Opportunity: Increasing applications for cellular IoT modules in vehicle telematics and fleet management

Vehicle telematics to enhance performance and connectivity, which maximizes an organization’s assets, is one of the key emerging use cases for cellular IoT.

According to MarketsandMarkets’ analysis, the telematics solutions market is projected to reach USD 62.6 billion by 2025 from USD 29.9 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 15.9%. Apart from highway vehicles, the trend of implementing telematics solutions in off-highway vehicles is expected to present high growth opportunities for cellular IoT solution providers.

When it comes to off-highway vehicles, such as cranes and excavators, time is considered to be a critical aspect with a limited number of technicians. This necessitates the need for implementing IoT and telematics solutions to monitor both equipment and on-road assets. Therefore, telematics solution providers are implementing cellular IoT modules in their product offerings, which makes it easy for off-highway vehicle OEMs and fleet managers to collect and analyze data to identify heavy equipment usage trends and field-based problems.

Challenge: Development of common protocols and standards across IoT platform

Presently, in the technical market scenario, IoT does not seem to provide a promising architectural solution or a universal standard to solve the interoperability issue. Thus, there is an urgent requirement for making universal standards for cellular IoT to eliminate the interoperability issues.

Any universal standard seeking to encompass such diverse IoT applications would have to be scalable. To achieve this, enterprises, organizations, and developers are required to make efforts to develop a universal standard comprising all diverse IoT applications, devices, platforms, and software, which seems to be difficult to achieve in the next few years.

The requirement for devices would vary depending on their applications, for instance, low power sensors are required for security cameras and streaming video signals. The complexity of developing a unified set of standards is high in the case of IoT; thus, organizations that set standards for wired and wireless IoT connectivity should come together to implement effective solutions.
