DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3l98mb/global) has announced the addition of the Geographical Information Systems Market - 2013 Report to their offering.

Global GIS Market Expected To Post A CAGR Of 9.60% During 2012-2016

A geospatial information system or geographical information system (GIS) is a set of tools that interprets geographical or geospatial data or information. These systems digitize the received geospatial data, process (store, interpret, analyze, and manipulate) the data, and provide the required output.

One of the largest segments in the global GIS market is traditional GIS. A large portion of revenue is also generated from hardware and software products. One of the main growth factors is the increasing demand of GIS from Government sectors. However, the increased number of government regulations and guidelines could affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.

In terms of revenue, North America accounts for a large share in the Global GIS market, and is followed by Europe. The market generated more revenue from developed countries as compared to developing countries in the year 2012. The APAC region is one of the fastest growing geographies in the global market due to the emergence of several manufacturing industries in this region.

The Global GIS market is driven by several government agencies and public sectors such as Utility, Natural Resource, and Telecom. It is also witnessing a huge demand from several non-conventional manufacturing industries such as Retail, Financial Services, and Transpiration.

The Global GIS market is fragmented with the presence of several large and core GIS vendors; some vendors are trying to specialize in any one segment of GIS. There is also a huge potential for GIS software vendors in the market as the Software product segment of the GIS market is growing at a rapid rate. Some large vendors offer services such as consulting, implementation, and end-to-end to create a competitive edge in the market.
