How traditional GPS operators can break through and explore new areas

GPS operators

Traditional GPS operators looking to break into new overseas markets must shift from โ€œselling coordinatesโ€ to โ€œselling capabilities,โ€ and from one-off hardware sales to recurring data revenues. By aligning with the latest global market data and regional policy dynamics, four high-growth tracks stand out.

GPS operators


1. Europe GPS operators: Dual-engine growth through high-precision GNSS and carbon compliance

  • Market size
    European downstream GNSS revenue is projected to rise from โ‚ฌ90 B (2023) to โ‚ฌ180 B (2033); 42 % of the incremental value will come from centimetre-level accuracy use cases.
  • Entry points
    โ€ข Carbon compliance โ€“ The EU โ€œFit for 55โ€ package will require heavy trucks to report real-time carbon-per-kilometre starting in 2027.ย  GPS Operators can bundle Galileo/GPS high-precision units with carbon-accounting SaaS and charge per โ€œcarbon-kilometre.โ€
    โ€ข Autonomous farming โ€“ Dutch and Danish subsidies for GNSS-RTK-equipped unmanned tractors create demand for โ€œpositioning-as-a-service.โ€ Lease a base-station network + multi-IMSI SIM/eSIM module and invoice by hectare-year.

2. North America GPS operators: Mileage-based insurance & freight financing

  • Market size
    North-American downstream GNSS revenue reached โ‚ฌ78 B in 2023 and is expected to hit โ‚ฌ145 B in 2033; 28 % of the new value will stem from insurance & financial-risk services.
  • Entry points
    โ€ข UBI (Usage-Based Insurance) โ€“ Partner with Progressive, State Farm, etc., upgrading OBD dongles to 5G+IMU fusion devices and charge per โ€œrisk-weighted mile.โ€
    โ€ข Freight-ABS securitization โ€“ Encrypt GPS trajectory data on-chain and sell predictive cash-flow models to Wall Street, earning licensing fees.

3. Japan & South Korea GPS operators: City-scale seamless indoor/outdoor high-precision

  • Market size
    GNSS revenue in Japan & Korea is forecast to grow from โ‚ฌ25 B (2023) to โ‚ฌ43 B (2033); 60 % will be driven by smart-city and robotics applications.
  • Entry points
    โ€ข Underground MaaS โ€“ Tokyo and Seoul subways see >10 M daily riders but no GPS underground. Co-deploy QZSS + 5G small-cell networks with SoftBank/NTT DoCoMo and monetise per โ€œnavigation session.โ€
    โ€ข Robot delivery โ€“ Japan subsidises neighbourhood autonomous delivery requiring โ‰ค10 cm accuracy. Sell differential correction accounts + APIs and bill per robot per month.

4. ASEAN & Belt-and-Road: Low-cost โ€œsatellite + terrestrialโ€ turnkey exports

  • Market size
    ASEAN GNSS revenue was only โ‚ฌ12 B in 2023 but is expected to record a 12 % CAGR through 2033โ€”the worldโ€™s highest.
  • Entry points
    โ€ข Port digital twins โ€“ PSA Singapore and Jakarta ports are rolling out real-time digital yards. Bundle BeiDou/GPS fusion terminals with local CORS and charge per container move.
    โ€ข Shared precision farming โ€“ Smallholders in Thailand and Vietnam lack capital for high-precision gear. Offer โ€œzero-down hardware + pay-per-acreโ€ financing to accelerate fleet GPS Operators.
