The GNSS chip market was valued at US$ 4.89 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 9.19 billion by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030. The GNSS chip market trends include the use of GNSS chips in UAVs and UGVs.
Analyst Perspective:
The global GNSS chip market is segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). The market growth is primarily attributed to the rising volume of consumer electronics equipped with navigation and positioning features. In addition, growing demand for 4G and 5G network coverage and high-speed internet and increasing penetration and sales of wearable devices across various global economies boost the GNSS chip market growth.
GNSS Chip Market Overview:
The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is an arrangement of satellites that broadcast signals from space that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The receivers then combine the data with other sensors to identify aspects such as location, speed, and altitude. The visible range of satellites mostly determines the precision and accuracy of GNSS chips. As a result, several governments are attempting to deploy regional constellations to improve navigation and mapping. Five countries, including China, Russia, the US, India, and Japan, and the European Union have GNSS systems on the market.
GNSS system users expect near-instantaneous position exchange. The standard location makes this difficult since at least four satellites must be recognized, and all their data must be obtained. Data transmission and reception might take minutes or hours or even fail under poor signal circumstances or extreme settings. However, by combining GNSS receiver data with information from mobile network cells, the performance can be increased to benefit a variety of IoT applications. Low-power GNSS chips are projected to be in high demand as the number of consumer products with navigation and positioning functionalities increases. Currently, technologically advanced wearable devices are in high demand. About half of the world's population wears tech-advanced wearable gadgets such as fitness bands and smartwatches.

GNSS Chip Market Driver:
Rising Demand for 5G Network and High-Speed Internet Propels GNSS Chip Market Growth
Demand for location-based services (LBS) is increasing. High speed and lower latency of 5G enable advanced and real-time LBS applications such as enhanced navigation with turn-by-turn directions and live traffic updates; augmented reality experiences integrated with real-world locations; precise indoor positioning for shopping malls, airports, and other buildings; improved asset tracking; and fleet management solutions.
Positioning has played an essential role in enabling cellular communication to offer mobile network operators a broad range of approaches to determine each user’s location with varying degrees of accuracy. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) has been the source for accurate positioning of user devices. Many mobile network operators have announced the deployment of 5G networks in urban areas. In February 2024, Vodafone Idea (Vi) announced its projects to roll out 5G services in India in a significant move within the Indian telecom sector. The services are said to be rolled out within the next 6–7 months in the country. In April 2023, The Telco also announced the launch of 5G services for prepaid users in Mexico. In a release, the Mexican carrier said that its more than 68 million prepaid users will now be able to access the company’s 5G network, which means that the benefits of the new technology will be available to more than 80 million Telcel customers. Thus, with the rising numbers of 5G base stations, the requirement for higher-level timing accuracy to secure stable connections over 5G networks is increasing. The Quectel L26-T module can deliver 6.8 nanosecond timing accuracy and meet stringent timing synchronization requirements with 5G networks. Thus, rising demand for 5G network and high-speed internet drives the growth of the GNSS chip market.
