Commercial Telematics Subscriptions in the Middle East and Africa to Reach 4 Million by 2020, Says ABI Research
Business Wire - Fri Apr 10, 9:18AM CDT
According to ABI Research, commercial telematics subscriptions in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region will grow from 1.82 million in 2015 to 4 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 17%. "With interest of fleet management suppliers in BRIC countries waning due to regulatory, cultural, or economic challenges, the Middle East and Africa is coming into focus as an alternative region for expansion. With economic growth fueled by human and natural resources in Africa and the oil and gas industry in the Middle East, opportunities exist to offer fleet management and asset tracking technologies in an increasing number of segments including people and goods transportation, construction, mining, and utilities," says VP and Practice Director Dominique Bonte.

2015 Outlook of the Global Connected Car Market
M2 - Fri Mar 27, 9:05AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qm8d2s/2015_outlook_of) has announced the addition of the "2015 Outlook of the Global Connected Car Market" report to their offering. This research service focuses on various technologies related to connected cars such as human-machine interface (HMI) and telematics that are likely to enter the market by 2015. The study discusses various technological advancements that are occurring in North America, Europe, China, and Brazil and provides forecast and penetration rates for these technologies. In addition, key technology trends are analyzed for the various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). As the connected car market evolves, so, too will OEMs' business models. Apple Carplay and Google Android Auto will provide the much needed consolidation on the brought-in smartphone solution side; developer interest, ease of implementation, and customer appeal are the pros to their entrance. Industry pushed solutions such as MirrorLink will have limited appeal in select markets. Vendors, such as Nokia HERE, are improving the on-board experience by integrating the cloud with a complete suite of connected services, which is necessary to improve the performance of embedded navigation systems. Google, Nokia HERE, and TomTom are all examples of participants in this domain. Efforts by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to use the telematics/connected platform as a way to understand driving behavior and vehicle performance behavior will increase the role of Big Data analytics. An entire suite of aftermarket on-board diagnostics (OBDII) solutions opened up in the US market in 2013, focusing on providing diagnostics, maintenance-related solutions, and insurance benefits. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Research Scope 3. Connected Car- Product and Technology Trends 4. HMI Market and Technology Trends 5. Voice of the Customer Analysis 6. Conclusions and Future Outlook 7.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xbttn3/global_fleet) has announced the addition of the "Global Fleet Management Systems Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Fleet Management System market to grow at a CAGR of 26.23% over the period 2014-2019 The report, Global Fleet Management System Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Fleet Management Systems market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The growing popularity of green fleet management solutions is an emerging trend in the market. Stringent regulations in western countries are ensuring the impact of the business on the environment is minimal and organizations are also conscious of their own public image as an environmentally friendly company. According to the report, the growing need among fleet operators to increase operational productivity is a key driver that is expected to boost the market growth in the next five years. Fleet operators suffer major cash crunches due to uncertain global economic scenario and to mitigate the effects of this macroeconomic downturn, they employ strategies so as to limit costs and maximize productivity. Further, the report states that the high set-up costs incurred by fleet operators when incorporating fleet management systems is a major challenge. The capital expenditure incurred in acquiring telematics hardware and connectivity technologies and integrated software solutions is high, which makes it difficult for operators to invest in hi-tech fleet management systems. The Global Fleet Management System market can be divided into three segments based on the type of technology: Commercial Telematics Hardware, Software Components, and Connectivity Technologies. The major end-users of fleet management systems are specialist logistics companies in the Taxi Fleet Operator and Truck Fleet Operator sectors.
