Market Dynamics

Exponential Surge in Digitalization among Industry Verticals to Drive the Market 

With the surge in the adoption of smartphones and internet connectivity across the globe, the demand for location-based advertising has increased significantly. Digitalization enables verticals to easily cater to the attraction of consumers and enhance their global footprint within minimum budgets. Furthermore, increasing penetration of internet connectivity, such as the LTE network, plays a crucial role in reaching out to as many consumers as possible via digitalization. For instance, Google’s revenue jumped from 32.4% in 2017 to 33.8% in 2019.

Segmental Analysis

Push Type Segment to Grow with the Highest CAGR during the Forecast Period

The push type segment is projected to grow with the highest CAGR on account of the emergence of innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and digital OOH. Furthermore, opt-out type services in push type are preferable type services deployed by advertisers. As per the survey by Airship in 2019, approximately 51% of users prefer push type notifications. The pull type segment, on the other hand, is anticipated to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period due to the increasing internet penetration rate and surging use of smartphones.

Increasing Usage of Social Media for Brand Awareness to Drive the Segment Growth

The multimedia segment is largely driven by the increasing usage of social media, which enables verticals to target consumers based on locations and interests. Similarly, social media and search engines are enabling verticals to easily make ads based on interest to cater to more audiences. As per the survey of Airship, in 2019, 2.91 billion people were using social media platforms and the number is projected to grow considerably during the forecast period. In June 2020, GroundTruth launched Connected TV solutions and Desktop offering, coupled with its existing mobile capabilities, to expand the reach of location-based marketing through cross-device channels.  

Public Spaces Segment to Dominate the Market during the Forecast Period

The public spaces segment dominates the market on account of the surging adoption of location-based services by enterprises and institutions. Institutions and enterprises, including auto-dealers, financial institutions, restaurants, retails and healthcare institutions, are adopting location-based advertising to attract more consumers. Moreover, verticals, such as banking institutions, healthcare and public institutions, are enhancing their mobile applications to inbuilt geo-locations services in order to offer more customized services.

In January 2017, Telesoft Technologies launched location-based services in India to address the fast-growing location-based services and subscriber tracking applications market. This enables Telesoft Technologies to provide OEMs and System Integrators the location-related signaling information that enables them to provide subscribers with sophisticated, geographically targeted applications.
