Spotting Emerging Trends

  • Technological Advancements: Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology achieves centimeter-level accuracy by using two receivers—a fixed base station at a known, precise location, and a rover unit that is moving. The base station continuously calculates and broadcasts real-time correction data based on the difference between the GNSS satellite position signals it receives and its own surveyed, highly accurate coordinate. The rover unit, receiving both the standard GNSS signals and the correction data (typically via a radio link or the internet using a network like NTRIP), applies these corrections to resolve the integer ambiguity of the carrier phase signal. This process effectively removes atmospheric and satellite clock errors common to both receivers, transitioning the position calculation from meter-level code measurement to centimeter-level carrier phase measurement, resulting in a highly precise position solution in real-time.
  • Changing Consumer Preferences: Consumer preferences and demand in the GNSS chips and modules market have undergone a significant transformation, moving the focus from mere availability of location to high-performance, efficient, and versatile positioning. This shift is primarily driven by the proliferation of consumer electronics like smartphones, wearables (smartwatches, fitness trackers), and connected vehicles. Consumers now demand centimeter-level accuracy for their devices, pushing the adoption of technologies like dual-frequency (L1/L5) and multi-constellation support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) to ensure reliable positioning in challenging environments like urban canyons.
  • Regulatory Changes: The most significant recent and expected changes in GNSS regulations are forcing a major technological shift in the chips and modules market, moving demand toward multi-constellation, multi-frequency, and high-integrity solutions. Regulatory mandates from the European Union (EU) requiring Galileo support and China's aggressive policy promoting BeiDou (BDS) are driving the mass-market toward chips capable of accessing multiple satellite systems, thereby improving accuracy and resilience worldwide. Simultaneously, stringent safety regulations for Autonomous Vehicles (L3+ ADAS) and commercial UAVs demand centimeter-level accuracy and high assurance of positional data, pushing the adoption of complex, high-cost solutions like RTK/PPP-enabled modules that meet strict safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262), thus bifurcating the market between cost-sensitive consumer electronics and high-performance industrial/automotive applications.

Growth Opportunities

GNSS technologies Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) both achieve high-accuracy positioning but differ in their methodology and application: RTK delivers real-time, centimeter-level accuracy but requires a local base station or network to transmit corrections, limiting its coverage to areas with local infrastructure and a reliable communication link, making it ideal for local surveying and well-covered precision agriculture. In contrast, PPP uses a global network of reference stations to generate and broadcast precise orbit and clock corrections directly to a single receiver, offering global coverage without a local base station, though it traditionally has a longer convergence time (several minutes) to reach its decimeter or centimeter-level accuracy, making it better suited for remote sensing or offshore operations.
