DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h58jv3/lbs_market_in_the) has announced the addition of the "LBS Market in the APAC Region 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the LBS Market in APAC to grow at a CAGR of 33.2% over the period 2014-2019

One of the emerging trends in the market is the increased adoption of location-based search and advertising. Advertisers use the location of a smartphone user to send targeted advertising campaigns. LBA is a more focused and efficient marketing tool for advertisers, providing an additional revenue source for LBS vendors. The mobile operators use LBA to offer free advertisement-funded navigation that helps them to both promote LBS and incease their profitability.



According to the report, one key factor driving the market growth is increased adoption of location-enabled devices in the APAC region. The popularity of LBS and demand for GPS-enabled handsets have increased significantly in densely populated APAC region countries such as India and China.

Further, the report states that user privacy poses a major challenge to this market. Information about the consumer's location is shared among players in the LBS value chain. While using LBS, consumers knowingly or unknowingly allow companies to create a profile about their personal life. Companies then share the users' information and send them advertisements, deals, and coupons even if they do not want them.
