Strategy Analytics ranks HERE No. 1 for location data and services

HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, has been recognized as the top ranked location platform by industry analysts at Strategy Analytics. The annual benchmarking report of the world’s largest location companies ranks HERE, Google, Mapbox and TomTom across seven categories.

Strategy Analytics ranks HERE in this year’s report as the leader in map-making, automotive and industry growth vision. HERE is also a co-leader in non-automotive and within the developer community.

Nitesh Patel, Director, Strategy Analytics, commented: “As various industries undergo digitization projects, the role of location intelligence is becoming more critical. We see the demand for industrial-grade, highly accurate maps increase as enterprises look to draw insights that improve efficiency and business performance. Map making is complex and requires significant investment and expertise in acquiring, extracting, and orchestrating flows of different datasets and content at scale. HERE remains the leader in map-making, automotive and industry growth vision.

HERE’s platform approach maintained its momentum with strong non-automotive growth across its target sectors, e.g. transport and logistics. The key pillars of HERE’s growth strategy remain partnerships, an open, multi-platform approach, industry vision and innovation.”

HERE at center of automotive shift to electric, connected and automated driving
Strategy Analytics points to the strong position of HERE as a trusted partner for customers across the automotive industry. The analyst firm expects demand for automotive-grade location services to increase with the penetration of embedded navigation in mass market vehicles, growth in the ownership of electrified vehicles, mandates for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including the upcoming European Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) regulation, and the emergence of automated driving capabilities.

Strategy Analytics notes the HERE HD Live Map is integrated into the Mercedes-Benz DRIVE Pilot System, the first commercially available SAE Level-3 capable autonomous vehicles in the world.

Edzard Overbeek, CEO of HERE Technologies, said: “The HERE team is proud to be recognized for its ongoing work in building a truly global location platform. Our customers continually rely on the quality of HERE enterprise-grade location data and software to help power their day-to-day operations. The demand for location-based services has only increased quarter over quarter both in value and return.
