Market Overview

Gathering geographical data from movable vehicles, such as cars, drones, boats, trains, or airplanes, is known as mobility mapping. Gathering geospatial data from a mobile vehicle which is usually equipped with a variety of remote sensing systems such as GNSS, photography, radar, laser, LiDAR, and more is known as mobile mapping. These systems consist of a mobile platform equipped with an integrated array of time-synchronized navigation and image sensors. Users of the internet and mobile devices are increasingly using geospatial data, such as georeferenced images or maps. Online mapping systems have been developed by Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo using both satellite and aerial imagery. There is also a growing market for photos similar to Street View. Additionally, due to the current 5G internet technologies, this market is fostering the development of new automated and quick data collection methods.

Driving Factors

Accurate mapping data is becoming more and more necessary as Japan makes investments in self-driving technologies. Autonomous cars need comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) environments to navigate safely and efficiently. Mobile mapping systems offer these settings. Additionally, mobile mapping is being used more and more in Japan's logistical and transportation sectors for monitoring assets, fleet management, and route improvement. Similarly, the construction sector in Japan employs mobile mapping for duties including site mapping, progress monitoring, and volume estimation. Japan's growing urbanization and digitization is one of the key drivers propelling Japan's mobile mapping market. Furthermore, typhoons and earthquakes are frequent natural disasters in Japan. The quick evaluation of destruction and the preparation of plans for disaster response and recovery are made easier by mobile mapping technology.

Restraining Factors

The adoption of mobile mapping solutions in enterprises with limited budgets will be restricted due to their initial cost. Therefore, the use of such systems for routine road corridor surveys has been severely constrained due to the high cost of system procurement and implementation.

Market Segmentation

The Japan mobile mapping market share is classified into type and application

• The 3D mapping segment is expected to dominate the Japan mobile mapping market during the forecast period.       

Based on the type, the Japan mobile mapping market is divided into 3D mapping, licensing, indoor mapping, location-based services, and location-based search. Among these, the 3D mapping segment is expected to dominate the Japan mobile mapping market during the forecast period. In comparison to 2D mapping, 3D mapping provides a better degree of visual representation and accuracy. Because it gives users a three-dimensional perspective of their surroundings, mapping experiences becomes more realistic and engaging.

• The imaging services segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

The Japan mobile mapping market is segmented by application into imaging services, aerial mobile mapping, emergency response planning, internet applications, facility management, and satellite. Among these, the imaging services segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. Visual data from imaging services is extremely beneficial to a variety of sectors. High-definition photos, street views, and aerial perspectives can be captured with mobile mapping devices that have imaging abilities.
