7月30日消息，赛迪顾问近日发布了GIS软件市场报告，赛迪顾问软件与信息服务产业研究中心咨询师王强表示，2008年中国GIS软件产业已经成功发展为一个年产值50多亿的软件产业分支。

GIS 是地理信息系统（ Geographic Information System的简称 GIS ），GIS是获取、整理、分析和管理地理空间数据的重要工具、技术和学科。随着中国信息化建设的日益深入及空间信息技术的飞速发展，各行业信息化建设对空间地理信息数据需求快速增长，GIS软件被广泛应用于传统资源管理和国民经济及政府应用领域，并逐步在商业领域和个人位置服务领域发挥着愈来愈重要的作用。GIS软件正成为软件行业值得期待的细分领域和重要的增长点之一。

GIS市场蓬勃发展

近十多年来，中国GIS软件产业从无到有，由弱变强，从实验室研究到产业化应用推广，经历了一个快速发展期。到2008年，中国GIS软件产业已经成功发展为一个年产值50多亿的软件产业分支。

在服务领域方面，GIS软件已被广泛应用于测绘、国土、环境、水利、农业、林业和矿产等传统资源管理和城市规划、应急、公安、交通、旅游、工商、卫生和统计等国民经济的重要政府应用领域，并逐步在通信、电力、石油石化、银行、保险、煤矿、物流、烟草、广告、大型制造业、大型零售企业等工商领域和个人位置服务领域发挥着日益重要的作用。

此外，GIS技术作为一门地理学、地图学和测量学等传统学科和遥感技术、计算机科学等现代科学技术相结合的学科，其产业发展也带动了测绘、计算机硬件等相关产业百亿左右的市场。

技术的广泛应用和GIS产业链自身的成熟，推动了中国GIS软件市场快速增长，2008年实现销售额52.46亿元，同比增长20.8%，高于软件整体市场16%的增长率。

三类GIS厂商构筑成熟产业链

目前，中国已经形成了从大型基础平台软件，各类针对行业的GIS应用软件产品，到从事GIS软件和应用开发的庞大企业群体，数量超过了千余家。中国自主研发的GIS基础平台软件，在功能和性能上已经接近国际先进水平，某些性能指标甚至优于国外优秀软件。国产GIS软件厂商无论是市场竞争力、用户规模、技术创新能力以及融合应用能力都已经上升到能够与国外厂商同台竞技的水平。根据赛迪顾问对中国GIS软件市场的研究，在GIS产业链上，主要有三类GIS厂商。

第一类是从事GIS工程项目技术服务类厂商，它们多为中小型ISV。虽然清华同方、神州数码、东软等大型SI也在其解决方案中包含部分GIS内容，但市场份额极为分散，大大小小有数千家竞争者参与其中。

第二类是GIS基础平台软件，它作为支撑性平台软件，具有承上启下的枢纽作用，有非常强的产业拉动性。向下可以带动操作系统、数据库和中间件等各类基础软件的应用发展，向上可以支撑电子政务、公共服务、移动应用等城市信息化建设的发展。因此，GIS基础平台软件是整个产业的核心部分，也是自主知识产权最具有核心竞争力的方面。GIS基础平台软件市场较为集中，前5家提供商占据了整体市场份额的75%以上。长期以来，ESRI等国外厂商一直占据基础平台市场的领先地位。而近年来，国内软件厂商异军突起，在不断增强研发实力和大力开拓国内外市场的努力下，占据了40％以上的市场份额。其中北京超图、武汉中地等两家国内GIS软件厂商凭借对本土客户的更深入理解和多年的研发积累以及成功的市场营销策略，其产品迅速获得了用户的认可，占据了国内市场份额第二和第三的位置。

第三类是应用平台软件，大部分GIS应用系统都采用“GIS基础平台＋定制开发”的方式进行建设，随着各个行业信息化建设的深入和应用的成熟，以武汉中地、北京超图、中兴通讯、保定金迪、创联、中兴通讯、凯普奇等为代表的技术服务提供商结合行业的应用特点，将行业的一些共性需求集成于基础平台之上，开发了一类中间型GIS应用平台软件产品，大大提高了GIS技术在行业中的规模化推广和建设效率。鉴于各个国家的行业应用差异较大，国外成熟的GIS应用平台软件很难在中国推广，因此这一部分有望成为未来GIS产业中增长最快的一个细分领域。

