The practice of gathering geographical data using portable electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, or specialist mobile mapping systems, is known as mobile mapping. While travelling across a region of interest, it entails collecting several sorts of data, such as GPS coordinates, images, 3D point clouds, and other sensor data. Gathering geospatial data from a mobile platform that is frequently outfitted with a variety of GNSS, camera, radar, laser, LiDAR, or other remote sensing equipment is required for the process of mobile mapping. The primary outputs of such systems include georeferenced images and videos, digital maps, and GIS data.
Global Mobile Mapping Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The Mobile Mapping market is being driven by several key factors. One of the main drivers is the growing use of smartphones and other linked devices that has given mobile mapping applications a foundation on which to grow. Mobile mapping is now more widely available to a wider user base because to cheaper smartphones that also have better internet connectivity and GPS capabilities. Modern sensor technologies, such as GPS, LiDAR, cameras, and inertial sensors, are used by mobile mapping systems. These sensors have improved in size, cost, and functionality, making it possible to record high-quality geospatial data with better accuracy and precision. The potential uses for mobile mapping applications across numerous industries have increased as a result.
There are a number of obstacles that the global mobile mapping market must overcome before it can expand and become widely used. Cost and accessibility are a couple of the major obstacles. The acquisition of hardware and software, data processing, and maintenance are only a few of the costly expenses associated with implementing mobile mapping technologies. Particularly for small and medium-sized businesses or organizations with tight resources, the initial investment and recurring costs can be a hurdle.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Mobile Mapping Market
As a result of the pandemic, the mobile mapping industry has profited. Mobile mapping has gained popularity as a method of monitoring the whereabouts and movements of sick people during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Governments are heavily utilizing mobile mapping apps to map demographic data and link it to the spread of disease in a certain area. The pandemic has additionally had a negative impact on hardware manufacturers because to supply chain disruptions and government restrictions.
