Description

The Mobile Locations Based Services Market is valued at USD 66.89 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 22.1% to reach USD 403.5 billion by 2034.

Mobile Locations Based Services Market

The mobile location based services market covers all applications that use a device’s real time or contextual location to deliver navigation, transport and delivery, proximity marketing, indoor experience, social and gaming, public safety, and location analytics. Growth is being pulled by near universal smartphone adoption, better GNSS and sensor fusion in phones, 5G and edge support for low latency positioning, and the fact that retailers, mobility platforms, and city apps now treat location as infrastructure. It is also being reshaped by privacy: app stores and data protection rules require explicit consent, purpose limitation, and more on device processing, so the winning platforms are those that can stay precise while collecting less. On the supply side, vendors compete on map freshness, indoor accuracy, SDK weight and battery usage, privacy by design features, and the ability to combine GPS, Wi Fi, Bluetooth beacons and cell data so that positioning still works in urban canyons and inside venues. In Asia and parts of the Middle East, superapps, telcos, and public digital platforms are building large location graphs that can be monetized across ride hailing, delivery, ads, and financial services. Overall, the market is moving from simply answering “where is the user” to predicting “what is the user about to do at this place right now,” and doing it in a way that regulators and app stores accept.

Mobile Locations Based Services Market Key Insights

Navigation, ride hailing, and on demand delivery remain the biggest and most frequent users of mobile location, giving the market a strong recurring base.
Proximity and geomarketing are getting more selective, triggering offers only when dwell time and intent signals suggest a real chance of conversion.
Indoor and on premise LBS in malls, airports, campuses, hospitals, and stadiums is the next growth pocket because GPS alone is not good enough there.
Privacy and platform rules now shape what data can be collected, so SDKs must ship with consent logging, purpose flags, and shorter retention by default.
Apple and Google controls on background location, tracking, and Bluetooth scanning have raised the bar for developers and favored vendors with very efficient SDKs.
5G and edge computing make real time and safety critical use cases more practical, from fleet tracking to shared mobility to AR guidance.
Enterprises are adopting location intelligence to plan stores, measure footfall, detect fraud, and optimize service territories, pushing LBS beyond consumer apps.
Public safety, school and staff protection, and emergency alerting are creating demand for secure, role based location sharing with audit trails.
Developers prefer light, battery friendly SDKs that work across iOS, Android, and cross platform frameworks and degrade gracefully on weak networks.
Monetization is diversifying: in addition to ads there is now a healthy market for usage based APIs, POI search, store visit attribution, and location data as a service.

Mobile Locations Based Services Market Reginal Analysis

North America

A mature ecosystem built around ride share, food and grocery delivery, navigation, and retail geomarketing. Strict privacy enforcement and app store rules push vendors to do more processing on device and to make consent central. Location based advertising and store visit measurement are widely used by retailers and QSRs.

Europe

Strong demand from transport, tourism, smart city, and public service apps, but with tighter constraints from GDPR and national data protection bodies. Buyers favor LBS platforms that can host and process data in region, document how consent is handled, and support accurate indoor navigation for large transport hubs and shopping centers.

Asia Pacific

The volume center thanks to superapps, ride hailing, last mile delivery, and social commerce. Government smart city programs and telco partnerships give LBS providers access to very large user bases. Price sensitivity is higher, but map freshness, traffic layers, and venue POIs are decisive for retention.

Middle East and Africa

Large urban developments, tourism zones, events, and new public transport systems create greenfield demand for indoor navigation, venue apps, and event based geomarketing. Authorities and developers look for end to end stacks that support Arabic and bilingual interfaces and have privacy controls built in.

South and Central America

Rapid growth in urban mobility, delivery, and retail proximity campaigns, often through regional superapps and telco bundles. Network quality and handset diversity require robust, offline friendly SDKs. Emerging data protection laws modeled on European rules are starting to push developers toward clearer consent and local processing.

    How Do Licenses Work?

    How Do Licenses Work?

    The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

    • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

    • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

    • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

    • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

    • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

    License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
