The growth in mobile device penetration is expected to propel the growth of the geofencing market going forward. A mobile device refers to a portable electronic gadget designed for wireless communication and transmitting data wirelessly. Mobile device penetration is increasing due to the popularity of social media platforms and messaging apps, the growth of e-commerce, and affordable data plans and tariffs. Geofencing utilizes mobile device GPS (Global Positioning System) hardware and software to create location-aware applications and integrate with apps for customized notifications and actions based on predefined geographic areas. For instance, in October 2023, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a Switzerland-based United Nations agency, in 2023, there were 111 mobile-cellular and 87 mobile-broadband subscriptions per 100 people. Over five years, mobile-broadband grew 27%, far outpacing the 7% growth in mobile-cellular services. Therefore, the growth in mobile device penetration is driving the growth of the geofencing market.

Major companies operating in the geofencing market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as geofencing capabilities to enhance cybersecurity offerings for managed service providers. Geofencing capabilities refer to the functionalities within a system or application that allow users to define virtual boundaries or geographic areas. These boundaries are then used to trigger actions or notifications when a mobile device enters or exits the specified area. For instance, in March 2024, Trustifi LLC, a US-based cyber security company, launched geofencing capabilities in Australia to provide increased security solutions. This innovative geofencing approach enhances data security by limiting geographical data transmission, particularly in sensitive sectors like healthcare, finance, and legal sectors. Trustifi's geofencing feature ensures that personal data is maintained locally, meets compliance standards, and protects sensitive information by establishing virtual boundaries that restrict data transit geographically.

In April 2024, EYSA Group, a Spain-based IT services and consulting company, acquired Net4things for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances EYSA's capabilities in smart mobility services, enabling improved traffic management and supporting environmental initiatives in urban areas within Spain and internationally. Net4things is a Spain-based software development company that specializes in developing advanced solutions for managing connected vehicle data and IoT applications.
