The indoor positioning system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30.36% to reach US$40.208 billion by 2026, from US$6.285 billion in 2019. Indoor positioning systems refer to the network of devices which can be used for locating objects or people where other technologies such as GPS lack precision or fail such as inside alleys, underground locations, parking garages, airports, and multistorey buildings. The use of a large variety of devices and techniques used to provide indoor positionings such as WIFI, smartphones, digital cameras, clocks, and Bluetooth antennas has been providing it a cutting edge over other systems and solutions. The rapid growth of industries such as travel and tourism and retail are driving the market growth of indoor positioning system markers during the forecast period. The rising investment made by industry players into advanced technologies to prioritize customer safety and experience is leading to the increasing adoption of indoor positioning systems during the forecast period. The increasing support from governments of several nations to enhance the safety and well-being of the public is further boosting the market growth of indoor positioning systems. The efficiency of indoor positioning systems has been competitively higher than GPS technology and hence the adoption of indoor positioning systems has further fueled across various industry verticals and among consumers. The proliferation of smartwatches and smartphones and the increasing internet penetration in various regions across the globe are leading to the market growth of indoor positioning systems during the forecast period.

The increasing applications powdered by BLE tags and beacons, Point of Sale devices, the growing integration of beacons in cameras, digital signages, LED lightings and the introduction of location-based applications among customers are driving the market growth of indoor positioning systems during the forecast period. With the rising penetration of smartphones and the changing preferences of consumers regarding buying smartphones, establishments and startups are constantly in search of ways to provide location-based applications for the engagement of indoor users. The use of indoor positioning solutions has allowed retailers to amplify their customer experience and to provide proper navigation for locations and objects. The use of indoor positioning solutions provides an opportunity to companies and organizations to allow customer engagement inside large indoor spaces with their products, brands, and partners to increase their customer relationships and their sales.

Growth Factors

  • Growing business applications across industry verticals, enterprises, and government sectors. 

One of the major reasons for the growth of the indoor positioning system market is the adoption of indoor location systems to track workers' movement and trace contacts. The surging need for contact tracing solutions have contributed to the introduction of new products and enhancing their existing products by indoor location solutions providers For example, Ubisense, a leading company tracking the precise location and movement launched its contact tracing solutions to minimize business downtime and to protect workers. Sewio, a company placed in Czechia has been offering UWB RTLS solutions is providing software licenses and free consulting to companies to enable smart quarantine and help them install employee tracking technology.

Restraints 

  • Rising concerns related to data security and privacy would hamper the growth of the indoor positioning systems market. 

A major restraint in the indoor location market is the rising concern regarding data security and privacy obstructing the adoption of indoor location. Location-based data is sensitive and must be protected at all costs. Indoor location-based technologies are used in many applications such as locating people within a certain radius and tracking objects. The availability of several technologies to gain indoor location information such as BLE, RFID, and Wi-Fi that require characteristics of security, data, and privacy. One of the latest technologies introduced in several industry verticals is fingerprint technology. Smartphone user usually uses applications provided by their service provider to gain information from the indoor positioning services and send their unique Media Access Control address to the server which allows the service provider to access information related to the positioning of the user which can be a serious threat to their privacy and could be the serious case if cyber-attacks or data theft activities. This is restraining the market growth of the indoor positioning system market during the forecast period. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Indoor Positioning System Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on the world as a whole and has led to economic breakdown and loss of life. The COVID-19 impact on the indoor positioning system market has been substantial owing to the leverage provided by key major players in the indoor positioning system market in location solutions and hardware for virus tracking, smart quarantine. People management and tracking and facility management. Private companies across various end-user verticals and governments are demanding the adoption of indoor positioning system solutions to track citizens indoors. For example, Inpixon, a world leader in indoor intelligence is offering services or applications based on location-based technology at reduced rates to healthcare workers and organizations looking for assistance in controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus and also to manage the impact of a pandemic on people and their well-being.
