FEDERAL GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS MARKET. 1991-1996 INPUT
Abstract
INPUT estimates that the federal geographic information systems (GIS)
market will grow from $162 million in 1991 to $438 million in 1996, at a
compound annual growth rate of22%.
This unusually high growth rate results from a low starting base, wide-
0MB
spread agency use, state and local government involvement, and
interest. INPUT expects this growth rate to result in increased sales
opportunities, especially for companies offering multifeatured solutions.
Presently, no vendor dominates federal GIS activities. Rather, numerous
vendors provide equipment, software, and related professional services in
a mix-and-match mode. To increase market penetration, vendors need to
develop multiple hardware/software offerings and establish strategic
teaming alliances. To the extent that they can establish special capability
niches, they will increase their appeal as preferred contractors and team-
ing partners.
The report contains 104 pages and 30 exhibits.
