The geographic information industry is a comprehensive industry developed by combining modern surveying and mapping technology, information technology, computer technology, communication technology, and network technology. The problem of imperfect industrial development environment. It includes not only the GIS (Geographic Information System) industry, satellite positioning and navigation industry, aerospace remote sensing industry, but also the traditional surveying and mapping industry and professional applications of geographic information systems. It also includes LBS (Location Based Services), geographic information services, and various related technologies and applications.

Analysis of the current situation of geographic information industry

Geographic information industry is widely used in government, commercial, and civil fields, and is an indispensable and important link in modern information construction.

Benefiting from the continuous increase in national strategic demand, increasing social demand, the vigorous rise of emerging application markets, technological innovation policies and high-tech driven, and the sustained growth of the global geographic information market, China's geographic information industry will usher in unprecedented development opportunities.

The scale of China's geographic information industry has continued to expand since the 13th Five Year Plan. In 2020, the output value of China's geographic information industry was 689 billion yuan, an increase of 6.4% year-on-year. During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, the composite growth rate of the total output value of China's geographic information industry was 13.9%.

The total output value of the geographic information industry increased from 150 billion yuan in 2011 to over 750 billion yuan in 2021, a fourfold increase in ten years.

After nearly a decade of development in the geographic information equipment manufacturing industry, the domestic high-precision geographic information equipment industry has basically taken shape and begun to take shape, with high market concentration and relatively stable competitive landscape. China's measurement equipment manufacturers include Southern Surveying and Mapping, Zhonghaida, and Huadian. Up to now, geographic information software systems have gradually realized import substitution, and the domestic market share has gradually increased.

The geographic information service industry covers a wide range of industries, and there are many listed companies in the industry. There are listed companies that provide geographic information application solutions for public institutions and industry customers, such as Digital Zhengtong, Zhonghaida, Hezong Sizhuang, and Guoteng Electronics; There are also companies that provide geographic information data collection, such as Weiwei Tuxin and Digital Government; There are also companies that provide Internet maps and personal mobile positioning services, such as Four Dimensional Map.

Analysis on the Development Trend and Prospect of Geographic Information Industry

With the introduction of national policies and plans and the continuous promotion of major national projects such as the Beidou Navigation System, it is bound to further optimize the development environment of the geographic information industry and promote a new leap in industrial development. In the future, the development trend of China's geographic information industry mainly includes the following three aspects.

First of all, the industry as a whole presents an evolutionary trend of "the stronger, the diffusion and development". As a high-tech industry, the geographic information industry has strong scientific research, talent, and industrial strength as an important foundation to support its rapid development. With its advantages in industrial clusters, scientific research, and other advantages, regions with strong industrial development such as Beijing, Wuhan, and Xi'an will still be the leading regions for the development of China's geographic information industry in the future.

Secondly, take the Beidou navigation system as an opportunity to restructure the navigation industry pattern. Currently, the Beidou satellite navigation system has launched more than ten satellites and completed a basic system. By around 2020, the Beidou satellite navigation system will have a global coverage capability. Cities across the country will seize the opportunity of building the national Beidou navigation system and begin to establish industrial bases with the theme of promoting the industrialization of the Beidou navigation system.

Finally, the industrial regional division of labor is further clarified. In regions where the geographic information industry has a certain foundation, in the process of industrial development, these regions will rely on their existing foundation to continuously strengthen their advantageous position in the industrial chain, making the division of labor in each region more clear.

Analysis based on the "2022-2027 Geographic Information Industry In-depth Survey and Future Development Trend Prediction Report" of the Zhongyan Puhua Research Report. In the "14th Five Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline, there are nine chapters that explicitly provide instructions and arrangements for geographic information technology and applications. The "14th Five Year Plan" plans of 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government), 5 cities specifically designated in the national plan, and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps also explicitly mention geographic information technology and related applications, engineering, and other content. In the "14th Five Year Plan" of national, local, and various ministries, a large number of national strategies, planning goals, key tasks, and major projects have provided a huge application market for geographic information technology.

In the era of big data, the importance of information is becoming increasingly prominent. Obtaining industry data and analyzing and using industry data can not only save time and reduce costs, but also optimize overall decision-making.
