Despite its growth potential, the GNSS market faces several constraints, with one of the major challenges being the vulnerability to signal degradation and jamming. GNSS signals can be disrupted by various factors, including natural obstructions, atmospheric conditions, and deliberate interference, which can compromise positioning accuracy and reliability. This susceptibility undermines user confidence and presents challenges for industries that require high precision, such as aviation and autonomous transportation. Consequently, addressing these vulnerabilities through improved technologies and backup systems remains a critical challenge for the GNSS market.

Another notable restraint in the GNSS market is the regulatory and geopolitical issues surrounding satellite operations. As GNSS technology involves multiple countries and systems, compliance with international regulations and coordination among different nations can pose complications. Additionally, geopolitical tensions may affect the availability and accessibility of GNSS signals in certain regions, creating uncertainty for users and potential disruptions to service. This regulatory complexity can hinder market growth as stakeholders navigate the confluence of technological advancement and policy implications.
