The Asia-Pacific Location-based Services Market to reach $118.2 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period 2024–2031. The growth of the Asia-Pacific location-based services is driven by the proliferation of location-based services in the retail sector and the surging use of location-based services in the agriculture sector. However, dynamic government rules and regulations for location-based services restrain the growth of this market. Furthermore, constant upgrades in mapping and navigation solutions are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the high costs of procuring and implementing location-based services are a major challenge impacting market growth. Additionally, the use of 5G technology for improved real-time analysis and the development of GIS software using augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) technologies are prominent trends in this market.
