GIS in Disaster Management Market Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, and Trends in Coming Years

The rising adoption of the GIS technology in government organizations for emergency management is expected to drive the GIS in disaster management market at a high CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period (2020–2030). The market stood at $2.3 billion in 2019, and it is projected to reach $9.4 billion by 2030. These organizations are deploying advanced technologies for the effective management of disaster situations, assisting communities in preparing for such mishaps, forecasting emergencies, handling search and rescue operations, and estimating the overall damage.

At present, the adoption of GIS-supported applications is escalating at a significant pace due to the digital transformation of the organizations dealing with disaster and emergency management. GIS aids disaster management agencies in the easy collection of updated data on vulnerable locations and evacuation needs. For example, in September 2019, Esri Inc. introduced an application, named Hurricane Aware, which is compatible with its ArcGIS Living Atlas platform. This application offers information support to the National Hurricane Center and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center for predicting hurricanes.


Globally, the North American region made the most use of such solutions for disaster management during 2014–2019. This was due to the surging need for integrating state-of-the-art technologies in geospatial solutions, increasing government spending on disaster management, and rising concerns over the intensifying losses owing to hurricanes, floods, and tornados. Additionally, the strong presence of GIS vendors and a strategic shift of emergency management organizations toward digital information support the adoption of such solutions in the region.

According to P&S Intelligence, the APAC GIS in disaster management market will witness the fastest growth in the coming years. This will be due to the changing climatic conditions and increasing incidence of natural disasters, including earthquakes, cyclones (called typhoons in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean region), and floods, in densely populated nations, such as India, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan. Resultingly, disaster management agencies in APAC are focusing on the adoption of platforms that can help them in better understanding and responding to such events.

Thus, the growing incidence of natural calamities and rising degree of collateral and financial damage due to them are impelling government emergency management organizations to adopt the GIS technology for disaster management.

Huge Growth Expected in Japan Heat Stress Monitor Market in Future

In the last 100 years, the average annual temperature of Japan has risen by a whole degree (Celsius), says the World Wildlife Fund. Moreover, the number of hot days, when the maximum temperature is more than 35 °C, is higher now than before, while the cold has become less extreme. Even the instances and duration of snowfall and the extent of ice in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk are reducing.  With such rampant global warming, the Japanese population is suffering more than ever because it is simply not used to such hot conditions. Moreover, by 2050, the annual mean temperature in the country is set to rise by 3 °C and, further, by 5 °C by 2080. According to P&S Intelligence, due to such climate change, the Japanese heat stress monitor market , which valued $1.98 million in 2020, is expected to reach $3.96 million by 2030, at a 7.05% CAGR between 2021 and 2030.  This is because the changing weather conditions are leading to the rising number of heat stroke cases, ...
