. These maps offer a high Return on Investment (RoI) by enabling real-time mapping and accessing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Serving various sectors like automobile, telecommunication, and logistics, advanced GIS technologies facilitate map analytics and real-time tracking. As geographic information becomes increasingly digitalized, they play a vital role in analyzing spatial data for terrain, roads, buildings, and rivers.
The adoption of intelligent PDAs is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. A PDA is a software agent that can perform tasks or services for anyone. These tasks or services are based on user input, location awareness, and the ability to access information from various online sources, such as News, weather and traffic conditions, user timetables, and retail prices. These devices are sometimes called virtual assistants that consumers access for their personal use. These devices assist users while driving and enable users with disabilities to access the latest technology through voice services.
In addition, these PDAs are used to set alarms, call users, open applications, download applications, and search for places. PDAs also manage busy schedules and meetings; these devices attain the details of schedules and locations using a digital map to inform the user where and when to go. PDAs are a very cost-effective way to get personal assistance without hiring personnel. The adoption of portable and smart devices such as smartphones and tablets in which PDAs are installed is providing an opportunity for the personal assistant market to grow. Thus, the growth of the PDA market increases the use of digital maps, which will boost the market for digital map services and licensing.
The availability of location-based services will fuel the market growth. The global market growth and trends for LBS is actively growing based on digital maps. LBS are designed to supply users of GPS information and Internet-enabled mobile devices with timely and location-specific information.
GPS allows digital maps to provide access to product or service information, price comparisons, product alternatives, reviews, and direct purchase options. LBS allows businesses to offer products and services when consumers are most inclined to buy certain items. Thus, LBS are integrated into the applications mentioned above to use digital map services, which will boost the market during the forecast period.
The inaccurate results and high battery drainage in smart devices are major technological challenges for global market growth. Digital maps have enabled numerous LBS applications such as maps and navigation, social networking, AR, tracking, and geotagging. These applications require a considerable amount of battery power to run efficiently. Specific applications such as location-based games, maps, GPS, and social networking applications drain the batteries quickly. The dipping battery life of the devices causes inconvenience to users, leading to dissatisfaction and a reluctance to adopt these applications.
Moreover, these LBS-based applications deliver unreliable information to the user due to high data traffic and poor network availability. Inaccurate information leads to errors in producing digital information from the maps, which limits the user while using LBS-based applications. These issues, along with the lack of awareness about the benefits of LBS, are harming the adoption of LBS technologies in digital maps. Hence, such factors are hindering the market during the forecast period.