展望未来增势喜人

国家政策层面，从“九五”科技攻关计划、《关于进一步推动地理信息系统应用及其产业化的若干意见》到“十五”、“863”提出面向网络的海量大型地理信息系统软件计划、国产GIS软件示范应用工程、国家地理信息数据库建设等，国家的大力推动对中国地理信息系统产业的形成和发展起了十分重要的作用。“十一五”期间，国家对地理信息系统保持了高度的重视，一些地方政府如浙江省还下发了《关于在“十一五”规划中加强地理信息系统技术应用的通知》，大力推动地市政府利用地理信息系统技术，科学分析空间布局，将经济社会发展与人口、资源、环境等在具体地域上统筹协调起来，实现“规划落地，空间协调”。

国务院从2000年出台《鼓励软件产业和集成电路产业发展若干政策》到2002年发布《振兴软件产业行动纲要》等政策，为GIS软件产业的发展注入了发展动力。特别是国际金融危机爆发以来，国家4万亿的投资拉动和大型基础设施建设项目的上马，数字城市的建设、自然资源和地理空间基础信息库建设、国家系列“金”字头信息化项目等将成为2009年GIS软件市场增长的重要驱动力量。

人才方面，从1988年第一个GIS本科专业在武汉招生、1989年第一本《地理信息系统概论》教材出版，到2008年，已有超过500所高校设立了与GIS相关的专业和课程；有北京大学等17个博士点学校；中国地质大学等超过60家硕士点，GIS教育工作的极大进展大大满足了产业发展亟需的人才供给，为GIS产业提供了重要的人力资源保证。

进入2009年，虽然受到国际金融危机影响，用户信息化投入有所下滑，但在国家宏观政策支持、重大项目建设、人才储备丰富、用户主动需求逐步释放等利好消息的大背景下，中国GIS软件未来3年仍将保持较快的增长势头。赛迪顾问根据对中国GIS软件市场的多年研究监测，利用多元回归分析和时间序列预测数学模型对未来3年的市场发展做出科学预测显示，中国GIS软件未来3年将继续保持快速增长，到2011年，市场规模将达到91.7亿元，成为我国软件产业领域中不可忽视的一支重要力量。

News July 30, CCID Consulting recently released a report on GIS software market, CCID Consulting Software and Information Service Industry Research Center consultant, said Wang Qiang, China, in 2008 the success of GIS software industry has developed into an annual production value of more than 50 million branch of the software industry.

GIS is a geographic information system (Geographic Information System referred to as the GIS), GIS is the acquisition, collation, analysis and management of geospatial data an important tool, technology and disciplines. With China's growing information technology and spatial depth of the rapid development of information technology, the various sectors of the construction of information space of GIS data needs of rapid growth, GIS software is widely used in traditional resource management and the national economy and government applications, and gradually in commercial areas and areas of personal location-based services are playing an increasingly important role. GIS software is becoming the software industry should be looking forward to the sub-areas and one of the important growth point.

GIS market booming

Over the past decade, China's GIS software industry from scratch, from weak to strong, from laboratory research to the promotion of industrial applications, has undergone a rapid development period. By 2008, China's GIS software industry has successfully developed into an annual production value of more than 50 million branch of the software industry.

In the service areas, GIS software has been widely used in mapping, land, environment, water conservancy, agriculture, forestry and mining and other traditional resource management and urban planning, emergency response, public security, transportation, tourism, industry and commerce, health and national economic statistics important areas of government applications, and step by step in the communications, electricity, petroleum and petrochemicals, banking, insurance, coal mining, logistics, tobacco, advertising, large-scale manufacturing, large-scale retail enterprises and individual industrial and commercial fields, such as location-based services play an increasingly important role.

A wide range of technology applications and GIS itself a mature industry chain and promote China's rapid growth of GIS software market in 2008 achieved sales of 5.246 billion yuan, up 20.8 percent, higher than the overall software market growth rate of 16%.

Three types of GIS vendors to build a mature industry chain

At present, China has formed a large-scale basic platform software, the GIS industry for all types of application software products, to engage in GIS software and application development of large enterprise groups, the number of more than千余家. China's self-developed GIS platform software in functionality and performance has been close to international advanced level of performance even better than some foreign software. China-made GIS software vendors, whether the market competitive, user scale and technological innovation capability, and integration capabilities have been increased to the same stage with the level of foreign manufacturers. According to CCID Consulting on China's GIS software, market research, in the GIS industry chain, manufacturers are mainly three types of GIS.

