Telematics Solution Industry Segment Analysis - By Solution
Navigation systems accounted for 14% of the total Telematics Solution Market Size of components in 2021. Navigation devices in the Telematics Solution Market are used to provide route details for fleets and transport systems. Navigation systems involve transfer of data regarding location and facilitate planning and routing functions using telematics control units. Navigation systems are mostly used alongside GPS devices in vehicles. GPS devices are used in conjunction with navigation systems. To counter the growing smartphone navigation market, many navigation systems manufacturers are shifting to OEM supply and provide support for Tier 1 auto manufacturer. Many OEMs have standardized navigation systems in their vehicles. This has led to a rise in the penetration of navigation systems. Aftermarket sales of navigation systems are however on the decline. This decline can be majorly attributed to the advent of smartphones. Free navigation services are offered on smartphones. As a result, customers are not willing to pay for features which they can obtain for free.
Telematics Solution Industry Segment Analysis – By Geography
North America market accounted for over 38.2% of the total industry share in 2021 and demand of automotive telematics with increase in connected cars with safe and security systems and others boost the demand of this market. Safety and security and infotainment systems are a big part of this market. The major companies operating in this market include automotive OEMs GM, Ford and Toyota, telematics service providers Garmin, TomTom NV, Fleetmatics, Telogis, Trimble and Navman. The factors such as reduction in the cost of connectivity and increasing market penetration of connected devices such as smartphones, and tablets are contributing to the burgeoning demand for connected cars. In most of the cases, data analytics companies, automotive OEMs, and telematics solution providers are forging meaningful synergies to collaboratively create newer solutions. Moreover, the advent of driverless vehicles has also created massive demand for vehicle telematics. For instance, Uber which sees its future in driverless cars recently introduced advanced telematics solution for drivers. It is expected to help drivers predict and prevent accidents while tracking vehicle performance on a real-time basis.
Telematics Solution Market Drivers
Recovery of Automobile Market increases potential user base
The key driver is, however, the recovering automotive market. Automotive industry is exhibiting positive gains recovering from recession, with increase in the number of unit sales. This creates a bigger potential market for telematics products and services. Automotive sales slowed down in major markets globally in 2017-2020 period. However, the market has witnessed growth in 2021 and this trend is estimated to continue in the next few years due to improving economic conditions in the U.S and Europe. Commercial automotive sales are also rising steadily particularly in the APAC market. Commercial automotive sales are set to grow from 22.1 million units in 2012 to 26.3 million units by 2021. New commercial vehicles models in Europe are offering inbuilt telematics functions such as emergency notification and car diagnostics due to changing governmental regulations. The increased customer demand has also led to increased sales of optional telematics services offered by automakers including UBI and GPS navigation. Taxis, buses and other commercial vehicles have started being sold with inbuilt navigational devices. The increased number of vehicle sales will provide a bigger potential market for sales of telematics devices and services.
Growth of Fleet management market set to propel the commercial Telematics Solution Market
The growing demand for operational efficiencies in the industry is set to drive adoption of fleet management telematics. Companies have in recent years shifted focus from reducing operational cost to improving operational efficiency as a method to improve their profitability. This has led to increased installation of fleet management telematics in logistics and fleet management companies. Companies are also looking to fleet management services to monitor driver behavior in order to improve the efficiency of this aspect. Traditionally, truck driver monitoring included factors such as speed and vehicle location; however, with the advent of telematics monitoring has become more intrusive with features such as speed, braking and cornering techniques as well as route times, hours of service and fuel monitoring data. This has led to increased utilization by companies looking to improve the efficiency of their delivery services. Companies have raised concerns about their fleet’s environmental impact.
