According to The Insight Partners' research, the Asia Pacific GNSS Chips and Modules Market was valued at US$ 2,445.2 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 4,435.6 Million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Soaring use of GNSS chip in consumer electronic devices and surging need for accuracy in real-time data are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Asia Pacific GNSS chips and modules market.
Smartphones, smart wearables, digital cameras, tablets, and other consumer electronic devices use GNSS technology for mapping, geo-marketing, and navigation applications. GNSS chips are integrated into these devices to offer precise locations to users while running, walking, or driving. This feature has led to increasing adoption of location-based services (LBS) and applications depending on the 4G network solution.
Market players are developing GNSS-based wearable devices. In June 2022, Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, announced the release of its LC76G module, a compact single-band ultra-low power GNSS module featuring fast and accurate location performance. In January 2025, u-blox launched the UBX-M10150-CC, a GNSS chip designed for wearable devices. It offers size, power efficiency, and performance advancements for battery-powered devices. The chip measures 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, making it suitable for integration into small wearable devices such as sports watches and smartwatches. It also includes a mode specifically designed for open water swimming. A rise in the use of location-based services such as online food delivery and online cab services propels the demand for GNSS chips.
On the contrary, concerns related to jamming and spoofing attacks hamper the growth of the Asia Pacific GNSS chips and modules market.