The first project is to engage in GIS technology services companies, which are mostly small and medium-sized ISV. Although Tongfang, Digital China, Neusoft and other large SI solutions are also included in its part of GIS, but highly fragmented market share, competitors large and small, there are thousands of them.

The second category is based on GIS platform software, which support the platform as a software hub for connecting with the role, there is a very strong pull of the industry. Can drive down operating system, database and middleware software such as application development, and upward to support e-government, public services, mobile applications, such as the construction of city informatization development. Therefore, GIS software is the basic platform of the core of the whole industry, their own intellectual property rights is the core of most of the aspects of competitiveness. GIS platform software market is more concentrated, the former five providers accounted for the overall market share above 75%. A long period of time, ESRI has been dominated by foreign manufacturers, such as the basic platform of the leading position in the market. In recent years, domestic software companies rise, in the growing efforts to develop R & D strength and the efforts of domestic and foreign markets, accounting for more than 40% market share. Hypergraph in Beijing, Wuhan, such as in the two domestic manufacturers by virtue of GIS software for local customers and the more in-depth understanding of the accumulation of years of research and development and successful marketing strategy, its products quickly recognized by users, and it dominated the domestic market share of the first Second and third place.

The third category is the application platform software, most GIS applications are the use of "GIS platform + custom development" approach to building, with all sectors of the construction of in-depth information and applications mature, to Wuhan, China, the Beijing-chao chart, ZTE, Baoding Jin Di, a record together, ZTE,凯普奇such as technical service providers on behalf of the industry combined with the application of the characteristics of some of the industry demand for integrated on the basis of common platform, the development of a class of intermediate GIS-based application platform software products, greatly improving the GIS technology in the industry and the construction of large-scale promotion of efficiency. In view of the application of various countries, different industries, foreign mature GIS application platform software, it is very difficult to promote in China, so this part of the future of GIS is expected to become the fastest growing industries in the area of a subdivision.

Looking to the future growth gratifying

National policy level, from the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological plans, "With regard to further promote the application of geographic information systems and industrialization of a number of opinions" to "15", "863" mass-oriented large-scale network of geographic information system software program domestic application of GIS software demonstration project, the National Geographic Information Database building, the country's efforts to promote China's Geographic Information System for the formation and development of industries has played a very important role. "Eleventh Five-Year" period, the state's Geographic Information System to maintain a high degree of attention, some local governments such as Zhejiang Province, also issued a "Circular on the" Eleventh Five-Year Plan "to strengthen the application of GIS technology," which promote to the municipal government made use of GIS technology, scientific analysis of spatial distribution, economic and social development and population, resources, and environment in specific geographical co-ordination to achieve the "floor planning, space co-ordination."

Since 2000 the State Council issued "to encourage the software industry and IC industry development a number of policy" to release in 2002, "Platform for Action, the revitalization of the software industry" and other policies to the development of GIS software industry has given impetus to the development. In particular the international financial crisis, the country's investment drive 4000000000000 and large-scale infrastructure projects for implementation, the number of city-building, natural resources and geo-spatial information database based on the construction of the national series "Kim" prefix, such as information technology projects GIS will become the software market in 2009 an important driving force for growth.

Talents, from 1988 the first professional GIS undergraduate students in Wuhan, in 1989 the first "Introduction to Geographic Information Systems" textbook published in 2008, more than 500 colleges and universities have been established with the GIS professional and curriculum; have Peking University, such as 17 doctoral schools; China University of Geosciences, such as more than 60 master points, GIS education in a great deal of progress to meet the industrial development of much needed talent supply for the GIS industry has provided an important guarantee of human resources.

Entered in 2009, although by the international financial crisis, the user input information has been declining, but at the national macro-policy support for the construction of major projects, a rich talent pool, the user gradually take the initiative to demand the release of good news such as the background, China's GIS software the next 3 years will continue to maintain a rapid growth momentum. CCID Consulting, based on GIS software market in China many years of research to monitor the use of multiple regression analysis and time series prediction mathematical model for the future development of the market 3 years to make scientific forecasts indicate that China's GIS software, the next 3 years will continue to maintain rapid growth, to in 2011, the market will reach 9.17 billion yuan, becoming the field of China's software industry can not be ignored as an important force.
