01 · MARKET LANDSCAPE
RTK turns GNSS signals into centimetre-level, real-time positioning EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • RTK corrects GNSS signals to deliver centimetre-level accuracy, a step change over change over standard GPS. • Core uses: land surveying, autonomous vehicles, drone navigation and industrial operations. • North America dominates market share and is projected to hold it through 2030; Asia-Pacific shows a steady rise. • High upfront cost restrains SME adoption; 5G integration is the key upside.
