Peers in the GIS industry usually spend their days tracking technology releases and tenders. Every now and then, we hear news about a company going public. Has anyone else ever wondered, like I have, exactly which companies in our field are publicly listed? How big is the market‑cap gap between them? Are any of them worth a closer look? Today I’ve lined up some familiar names, grouped into platform software, remote sensing applications, surveying engineering, automotive & location intelligence, plus a few overseas heavyweights — hopefully a useful reference for anyone who needs it.
A note from the editor: The share prices come from public market data and media reports. The rough sizes are mostly calculated by multiplying the stock price by the total number of shares, with RMB figures converted at approximate exchange rates. Many of these companies straddle several sectors; I’ve only focused on the part that is closely tied to geospatial technology. This is purely industry information exchange and should not be taken as investment advice.
