The increasing utilisation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in applications such as 3D mapping, environmental monitoring, machinery guidance, accident reconstruction, and disaster response has generated substantial demand for solutions in mobile mapping. Precise and real-time spatial data provided by mobile mapping systems can support a variety of industries and use cases that are reliant on accurate geospatial intelligence.
The market for mobile mapping is also being driven by innovations in automated and rapid data collection leveraging new 5G network technologies. While promising new capabilities for mobile mapping, concerns around privacy, data security and the financial investment required for implementation have also presented challenges to market expansion.
The growing number of smartphone users has led to increasing demand for location-based services and applications. Mobile mapping applications provide real-time navigation capabilities, precise positioning functionality and geospatial data to enhance the user experience. Smartphones are well-suited for accessing mobile mapping services due to their convenience and portability, serving to accelerate the mobile mapping market expansion.
Looking ahead, integrating mobile mapping capabilities into emerging wearable devices and advancing analytic tools for captured geospatial data are two areas supporting the market growth and opportunity.

Increasing launches of innovative mobile mapping solutions by key players are favouring the market. In February 2024, Trimble Inc (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced the Trimble® MX90 mobile mapping system. Equipped with Trimble's state-of-the-art GNSS and inertial technologies, the Trimble MX90 provides a complete mobile mapping solution when combined with Trimble's field and office software. This enables powerful workflows for data capture, processing, and analysis. The system utilises immersive 360-degree panoramic and targeted cameras to capture high-resolution imagery. This includes details such as small or distant road and rail signs, telecommunications towers, or cracks and holes in roads.
