The global positioning systems (GPS) market size is anticipated to reach USD 146.4 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period. Burgeoning popularity of location-based services such as online food delivery and e-hailing services are projected to create significant demand for GPS-enabled devices over the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing use of GPS devices for navigation purposes in military aircraft and navy ships is poised to propel the market.
Global positioning systems are satellite-based navigation systems that provide real-time location of objects.

GPS transmitters use data to provide exact location of the object. Moreover, a GPS can work in any weather condition that makes it more versatile and reliable.
Among all application segments, the location-based services and road segments are expected to be significant revenue contributors in the global market during the forecast period owing to increasing deployment of GPS technology in smartphones, tablets, networking devices, IoT devices, and connected vehicles. Rising adoption of smartphones and growing consumer inclination towards digital services such as online retailing, cab services, and food at door steps are likely to spur the growth of the market during the forecast period.
