Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from unit volumes: counts of geospatial-analytics software seats and subscriptions sold by component (solution licenses versus service engagements), satellite and aerial imagery data-license volumes, and government and enterprise project counts across the application axis, each multiplied by realized per-seat, per-license, or per-project pricing observed in public contract disclosures and vendor price lists. That bottom-up build is then checked against disclosed segment revenue from Esri, Hexagon, Trimble, TomTom, Oracle, and SAP, where a geospatial or location-intelligence line is broken out. Where the two diverge, the correction is made to the underlying unit-volume or price assumption driving the bottom-up figure, not by averaging the two figures together.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target commercial and technical roles that decide geospatial-analytics purchases: GIS directors and procurement leads inside government mapping and cadastral agencies, infrastructure and utility asset managers, supply-chain and fleet-operations leaders evaluating location-intelligence platforms, and channel partners reselling GIS and imagery services into regional markets. Regulatory and standards contacts at national mapping agencies are included where geospatial data licensing or open-data policy affects adoption. Sampling weights North America and Europe, where enterprise GIS budgets are most disclosed and mature, alongside Asia Pacific contacts covering China, India, and Japan given their contribution to forecast growth, with lighter coverage across Latin America and the Middle East and Africa reflecting their smaller current base.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national mapping and cadastral agency open-data registers, satellite-imagery licensing terms published by national space agencies and commercial operators, customs and trade classifications covering GIS hardware and software imports, public-sector procurement and contract-award databases for government mapping and infrastructure projects, and disclosed segment or product-line revenue in the filings of Hexagon AB, Trimble Inc., TomTom International, and SAP SE. Industry association benchmarks from geospatial and surveying trade bodies supplement these where individual company disclosure is incomplete.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from three assumption sets: the pace at which government and utility agencies migrate legacy desktop GIS workloads to cloud-native analytics platforms, the rate at which satellite and IoT sensor data volumes feeding these platforms continue to compound, and the adoption curve of location intelligence in commercial verticals such as insurance underwriting and logistics that have historically lagged government use. Pricing is assumed to continue shifting toward subscription and consumption-based models rather than perpetual licenses. For the forecast to hold, cloud migration in the public sector must continue at its current multi-year pace without a funding-driven slowdown, and satellite data costs must keep declining rather than plateauing.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs were checked by back-testing the 2020-2024 historical build against recorded revenue growth at Trimble, Hexagon, and TomTom over the same period, confirming the modeled component and application splits moved in the same direction as each company's own segment disclosures. Analysts reviewed the assumed shift in shares toward cloud deployment and toward risk and disaster-management applications against publicly announced government cloud-migration programs and disaster-resilience funding initiatives. Sensitivities were tested on the cloud-adoption pace and on satellite-data cost assumptions, since both carry the largest effect on the outer forecast years, and the regional split was cross-checked against national ICT and GIS-spending disclosures where published.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for the component and deployment-mode splits, which are anchored to disclosed segment revenue at Esri, Hexagon, Trimble, and TomTom. It is thinner for the application and end-user splits in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where fewer vendors break out regional or vertical revenue and the estimate relies more on adjacent ICT-spending proxies. The BFSI and agriculture verticals carry the widest uncertainty band, since location-intelligence adoption there is newer and less consistently reported. A materially faster or slower pace of public-sector cloud migration than assumed is the structural risk most likely to force a revision.
