Digital Map Market by Solution (GIS Platforms, Location Analytics, Geospatial Intelligence Tools, Mapping Data and Content Platforms, Indoor Mapping and Positioning Tools), Use Case (Navigation, Thematic, Satellite, Traffic Maps) - Global Forecast to 2030

The digital map market is anticipated to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% over the forecast period, reaching USD 49.73 billion by 2030 from an estimated USD 31.24 billion in 2025. The digital map market is growing as retailers and marketers increasingly use location analytics to choose store sites, target customers, and improve logistics. At the same time, governments and enterprises are demanding advanced mapping of infrastructure such as telecom, power, and water networks to support planning and maintenance. However, a key restraint for vendors is that success in fast-growing areas like autonomous vehicles and logistics often depends heavily on partnerships with automotive and transport players, creating dependency risks.

“Outdoor mapping leading mobility and infrastructure innovation”

The outdoor mapping location segment is estimated to hold the major share of the digital map market in 2025, as most navigation, logistics, and mobility services rely heavily on outdoor spatial data. Outdoor maps are the backbone of applications such as road navigation, public transportation planning, and last-mile delivery, all of which are growing rapidly with the expansion of e-commerce and ride-hailing platforms. The demand for accurate outdoor mapping is also being fueled by the rise of autonomous vehicles and drones, which require high-definition, constantly updated outdoor maps to operate safely in real-world conditions. Governments and municipalities are increasingly digitizing roads, utilities, and public spaces to support smart city initiatives, boosting the adoption of outdoor mapping. Additionally, outdoor maps play a critical role in sectors like agriculture, forestry, mining, and energy, where geospatial data is used for monitoring and resource management across vast areas. The use of GPS-enabled smartphones and connected devices has made outdoor mapping indispensable for everyday consumer navigation and location-based services. Continuous improvements in satellite imaging, aerial surveys, and sensor integration are further enhancing the accuracy and usability of outdoor maps

“Advances in satellite imaging and remote sensing fuel 2D mapping type segment”

The 2D mapping type segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the digital map market in 2025 because of its widespread use across both consumer and enterprise applications. Two-dimensional maps form the foundation of most navigation systems, mobile applications, and online platforms, making them the most familiar and accessible mapping format. They are widely used in smartphones, GPS devices, and web-based applications to provide route guidance, location searches, and area overviews. In industries such as logistics, retail, and travel, 2D maps continue to be the preferred choice for tracking assets, optimizing delivery routes, and planning customer engagement due to their simplicity and lower processing requirements compared to 3D maps. Governments and public agencies also rely heavily on 2D maps for tasks like land records, infrastructure planning, and urban management, further cementing their role in large-scale adoption. Advances in satellite imaging and remote sensing have significantly improved the accuracy and detail of 2D maps, making them more reliable for real-time applications. In addition, integration with cloud platforms and APIs allows businesses to easily embed 2D maps into their digital services at scale. The combination of familiarity, cost efficiency, and broad compatibility ensures that 2D mapping will maintain its dominance in market share by 2025.

“Asia Pacific to witness rapid market growth fueled by innovation and emerging technologies, while North America leads in market size”

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for digital maps during 2025–2030, driven by rapid urbanization, large-scale infrastructure development, and government-backed smart city initiatives. Countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are making significant investments in geospatial technologies, satellite imaging, and 5G-enabled location services. The rise of e-commerce, ride-hailing platforms, and delivery logistics across the region further accelerates demand for real-time and high-definition mapping solutions. In parallel, the region is also witnessing strong adoption of drones, robotics, and autonomous vehicle trials, all of which require advanced digital mapping. On the other hand, North America is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2025 due to its early adoption of mapping technologies, mature ecosystem of digital map vendors, and high usage across sectors such as automotive, defense, logistics, and utilities. The region benefits from widespread penetration of connected devices, early rollout of autonomous mobility solutions, and continuous advancements in GPS and sensor integration. Strong collaboration between technology providers, transport players, and enterprises ensures that digital maps are deeply embedded in everyday business operations. This makes North America the leading region in terms of current market size, while Asia Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.
