Analyst Opinion

One of the fastest growing Internet of Things’ markets has been the Automotive IoT as more manufacturers are entering the race of delivering the first completely autonomous car available for commercial sales. Technology used for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has been developed and introduced to newer vehicles, and governments, such as the EU countries, have been introducing legal framework for mandatory ADAS features to improve road safety.

Vehicle telematics have become widely available and affordable, and the advancements in technology including more sophisticated sensors and advanced analytics tools are fueling the demand. The sensors and analytics tool have especially seen a high adoption in fleet telematics as providing real-time tracking and monitoring of vehicles yields great results in improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.

Connected vehicles are also becoming part of smart cities with systems such as the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and the data communicated helps in improving road safety and reduce congestion. The more vehicles are connected, the better results are.

Methodology

Data coverage

The data encompasses B2B, B2C and B2G revenues. The revenue only refers to the spending share of the Internet of Things components.
