Fleet Telematics Systems in the US industry analysis

The Fleet Telematics Systems industry has expanded rapidly through the end of 2023. Operators manufacture devices and develop service software to track the location and characteristics of fleet vehicles. Industry revenue is reliant upon demand from truck transportation, the industry's key downstream market, in addition to trade flows and the taxi and limousine industry. Although volatile fuel prices often distort industry revenue for the transportation sector, revenue is only affected if the industry's key markets encounter reduced revenue due to significantly deficient demand. This was the case amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to much lower economic activity in the US and overseas, including reduced demand for truck transportation and taxi & limousine services. Nonetheless, demand will regain momentum amid the recovering economy. Fleet Telematics Systems industry revenue has been surging at a CAGR of 5.0% over the past five years and is expected to total $8.3 billion in 2023, when revenue will jump by an estimated 0.7%. Profit will increase amid falling purchase fees.

Trends and Insights

  • The surge of mobile device usage provides the industry with a booming market. Rapidly improving software capabilities have led to greater telematics system use on mobile devices instead of installed vehicle hardware.
  • Fleet telematics systems for local trucking remain the industry’s largest product segment. Producing software for mobile platforms also accounts for a significant portion of demand.
  • Fleet telematics systems manufacturers choose to locate themselves near suppliers, making the West a popular choice to set up establishments. Manufacturers can quickly and conveniently acquire raw materials while also having access to highly skilled labor.
  • Competitive pricing is key to attracting downstream customers in a relatively low-margin industry. Fleet telematics systems manufacturers must be able to deliver a range of high-quality products and services.
