The navigation system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the integration of augmented reality (AR) in navigation systems, advancements in autonomous vehicles and navigation technology, the widespread adoption of 5G connectivity, the integration of multi-constellation GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), and considerations for environmental navigation. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the continued development and utilization of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), the advancement of autonomous navigation, the evolution of GPS navigation systems, the implementation of intelligent traffic management systems, the application of predictive analytics for traffic, and the enhancement of robust indoor navigation solutions.

The growth of the navigation system market is expected to be driven by the increasing production of autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are capable of self-driving without human intervention, relying on autonomous capabilities that vary based on the level of automation integrated into their systems. Navigation systems play a crucial role in autonomous vehicles by providing route planning and guidance without human intervention. According to a report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in December 2022, it was projected that there would be 3.5 million autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars on American roads by 2025, with an expectation of 4.5 million autonomous vehicles by 2030. This surge in autonomous vehicle production contributes to the growth of the navigation system market.

Leading companies in the navigation system market are concentrating on the development of advanced technological solutions, such as automotive satellite navigation chips (GNSS chips), to solidify their market position. Automotive satellite navigation chips enable precise positioning and navigation in vehicles. In November 2021, STMicroelectronics N.V., a Switzerland-based technology company, introduced the STA8135GA chip in its Teseo V family. This chip is the first automotive-qualified GNSS receiver featuring a triple-band positioning measurement engine on-chip. The triple-band functionality, typically found in precision-demanding fields such as surveying and mapping, offers unparalleled accuracy for driver-assistance systems, ensuring precise decision-making related to the road ahead. The STA8135GA chip's high precision and single-chip integration facilitate the development of reliable and cost-effective navigation systems, contributing to enhanced safety and context awareness in vehicle navigation capabilities.

In April 2023, GE HealthCare Technologies, Inc., a multinational medical technology company based in the US, acquired IMACTIS, a France-based company specializing in computed tomography (CT) navigation system technology. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening GE Healthcare's interventional guidance capabilities and expanding its product range, particularly with the addition of the IMACTIS CT-Navigation system. The integration of IMACTIS technology is expected to provide growth opportunities for GE Healthcare by leveraging its extensive market reach.

A navigation system is an electronic or computing system designed to assist in determining the precise position of a vehicle or vessel and offer real-time guidance to a specific destination. These systems often leverage diverse technologies, including satellite signals, digital maps, and integrated compasses, to provide accurate and up-to-date directions in real time.

The primary categories of navigation systems include satellite navigation systems, surgical navigation systems, inertial navigation systems, and others. A satellite navigation system, also known as a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), utilizes a network of satellites to enable autonomous geopositioning, allowing users to determine their location and the positions of other objects in real-time. Various technologies, such as radio frequency identification-based (RFID), cellular, network, Bluetooth, remote sensing services, real-time kinetic, and others, are employed in these systems. These technologies find applications across diverse industries, including healthcare, aerospace, automotive, marine, intelligent transport systems, agriculture, and farming.
