This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The geodetic measuring devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $33.3 billion in 2024 to $36.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development projects, land surveying and mapping needs, environmental monitoring, global navigation and positioning systems, scientific research and geophysics.
The geodetic measuring devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart cities and urban planning, climate change and environmental modeling, digital twin applications, precision agriculture, infrastructure resilience, increasing importance in disaster monitoring and response. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of geospatial information systems (GIS), focus on environmental monitoring and climate studies, demand for high-accuracy positioning in navigation, application in precision agriculture practices.
Anticipated growth in the geodetic measuring devices market is propelled by the escalating demand for geological surveys. Geological surveys systematically explore the subsurface geology of specific terrains, utilizing various techniques from conventional walk-over surveys to invasive methods, culminating in the creation of geological maps or models. Geodetic measuring devices play a pivotal role in these surveys by accurately measuring positions, elevations, and orientations of Earth's surface points. These devices facilitate the creation of precise maps and models essential for studying the geological composition of an area. In 2023, The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a substantial budget increment of 30.01%, soaring from $1.316 billion in 2022 to $1.711 billion in 2023. This substantial investment signifies a staffing of 8,344 full-time equivalents (FTEs), with a workforce exceeding 8,000 scientists, technicians, and support staff stationed across 400 facilities nationwide. Notably, the 2023 budget allocation includes $147 million for Energy and Mineral Resources programs, along with $72.7 million dedicated to land management research. Therefore, the burgeoning demand for geological surveys is anticipated to be a significant driver propelling the growth trajectory of the geodetic measuring devices market.
The increasing use of electronic devices for surveying is anticipated to drive the growth of the geodetic measuring devices market in the future. Electronic surveying devices, such as GPS receivers, total stations, laser scanners, drones, and mobile data collection applications, have enhanced the accuracy, efficiency, and speed of surveying processes. Additionally, electronic surveying devices enable precise distance measurements using modulated microwave or infrared carrier signals. For example, in February 2024, Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, reported that mobile connections in the UK reached 71.8 million, marking a 3.8% increase from the previous year and adding approximately 2.6 million new connections. Additionally, the UK population is expected to grow to 68.3 million by 2025, with an estimated 95%, or around 65 million people, projected to own a smartphone. Thus, the increasing adoption of electronic devices for surveying will support the growth of the geodetic measuring devices market.
Distinguished entities within the geodetic measuring devices market prioritize the development of innovative products, exemplified by the introduction of laser GNSS receivers, aimed at delivering steadfast customer service. Laser GNSS receivers employ laser ranging techniques to measure satellite distances for precise positioning, offering superior accuracy compared to conventional GNSS receivers reliant on radio signals. For instance, in December 2022, ComNav Technology Ltd., a leading China-based provider specializing in high-accuracy positioning solutions, unveiled the Venus Laser RTK GNSS Receiver. This device revolutionizes surveying techniques by enabling rodless surveys, leveraging a millimeter-level laser distance meter and the high-precision SinoGNSS K8 module. When operating in laser mode, it assumes the range pole's functions, expanding the capabilities of GNSS surveying. The Venus model boasts a conventional precision of 2.5 cm and allows tilt adjustments of up to 60°, achieving an impressive accuracy of 5.5 cm within a 60° tilt angle when in laser modes. This innovation signifies a significant stride in enhancing precision and functionality within the geodetic measuring devices market.
