As an emerging technology, with the rapid development of computer software and hardware technologies and communications technology, GIS is growing mature abroad, widely applied in government affairs, military, commerce, and all aspects of people's lives, and GIS is quickly becoming an increasingly strong industry. At present, the output value of the global GIS industry (including software, hardware, data and services) already exceeds US billion.
　　In parallel with the international GIS industry, China's GIS industry has achieved rapid development; GIS application is deepening in various industries. Remarkable achievements are made in homemade software. However, the GIS industry is still in a primary stage. As the domestic market has been globalized, China's GIS industry has to face the global market, where there is full competition. Therefore, opportunities and risks coexist in China's GIS industry, and "opening and cooperation" will become an inevitable choice in this industry.
　　Along with the leaps and bounds in information technology, especially the introduction of the concept of Digital Earth and the wide spread of various kinds of network applications, the concept of "Earth Village" is coming into being. In recent years, digital city has become one of the hot issues in China's IT application. With GIS at the core, space information technology is the foundation technology for building digital cities. Its convergence with wireless communications, broadband networks and wireless networks will provide multifaceted information services through various channels for urban life and business. The building of digital cities also brings about unprecedented development opportunities for China's GIS industry.
