Mobile Mapping Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global mobile mapping market size attained a value of USD 35.88 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.70% between 2025 and 2034, to reach a value of USD 168.10 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Mobile mapping refers to the process of collecting geospatial data, including street-level and aerial imagery, from fast vehicles such as automobiles, boats, drones, trains, or airplanes. These vehicles are equipped with advanced mapping systems such as lasers, LiDAR, global navigation satellite systems, photographic devices, or various types of remote sensing equipment. It is an efficient technique which enables organisations and researchers to create accurate 3D models, manage assets, conduct mapping, and survey roads.

• The increasing adoption of mobile mapping by the end users in emerging economies to carry out urban and road planning is expanding the market for mobile mapping. In addition, growing efforts by governments to improve the accessibility of digital services to the citizens across the developing nations are further invigorating the mobile mapping market growth.
• Increasing applications of mobile mapping solutions in the construction and real estate sector to provide information such as on-site conditions and geospatial dynamics, is further adding to the market growth. Rapid urban development and increasing population is escalating the applications of mobile mapping across the construction and real estate sector.
• Mobile mapping is fast, versatile, easily-to-integrate, and provides photorealistic documentation which makes it useful in the government and public sector. In this regard, increasing investments by governments to bolster preparedness during disaster management and to aid the military management are expected to be the mobile mapping market trends.
