The key functions of GIS are location-based services, mapping, surveying, and telematics and navigation. The demand for GIS has been the highest for mapping in the past, owing to the high urbanization rate in developed and developing countries. The need for urban planning applications, such as urban growth assessment, land acquisition, land zone classification, environment impact analysis, and water quality management, is increasing rapidly across the globe. 

In regard to disaster management, emergency management authorities make use of the available data for managing the disaster or for analyzing the possible consequences of a possible disaster, before it occurs. It is attributed to this that the global GIS market is projected to generate a revenue of $25.6 billion in 2030, increasing from $7.5 billion in 2019, demonstrating a 12.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2020–2030), as per a study by PS Intelligence. 

Geographically, North America emerged as the largest GIS market during 2014–2019, as the system is being used widely by government organizations and healthcare professionals. In addition to this, the swift adoption of GIS for mapping solutions to manage battlefield operations, gather intelligence, monitor possible terror activities, and analyze terrain is also leading to the growth of the regional industry. Other than this, the demand for GIS is predicted to rise in Asia-Pacific as well in the coming years.
