(30 January 2007) Allbizreport.com announces that a new market research report related to the world wide GPS market is now available : World Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Market Forecast (2006-2008)

The World Global Positioning Systems Market Forecast (2006-2008) report reviews the recent market status, developments and capabilities of Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

The implications of technical policies, timely deployment, activities applied and adopted by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and the efforts undertaken by world governments are covered in the report.

The technology in the recent times has made an increasing contribution to the global economy, especially within USA and Japan affecting avionics/aerospace applications, navigational systems related to transportation, vehicle tracking and public safety.

The report presents the current role of governments in promoting global competition for GPS-related sales by continents, largely involving regulatory matters such as certification of GPS in safety-of-life applications and export controls on military-grade GPS equipments.

Key Findings

• With more and more affordable GPS receivers and components flooding the market, the world-wide GPS market will reach a value of more than US$ 30 Billion approximately by 2008.
• The people tracking and handset market segments under GPS will have the largest growth rate, of approximately 9%, by 2008
• Use of digital signalling and media broadcasts has increased the demand for the use of network applications fitted with GPS tools, thereby paving the way for cheaper and more reliable GPS devices.
• The key opportunity lies in the field of RFID.
• However, cost of deployment would be a major deciding factor.
