Increase in the adoption of autonomous vehicles for several applications
An autonomous vehicle, referred as driverless vehicle, is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operates without human intervention. Autonomous vehicle rely on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to understand their surrounding environment. The advent of autonomous vehicle is one of the three revolutions that is bringing changes across the globe. The other two revolutions are transition from internal combustion engine to electric and integration of cars into digital traffic networks.
In recent years, adoption of autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles have increased across the globe. The autonomous vehicles require integration of navigation satellite system receivers to determine real-time positioning information, which further is utilized in several applications such as surveying, military missions, mapping, and autonomous delivery.
Moreover, autonomous vehicle with the aid of GNSS receivers can perform effectively even in a low navigation satellite signal reception area. Therefore, demand for GNSS integrated autonomous vehicles is increased. Thus, increase in the adoption of autonomous vehicles for several applications is one of the factors that drive the growth of the navigation satellite system industry during the forecast period.
Growth in dependence on location-based services
Location-based services (LBSs) are a set of services that use real time geo-data through internet capable devices to provide information about current location. LBSs are greatly dependent on geographical mapping, which is carried out with the help of satellite imagery received through navigation satellites.
LBSs help during flood, rescue events, natural calamities, and for weather forecasting to develop future programs to simplify the situational events. Therefore, most of the countries mandate the use of LBSs as they help in decision making for civil defense operations.
In addition, people are using LBSs through various internet capable devices such as smartphones, tracking devices, digital cameras, tablets, and fitness devices. Increase in adoption of smartphones across the globe accelerates the utilization of location-based services; thereby, boosting the navigation satellite system industry growth. Moreover, various mobile applications such as business and communication apps, gaming apps, health & wellness apps, and personal convenience apps majorly use real-time positioning information. Thus, upsurge in trend of navigation and location-based services across various sectors are expected to drive the growth of the navigation satellite systems market.
