Market snapshot

These figures describe Geospatial & Location Analytics (1.8.5), the segment that Territory & Market Planning sits within. They are not figures for Territory & Market Planning on its own.

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

No discrete census code. Location analytics is a software-and-data business (site selection, territory planning, spatial BI) classified with technology and data services. It is a different thing from field surveying and mapping (NAICS 541360/541370), a physical-services industry tracked elsewhere; sizing this node on those codes would count surveyors in the oil patch, not the analytics platforms the segment means. That is exactly the map it used to show.
