Executive Summary and North America Geographic Information System Market Analysis:

The US, Canada, and Mexico are the economies in North America. The expansion of aircraft fleets across the region primarily drives the flight planning software industry in North America. Additionally, the growing aviation industry in countries such as the US and Canada drives the flight planning software market. The aviation industry is one of the most notable industries in the US. According to data released by Airlines for America in 2023, commercial aviation accounted for 5% of US GDP and US$ 1.37 trillion in 2023. In addition to the rise in air passenger traffic, government initiatives to increase aircraft fleets in defense and commercial aviation sectors are expected to fuel the demand for flight management solutions such as flight planning software during the forecast period. According to The Insight Partners analysis, in 2023, North America had a fleet of more than 8,000 operational commercial aircraft, which is expected to reach ~10,000 by the end of 2033. Such a large number of operating commercial aircraft will further generate the demand for flight planning software in the region. Additionally, the increase in the number of aircraft fleets across North America is expected to increase the need for flight planning software solutions for applications, including flight route optimization, flight scheduling, reduced fuel consumption, and weather forecasting. Furthermore, one of the factors boosting the flight planning software market is the continued emphasis on increasing regulations related to the safety and security of travelers in the region.

North America Geographic Information System Market Outlook

Geographic information system is widely used for the accurate forecasting of storms, hurricanes, and excessive rains. It plays an important role in predicting and mitigating the impact of such natural disaster events by offering essential spatial data, images, and analysis. According to the USA Facts Organizations, in the US, more than 65,000 natural disasters are recorded every year. The US government uses advanced GIS solutions to predict and forecast natural disaster events. From 1980 to 2023, the US recorded and sustained more than 400 weather and climate-related natural disasters, and the overall damage cost exceeded US$ 2.78 trillion. In November 2024, ~24 confirmed weather-related natural disaster events were recorded that cost more than US$ 1 billion. These natural events include one wildfire event, seventeen severe storm events, four tropical cyclone events, and two winter storm events. Thus, the need for forecasting natural disasters fuels the growth of the geographic information system market growth.

North America Geographic Information System Market Country Insights

Based on country, the North America geographic information system market comprises the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US held the largest share in 2023.

The US is witnessing a rise in the number of oil and gas projects. GIS is used for monitoring and predicting potential geohazards in the oil and gas industry. As per the article published by the NES Fircroft in January 2021, a few of the major oil and gas projects are the Alaska LNG Liquefaction Plant Project (Cost: US$ 43 billion, Location: Alaska, US); Cameron LNG Liquefaction Plant (Cost: US$ 10.2 billion, Location: Louisiana, US); Corpus Christi LNG Liquefaction Plant Project (Cost: US$ 24.5 billion, Location: Texas, US); Driftwood LNG Project (Calcasieu Parish LNG Liquefaction Plant) (Cost: US$ 16 billion, Location: Louisiana, US); and Main Pass Energy Hub (MPEH) LNG Export Terminal (Cost: US$ 15 billion, Location: Louisiana, US); among others.

According to ITA, the US will remain the leading market owing to factors such as a large consumer market, available infrastructure, open investment policy, strong research and development capabilities, automotive production, and local and state government incentives. GIS platforms enable traffic management modifications for the different vast road networks available in the country. In addition, the US is witnessing tremendous growth in its construction industry. According to the US Census Bureau, as of August 2024, the residential construction spending of the US was ~US$ 911,429 million and the non-residential construction spending was US$ 1,220,507 million. GIS is widely used in site analysis, infrastructure planning, and project management. Therefore, the geographic information system market in the US is growing owing to the growth of the oil and gas, transportation, and construction industries.
