by Commercial telematics refers to applications and services that use telecommunications and digital processing technologies to support remote monitoring and management of vehicles, freights, assets, and drivers. Commercial telematics systems involve hardware components such as fleet management systems, onboard computers, dash cams, and GPS devices that relay real-time data to fleet managers. This data includes vehicle location, speed and idling time, route deviations, fuel levels and usage, and driver behaviors like harsh braking, acceleration and safe/risky driving. The global commercial telematics provides valuable insights for fleet owners and managers to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve safety.
The global Commercial Telematics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 54.96 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving the commercial telematics market is rapid adoption of connected cars technologies. Connected cars refer to vehicles equipped with internet access and the ability to transmit data in real-time. These connected cars leverage telematics hardware and software to offer value-added services like navigation, emergency response, diagnostics, software over-the-air updates, and infotainment. As connected cars become more mainstream, they will spur greater deployment of commercial telematics solutions for fleet management. Other key trends include development of 5G networks for vehicle telecommunications which will allow even more real-time data exchange. Additionally, adoption of AI and IoT technologies in telematics is allowing for more predictive and prescriptive analytics.
