LBS - Location Based Services
Innovation Reports - 15/10/2008
What kind of growth is expected for the European consumer market ?
Though still young, the location-based services (LBS) market is increasingly successful, driven largely by navigation applications and equipment. The range of services available is beginning to grow and navigation is being paired with local searches. While LBS market players must promote their products and services, they are still often confronted with the fragility of their business models and they must face market consolidation. In the longer term, the arrival on the market of Europes Galileo system should help improve performance and services, without upsetting the structure of the market.
