Location-Based Services (LBS) Ecosystem and Value Chains

Services Summary, Market Trends, Drivers and Barriers, and Forecasting

The LBS market is characterized by a large variety of services, devices and solutions with navigation expected to remain the most important application. While the location-industry value chains remain largely fragmented, the ongoing consolidation trend will contribute to the LBS industry moving to a mature stage with stable growth driven by the increasing availability of GPS-handsets, affordable data rate plans offered by carriers, a large range of user-friendly mobile devices and a rich choice of applications offered by third party developers. At the same time converged LBS solutions continue to be challenged by dedicated navigation and telematics solutions such as Personal Navigation Devices and systems like Onstar. The report provides an overview of the services, trends, drivers, barriers, ecosystems, value chains and forecast of the LBS, navigation, telematics and GPS-handset markets.
