The Fleet Management Market will record the highest growth during the forecast period at 8.8%. The telematics system is used in this segment as a tracking and maintenance tool. GPS devices, navigation systems and diagnostic systems are used in the fleet management telematics. Fleet management solutions are being used to enhance efficiency by reducing the costs, improving reliability and performance. The Insurance Telematics segment will dominate the Consumer Telematics Market in the coming years. This is followed by the Infotainment, navigation, and location based telematics solutions. These segments are expected to generate huge revenues in the future. Media and entertainment and healthcare sectors are also expected to adopt consumer telematics. 

BEV segment is growing at a highest CAGR of 15.5% in the forecast period 2021-2026. Initially, the shorter driving range was one of the major disadvantages of BEVs. However, with advancements in technology, the driving range of BEVs increased significantly. For instance, including all variations of the Nissan LEAF and Tesla Models, the average battery range is 253 miles. BEV sales are also increasing, which is attributed to government incentives to OEMs for increasing electric vehicles in their fleets. Moreover several companies have been investing heavily for the Production of electric vehicles including battery EVs. In 2018, Ford Motor has committed to increase its investments in electric vehicles to $11 billion by 2022. Similarly, Volkswagen has committed to invest $66.3 billion in the next five years in digitization as well as producing more electric vehicles. Hence increase in the production of Electric or Battery Electric vehicles will provide opportunities for automotive telematics in the forecast period 2021-2026. 

APAC is expected to dominate the market with a largest share in forecasted period at 36% in 2020 and the region is estimated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, 2021-2026. The United States is expected to have highest market share of North America vehicle Telematics and is estimated to have substantial growth in forecasted period. Safety Telematics resulted for substantial market share of North America vehicle Telematics market. However infotainment Telematics also play an important role in the market. The demand for commercial vehicles in APAC is rapidly increasing and due to presence of large number of commercial vehicle the Telematics market is also expected to have substantial growth in APAC during the forecasted period. Smart phones and Tablets have become a part of our daily routine, these devices are being integrated with the vehicles in order to transfer the on board information to the smartphones for easy assessment of real-time information. This allows the vehicle owners to monitor the speed-related accidents, control maintenance costs, and decrease fuel bills, etc.

Commercial vehicle such as pick up van, small trucks and other light commercial vehicle are rapidly increasing due to easy commute, for instance rise in logistic industries and e-commerce businesses resulting to increase in production of commercial vehicle which in turn expected to boost the growth of Telematics market. However vehicle manufactures are increasing heavy trucks and containers for construction industries and other which are also driving the commercial vehicle Telematics market. Thus increase in vehicle production will lead to increase in consumption of Telematics and is expected to have substantial growth into the market.

Government initiatives will drive the growth of the consumer telematics market. In Europe and America, for instance, the governments have been offering tax credits for telematics customers in the fleet insurance and management sectors. Advanced technologies will reduce the production costs of telematics products during the forecast period, thereby driving the growth of the telematics industry. The automotive industry has witnessed an increase in the number of unit sales even while recovering from recession. This factor indicates that there will be no dearth of demand for telematics solutions in the near future. The rising number of smartphone users will drive the growth of the commercial telematics market. Government regulations for higher security measures and growing amplified market penetration of smartphones will propel the commercial telematics market.

Due to the COVID-19 impact many organizations have declared work from home but the Transportation and Logistics industries are facing extreme challenges due to emergency and supply chain disruptions. The communication with the drivers as a fleet manager through SMS, mail, radio and phone often becomes challenging. As the fleet managers deals with the drivers out on the road not onsite. Miscommunications is common between fleet managers and their teams. Furthermore, Fuel is the major cost for any organization that runs the fleet. These factors are the major constraints of Fleet Management Software Market.

Product launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the commercial vehicle Telematics market. The commercial vehicle Telematics market is dominated by major companies such CalAmp Corp, Astrata Group (Omnitracs), Masternaut, Descartes, Fleetmatics, Qualcomm, Intel among others.
