Consumer Telematics

Embedded, Hybrid, Portable, and Converged Solutions

Consumer telematics systems are gaining momentum due to the growing awareness about the benefits of positioning and communications technologies in cars for improved safety, security, maintenance, convenience, infotainment, and cost savings. Toyota plans the launch of telematics services in the US and China in 2009, and Ford continues to extend its SYNC service in the US, with introduction in Europe scheduled for 2010. Government regulation is an important driver in Europe, Mexico and Brazil.

This study examines consumer telematics features, trends, drivers and barriers, including a SWOT analysis for each hardware form factor. It describes the telematics ecosystem and value chain and provides strategic recommendations. The study contains forecasts by region for shipments and revenues of embedded and hybrid OEM, aftermarket, portable and converged systems and services.a
