Automotive telematics systems help fleet operators enhance profit pools by optimizing operating costs, maintenance expenses, and fuel consumption. Fleet telematics helps operators and drivers to enhance asset efficiency by preventing breakdowns using the vehicle’s diagnostics.
The mobility sector benefits immensely from automotive telematics solutions, as it enables mobility operators to monitor vehicle movements remotely and generate to improve the operating margins and vehicle efficiency. The vehicle data is obtained through automotive telematics for route optimization, predictive maintenance, driver safety, and reduce engine idling.
Fuel consumption of the vehicles reduces substantially by decreasing the engine’s idling with the help of data about harsh braking and rapid accelerations. This data availed through automotive telematics helps in enhancing consumer experience and profitability through connectivity and data-driven decision-making.
Constant innovations in vehicle connectivity are taking place to provide operational benefits to insurance providers and fleet operators. Chipmaker Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, which is compatible with the 5G networks and enhances the efficiency of 5G for reliable, secure, and seamless vehicle connectivity. Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF systems are expected to enable the vehicle connectivity systems to access the full potential of the 5G networks seamlessly to perform critical automotive functions.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hampered several enterprises. Nationwide factory shutdowns and shortage of automotive conductor chips throughout the automotive supply chain affected the market during the pandemic. The global economy was on a downward trajectory during the pandemic, affecting consumer sentiment and purchase power. This development affected car sales adversely.
Rising awareness among users about vehicle safety, reducing fuel consumption, and preventive maintenance of vehicles for enhanced user experience are expected to drive the market. Vehicle safety and connectivity are interconnected. Integrated smartphone features in the vehicles help drivers with satellite navigation, accident alerts, and autonomous driving assistance with the help of sensors and radar-based telematics systems.
Growing adoption of automotive telematics systems by fleet operators and insurance companies is anticipated to drive the market. The vehicle data captured by fleet operators traveling distance, the number of trips, and driver behavior help in the optimization in fleet management costs. The insurance companies provide usage-based insurance to vehicle owners based on vehicle data with the help of insurance telematics.
Data theft, interoperability concerns, and high installation cost are likely to hinder the market. Vehicle data is vulnerable, as it is transmitted over telecom networks and stored in data centers. The threat of data theft is high, as the data is transmitted through multiple mediums. Automotive telematics work on various platforms with different sets of protocols and technologies. The data exchange between various networks and platforms is a concern for the operators.
Technological advancements such as 5G connectivity and AI integration in automotive telematics are expected to create multiple opportunities in the market. AI in telematics offer services for various applications including virtual assistance, driver monitoring, speech monitoring, gesture recognition, eye tracking, radar-based detection units, engine control units, and enhanced HMI.
