Consumer Telematics

Automotive Markets and Applications for GPS and Communications Technology



Consumer Telematics OEM and Aftermarket systems are becoming more popular due to the growing awareness of car manufactures, telematics service providers, governments and end users about the benefits of positioning and communications technologies in cars for improved safety, security, efficiency, convenience, infotainment, cost savings and reduced environmental impact. Telematics OEM systems such as General Motors’ OnStar and Ford’s SYNC will soon become standard features in all new passenger cars while dedicated aftermarket telematics solutions for stolen vehicle tracking and insurance applications will also experience strong growth. This study examines the major consumer telematics features, trends, drivers and barriers including a SWOT analysis for each hardware form factor. It also describes the dynamics of the navigation ecosystem and value chain and provides strategic recommendations for the main market players. The study contains forecasts by region for shipments and revenues of OEM and aftermarket systems and services.
