Market Driver:

Growing Demand for Vehicle Rental Services

Automotive telematics solutions are widely installed across rental vehicles to track fuel consumption and vehicle location and offer safety to drivers. The rising adoption of the vehicle rental business across the globe is a major driving factor for the growth of the automotive telematics market. As per The Insight Partners, the car rental business of luxury cars was valued at around US$ 29.5 billion in 2022. The car rental market in the US generated US$ 56.3 billion in revenue in 2022, which increased by 9.8% compared to 2021. Such rental businesses have created massive demand for the adoption of telematics solutions around the globe. In car rental, telematics is used for fleet management—mainly for tracking and diagnostics of vehicles. The technology has also enabled car-sharing services, which empower companies to track vehicle usage and bill customers accordingly. Fleet telematics provides a wealth of asset information. With GPS tracking and onboard diagnostic reading capabilities, telematics collects data directly from an asset to provide detailed information about asset usage, driver behavior, fuel consumption, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Such rising adoption of vehicle rental services among end users is driving the growth of the global automotive telematics market.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on the offering, the global automotive telematics market is divided into hardware, software and services. Among these, the hardware segment held the largest share in 2022, owing to rising demand for vehicle tracking devices, logistics, and transportation. The net transportation assets, such as vehicles and equipment, were valued at US$ 10.68 trillion in 2022. The public sector transportation owns a value of ~US$ 5.96 trillion, and the private sector owns nearly US$ 4.71 trillion globally. The value of the transportation assets, infrastructure, and other equipment increased by 6.5% in 2022 compared to 2021. Such increases in the transportation and logistics sector around the globe have created massive demand for the automotive hardware segments in the automotive telematics market.

Regional Analysis:

The automotive telematics market in Canada is growing moderately owing to the rising demand from original vehicle manufacturers. Canada has the presence of five major automotive manufacturers: Ford Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Toyota, General Motors, and Honda. These companies require several automotive telematic devices to manufacture the final vehicle for consumers in Canada. These leading players are expanding their operations and increasing their plants' production capacities to meet the domestic vehicle demand. In November 2020, General Motors planned to invest more than US$ 0.73 billion in Canada to expand its pickup truck manufacturing facilities. These pickup trucks are integrated with GPS tracking devices made by the OEMs. Also, in June 2023, General Motors planned to invest more than US$ 280 million in building heavy-duty commercial IC engine heavy-duty pickup trucks in Toronto, Canada. The increase in investments by OEMs in Canada fuels the growth of the automotive telematics market.
