The geographic information systems (GIS) market is primarily driven by the increasing need to achieve enhanced efficiency and accuracy in various infrastructure and utility planning. Numerous government bodies in the developed countries seek to make use of the geographic information systems (GIS) in order to assess existing infrastructure and plan future projects accordingly. Apart from applications in the public sector, geographic information systems (GIS) have found numerous applications in the private domain. Organizations from various end-use industries such as oil and gas, telecommunication, engineering and business services, transportation and logistics, among others have adopted geographic information systems (GIS). With the use of geo-spatial data, organizations are able to solve specific issues related to their businesses. Moreover, maintenance of geo-spatial data has enabled organizations to analyze and compare outcomes of various business activities at specific locations periodically. Thereby, the geographic information systems (GIS) are expected witness higher adoption in the following years.
Despite numerous benefits of geographic information systems (GIS), various organizations have failed to deploy these systems due to various reasons such as high costs, lack of technological awareness, and inaccuracy of legacy systems. However, technological advancement in image capturing and scanning has led to the rise of highly accurate systems providing precise geo-spatial data. Moreover, with numerous companies offering consultation and implementation services, increasing number of organizations are expected to adopt geographic information systems (GIS) in the following years. Thereby, the geographic information systems (GIS) market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Competitive Insights:

Rise in the number of service providers which make use of third party geographic information systems (GIS) and geo-spatial data to help other organizations in planning and commissioning
Increasing investments towards research and development of advanced geographic information systems (GIS) to ensure higher accuracy and usability of geo-spatial data
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIS science) to refer to the academic discipline that studies geographic information system and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of geo informatics. What goes beyond a GIS is a spatial data infrastructure, a concept that has no such restrictive boundaries.
In general, the term describes any information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information. GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations. Geographic information science is the science underlying geographic concepts, applications, and systems. Source: Wikipedia
What is Geographic Information Systems (GIS)?
Geographic Information Systems is a computer-based tool that analyzes, stores, manipulates and visualizes geographic information, usually in a map.
Never in the history of mankind have we had more pressing issues in need of a geospatial perspective. These global issues require pervasive, complex, location-based knowledge that can only come from a GIS.
Long story short:
Geographic Information Systems really comes down to just 4 simple ideas:
Create geographic data
Manage it.
Analyze it and?
Display it on a map.
These are the primordial functions of a GIS. [Ref: gisgeography.com]
