Executive Summary and Europe Geographic Information System Market Analysis:

The geographic information system market in Europe is driven by the increasing demand from the automotive and construction sectors. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) stated that vehicle production in Europe was 18 million units in 2023. Furthermore, more than 12 million passenger cars were produced across the European Union in 2023, an increase of 11.3% compared to 2022. Automotive manufacturers in Europe are adopting geographic information systems to meet the growing demand for mapping and navigation. Major manufacturers such as General Motors have adopted spatial analytics solutions for its more than 4,300 GM dealers to meet local and global demand and further expand their business.

The automotive industry in Europe accounted for ~20% of global production of vehicles in 2022. The adoption of connected vehicles is gaining momentum across the region. Connected vehicles comprise geographic information systems with software, hardware, and other solutions. These GIS solutions include ArcGIS, QGIS, and SAGA GIS, among others. The adoption is driven by consumer preferences, regulatory measures, and safety standards, and an increase in the implementation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Governments of various countries in Europe are actively supporting the deployment of connected vehicles to enhance road safety and reduce emissions. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) is one of the EU's connected vehicle projects. Successful implementation of this system will enable information exchange between vehicles and the road infrastructure. The C-ROADS Platform, which enables the uniform deployment of C-ITS operations across Europe, is being developed in collaboration with road authorities and operators. Many notable countries in Europe, such as Germany, Spain, France, and the UK, are investing heavily in developing suitable infrastructure for connected mobility. For instance, Spain is building its first intelligent highways. In this project, Kapsch TrafficCom's technology and software will enable the digitalization of a 60 km section of the A8 motorway near Bilbao by 2024. Also, in July 2024, the EU Commission planned to invest more than US$ 7.62 billion for the safe, sustainable, and smart transportation infrastructure project. The European Commission selected more than 134 transportation projects to receive more than US$ 7.61 billion under an EU grant for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
