Endorsements for the Geospatial Market Report 2026

The objective of this report is to help companies plan for the impacts of artificial intelligence on the geospatial market. It will help users understand which technology they will need to learn today and the companies offering solutions to plan their sales tactics and product development.

This report is a compilation of observations from the first half of 2026 as well as meetings and interviews with representatives from private companies, government agencies and other organizations that attended the Esri User Conference (UC), July 13-17, 2026. As the largest geospatial conference globally, the event is attended by a substantial segment of the geospatial technology marketplace to understand how users are adapting to a changing technology environment and how companies are developing products. The objective of the report was to capture these observations and distill the information concisely.

The report is not written by an analyst simply observing the industry; it is written by a strategist who has spent 40 years helping shape it.  The author has worked for and supported technology companies understand markets, launch products, and identify growth opportunities in the evolving location intelligence economy.
