Global GNSS Chips and Modules Market, valued at USD 3.92 billion in 2024, is poised for substantial growth, projected to reach USD 7.43 billion by 2032. This expansion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.29% from 2025 to 2032, is detailed in a comprehensive new report published by Semiconductor Insight. The study underscores the indispensable role these precision positioning components play across consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial applications, forming the backbone of modern location-aware technologies.
GNSS chips and modules, essential for providing accurate real-time positioning and navigation data, have become critical components in everything from smartphones and connected vehicles to drones and asset tracking systems. Their evolution towards multi-constellation support and centimeter-level accuracy is revolutionizing how industries operate, enabling everything from autonomous driving to precision agriculture. The integration of these components with 5G, IoT, and AI technologies creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation while presenting complex technical challenges that manufacturers must address.
Smartphone Proliferation and Automotive Innovation: Dual Growth Engines
The report identifies the massive global smartphone adoption and rapid automotive technological advancement as the primary drivers for GNSS chip demand. With over 6.8 billion smartphone users worldwide and annual shipments exceeding 1.4 billion units, the consumer electronics segment accounts for approximately 65% of total GNSS chip consumption. The integration of GNSS capabilities into system-on-chip (SoC) designs has become standard practice, with leading manufacturers embedding multi-frequency support directly into their processors.
"The automotive sector's transformation toward connected and autonomous vehicles represents the most significant growth opportunity," the report states. "With advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) requiring positioning accuracy within centimeters rather than meters, the demand for high-precision GNSS modules is accelerating dramatically." The automotive GNSS market is projected to grow at over 12% annually through 2030, driven by regulatory mandates for emergency calling systems (eCall) and the rapid development of autonomous vehicle technologies.
