A high-precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver is a device designed to receive signals from satellites. These receivers utilize advanced algorithms and technologies to achieve centimeter-level or even millimeter-level accuracy in positioning.
The main types of products included in high-precision GNSS receivers are core satellite navigation systems, regional satellite navigation systems, and satellite-based augmentation systems (SABS). Core satellite navigation systems refer to the primary satellite-based positioning systems that provide global coverage and accurate positioning services to users worldwide. It includes a variety of components, such as devices and services, which are used in different applications, such as survey and mapping, astronomy, military and defense, agriculture, and others.

The high-precision GNSS receiver market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand in robotics, high use in urban planning requirements, use in scientific research applications, construction industry demand, and increasing use in surveying and mapping applications.
The high-precision GNSS receiver market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for autonomous vehicles, growing usage in marine navigation, increasing demand for environmental monitoring solutions, demand for satellite-based positioning services, regulatory support and integration. Major trends in the forecast period include rise in autonomous vehicles and drones, expansion in precision agriculture, advancements in real-time kinematic (RTK) technology, growing demand for smart infrastructure, and integration with 5G networks.
The growing mining industry is expected to propel the growth of the high-precision GNSS receiver market going forward. The mining industry refers to the sector encompassing activities related to the exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation of valuable minerals, metals, and other geological materials from the earth's crust. The shift towards renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, requires significant amounts of minerals and metals. High-precision GNSS receivers are used in the mining sector to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and productivity by providing accurate positioning and geospatial data for various applications and enabling better decision-making. For instance, in February 2023, according to a report published by the United States Geological Survey, a US-based government agency, US mines generated roughly $98.2 billion in nonfuel mineral commodities in 2022, up $3.6 billion (3.8%) from the projected total of $94.6 billion for 2021. Therefore, the growing mining industry is driving the growth of the high-precision global navigation satellite system receiver market.
Leading companies in the high-precision GNSS receiver market are prioritizing innovative technological developments, like dead reckoning (DR) capabilities, to enhance positioning accuracy, strengthen signal resilience, and support navigation in difficult environments. DR works by calculating position changes through prior location data and movement sensors, providing accurate tracking even when GNSS signals are limited. For example, in September 2024, Quectel Wireless Solutions Co. Ltd., a China-based IoT solutions provider, introduced the QLM29H series GNSS receiver. This dual-band QLM29H model integrates high-precision localization with an embedded antenna, supports both L1 and L5 signals, and is compatible with multiple GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and others). With sensitivity-boosting filters, it integrates smoothly with existing systems and performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, making it highly suitable for use in agriculture and micromobility applications.
In October 2023, CNH Industrial N.V., a UK-based agricultural machinery company, acquired Hemisphere GNSS for $175 million. Through this acquisition, CNH will solidify its position as a leader in precision, automation, and autonomy technology for the agriculture and construction industries. It aimed to accelerate its development efforts, improve its product offerings, and gain a competitive edge in the long run. Hemisphere GNSS is a US-based provider of satellite positioning services. It offers high-precision GNSS receivers and positioning tools.
