Geospatial Analytics Powers Smart Utility Services

Geospatial analytics is driven by growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart utility grids and infrastructure management. Geospatial data integrated with sensor data provide comprehensive insights for optimizing resource utilization, infrastructure planning, and predictive maintenance of utilities. Geospatial analytics help tackle challenges of aging infrastructure and rising energy demands by enabling smart metering, distribution automation, and demand response programs. Utilities leverage geospatial data to map energy and water distribution networks, monitor asset performance, detect non-technical losses, and forecast demand patterns. Advanced analytics of geospatial data helps utilities make informed decisions for demand supply management, outage management, and capital project management.

The global Geospatial Analytics Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 73.36 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 14% over the forecast period 2024 To 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

Geospatial data integration with IoT is a key trend shaping the market. IoT-connected smart utility meters, distribution equipment and infrastructure generate streams of real-time sensor data that provide asset intelligence when combined with geospatial information through analytics. Several utilities are implementing AI and machine learning algorithms to derive insights from geospatial-IoT datasets for predictive maintenance, conservation through behavioral demand response and theft detection. Advances in geospatial analytics, Edge and cloud computing are also enabling utilities to realize value from emerging applications of augmented reality, digital twin simulations and spatial enterprise resource planning for improved grid management and service delivery.
