Active Geofencing Market Analysis

The active geofencing market was valued at USD 930.7 million in 2021, and it is expected to register a CAGR of 23.96% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. The active geofencing market is witnessing growth due to increased use of spatial data, improved real-time location technology, and higher adoption of location-based applications among consumers globally.

  • Geofencing is a location-based service used by various end users in which an application or software uses technologies such as GPS, PFID, Wi-Fi, or cellular data to trigger a pre-programmed action when the specific device enters or exits a pre-defined virtual boundary in a geographical location which is known as a geofence.
  • The active geofence is used in various end-user industries, such as BFSI, defense, government, healthcare, retail, and many more, for uses such as marketing, user engagement, IoT, real-time location tracking for on-demand services, asset tracking, health and safety, and many more.
  • The advancements in active geofencing have increased with technological flexibility and functionality. Trends, such as mobile marketing, focal clustering, autonomous cars, increasing adoption of BYOD, etc., are driving the market's growth. Thus, the market studied is expected to witness steady growth, with the high growth coming from market players.
  • The rising concerns and regulations related to location tracking can threaten active geofencing technology. Moreover, the implementation of active geofencing solutions is being restrained due to the lack of a regulatory body on privacy and data collection in various regions.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an upsurge in adopting active geofence technology in various applications such as healthcare, industrial manufacturing, and many more. For instance, various companies needed an application to identify the staff on their premises and communicate with them directly and instantly. Active geofencing has played a crucial role in ensuring that immediate, targeted communications are delivered during a crisis.

Active Geofencing Industry Segments

Geofencing uses GPS, cellular technologies, or Wi-Fi to track the devices required to be monitored against defined geofences. Geofence is the virtual perimeter surrounding the physical location configured using maps. Active geofences require users to opt-in for location services through GPS or radio frequency identification (RFID).

Active Geofencing Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Active Geofencing Market according to our research experts:

Retail Segment to Witness Significant Growth

  • Active geofencing enables retailers to recognize customers within a predetermined radius around a specific location and send them customized messages and special offers designed to encourage them to walk into the store and purchase. Additionally, with the advent of digitization across the retail sector, the demand for active geofencing is rapidly increasing in the retail industry.
  • Further, active geofencing allows retailers to gain real-time insights into customers' behavior and where they are most likely to participate in certain activities. This data helps retailers precisely target ads and allows them to adapt their marketing strategy based on real-time consumer behaviors.
  • In addition, since geofenced data allows retailers to focus mainly on consumers who are most likely to engage with their services or products, marketing campaigns powered by geofencing tend to yield a higher return on ad spend. Thus boosting the profit for the retail organizations.
  • Moreover, active geofencing has the potential to help retailers connect with their customers, increase footfall and strengthen customer loyalty. Personalizing and targeting offers based on customer data allows retailers to stay relevant and understand consumers' needs well.
  • Retailers in the automotive industry use active geofencing to watch the consumers taking test drives. If the consumer tries to exit the specified geofenced area, an immediate alert can be achieved so that a quick response can be taken to avoid asset losses.
  • Further, in the future, combined with active geofencing and advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR), customers expect a more digital-first, personalized shopping experience as more mobile devices become wearables. This will further boost the adoption of active geofencing in retail over the forecast period. In addition, growing adoption among retailers to promote their offers and marketing provides a promising future for the growth of the active geofencing market in the retail industry over the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Witness Fastest Growth

  • The Asian-Pacific region comprises major countries with fast-rising economies like China and India. These countries have significant small and medium enterprises. The rising need for geofencing technology by small and medium enterprises is creating an opportunity for the geofencing market in the region.
  • According to the Asia Pacific Economic Corporation, small and medium-sized businesses are the drivers of growth and innovation in the region. Over 97 % of all businesses and more than half of the labor force in APAC economies. Their contribution to GDP typically ranges from 40% to 60% in most economies, making them a key contributor to economic growth. Government programs like Digital India have also promoted technologies in these nations' commercial sectors.
  • In India, the National Roadways for EV (NHEV) has been working with several geofencing technology companies to make the highways theft-proof and subject to 24-hour breakdown service surveillance. For example, the Jaipur-Delhi-Agra E-Highway would be geofenced to allow electric vehicles and use a theft-proof relay concept.
  • Food delivery businesses are rising with the increasing usage of smartphones in the region, and all delivery companies use geofencing technology in their applications for better communications. For example, in Singapore, Grab Maps uses geofencing to provide drivers with safe transportation. At Grab, they use geofencing to assist the driver partners in avoiding locations where traffic has been unexpectedly or momentarily stopped.
  • The region is witnessing significant growth in the number of commercial vehicles because of the increase in the economy. According to the NITI Aayog report, Road freight transit is increasing in India. The number will rise from 4 million in 2022 to approximately 17 million trucks by 2050. As a result, geofencing technology providers in the country have a growing market.
