> High-Precision GNSS Market Set to Increase Almost 100% by 2016, Study Predicts
> Inside GNSS
> 30 September 2011
> Following a difficult 2009, the precision GNSS market is moving into a new
period of
> sustained growth, resulting in a near doubling of shipments and revenues by
2016, according
> to recently completed study by ABI Research.
> Precision GNSS manufacturers have traditionally built their reputation in
surveying.
> However, markets such as agriculture, construction, aviation, GIS mapping, and
military are
> all forecast to grow strongly, according to the Oyster Bay, New York-based
company's report
> "High Precision GNSS Markets and Systems." The market is also expanding
rapidly into new
> regions. China was regarded as the second-largest market for GNSS receivers in
2010, a
> market that essentially didn't exist 10 years ago.
> Senior analyst, telematics and navigation, Patrick Connolly says, "A
combination of small,
> low-cost receivers are enabling new devices, services and markets to open up,
such as
> laptops, handhelds, communications devices, etc. Flexible receiver design is
also vital,
> as new GNSS constellations and increasing availability of augmentation
technologies proliferate."
> Connolly noted in particular growth based on advances in real-time kinematic
(RTK) techniques,
> continuously operating reference stations (CORS), and non-GPS terrestrial
services including
> LocataTech, as well as continuing development of the systems themselves: GPS,
GLONASS,
> Compass, and Galileo. "GNSS receiver manufacturers are increasingly moving to
firmware
> upgrades to support these technologies in a cost effective way for users,"
Connolly said.
> With the cost of hardware OEM equipment set to fall sharply, companies hope to
generate
> increasing revenues from software, firmware upgrades, applications,
connectivity, distributor
> support, and related developments. Connectivity and real-time data enable the
industry to
> monitor and analyze information, streamlining processes and bring new levels
of performance,
> the ABI report indicates.
> Dominique Bonte, ABI's group director of telematics and navigation, adds a
word of caution,
> "This new growth will also bring a threat from new entrants from emerging
regions such as
> CHC in China, as well consumer GNSS IC companies supporting open L2C and L5
signals."
> ABI Research's report "High Precision GNSS Markets and Systems," examines
where, when, and
> how the high-precision GNSS market will change over the next five years and
how receiver
> design will evolve to keep up with these changes.
