根据未来五年,全球地理空间信息系统(GIS)的增长率将增长50%,占9.3%的复合年增长率。ARC Advisory Group Inc.(www.arcweb.com),德德姆,马萨诸塞州。
ARC说,在不久的将来,将在不久的将来,将在不久的将来,在不久的将来,电力,石油和天然气分配以及联邦政府的划分,将在不久的将来驱动GIS市场收入。尤其是智能电网计划,预计将有助于推动美国电力行业的GIS支出。
预测期的中期至后期的增长将由GIS在亚洲,拉丁美洲和中东等新兴市场中的采用增加而驱动;以及全球经济低迷打击最严重的行业在北美和欧洲的支出返回。
Many publicly traded enterprise software suppliers external to the GIS market have already reported substantial reductions in 2009 revenues. “However, GIS software differs from other enterprise software markets due to the extensive sales to businesses in non-cyclical sectors such as utilities and government. Therefore, the economic downturn’s effect on the GIS market is expected to be subdued in comparison to the downturn’s effect on other enterprise software markets,” said Clint Reiser, ARC enterprise software analyst, and principal author of the study, titled “Geospatial Information Systems Worldwide Outlook.”
GIS for Smart Grid
据ARC称,电力行业的传输和分销操作已采用GIS解决方案作为其网络管理的标准平台技术。由于新兴经济体的电力基础设施的扩张和管理,因此,该行业向该行业的GIS销售将经历高于平均水平的增长,并增加了由美国智能电网倡议引起的投资。
智能电网计划将将分布式生成和新设备引入电力电网。观察到,这将需要大量的网络重新设计。GIS是一种可能用于新网络配置的设计,分析和持续管理的技术。这些不断发展的要求有望提高电力行业中GIS采用,升级和修改的水平。
变革潜力
The deployment of GIS server solutions, or “Enterprise GIS,” has grown considerably over the last decade. As a result, GIS has become accessible to numerous employees across organizations in sectors such as government and utilities. Over the same period, mobile GIS has become more prevalent and shows promise for increased adoption in network design and maintenance functions.
最近,Web服务和云计算的使用已成为行业内的新兴趋势。与客户人口统计数据和其他通用数据集结合使用的空间分析功能已经通过软件即服务(SAAS)模型传递到市场。Arc说,在不久的将来,移动GIS,SAAS交付模型和其他形式的云计算的持续采用具有巨大的转变和扩展细分市场的潜力。
