Several new regulations are being introduced around the world to promote circular, sustainable, and responsible economies. The goals of these regulations are clear: businesses should deploy an efficient mechanism to review how they design, source, manufacture, dispose, reuse, and recycle products. Mechanisms often report carbon emitted at each stage to promote clean energy use, and also limit the use of harmful substances, increase the degree of reuse and recycling by material composition tracking, limit materials from certain countries, and ensure human rights obligations and thus, responsible sourcing. To track these metrics, most of these regulations stress the importance of visibility and traceability of products throughout the value chain. The accurate collection and reporting of data mandated by the regulations discussed in this report is impossible without employing digitally transformative technologies that enhance the tracking and traceability of the discussed elements. Intelligent track and trace that combines technologies such as distributed ledger, IoT, AI, and analytics will be essential to automate tracking, making it fast and efficient to trace products throughout their journey. The whole process is made efficient through the adoption of a range of techniques: Product identifiers: the key identifier information that a stakeholder needs to accurately identify a product and to access related information. Data sharing: a common standardised way to share information among all relevant stakeholders. Supply chain traceability: essential to prove provenance and qualifications by tracking the origin of materials and physical flow of goods through the value chain. IoT: all of the above drive the adoption of IoT as it enables accurate and efficient data collection. Digital supply chain twin: to virtually track journeys with change of state. Artificial intelligence: intersects with other technologies for additional insights. In this report, we discuss the major regulations (including the EU’s Batteries Regulation, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and End of Life Vehicles Directive and others and the USA’s Inflation Reduction Act, and various EV battery-related and other regulations from around the world) that are shaping the circular, ethical, and green economy. We also discuss the role technology plays in facilitating the requirements of supply chain transparency related regulations.

- SGP.32
In May 2023 a third variant of the eSIM Remote SIM Provisioning standards from the GSMA was unveiled. The SGP.32 (“IoT”) variant was aimed at resolving some of the limitations of the earlier SGP.02 (“M2M”) and SGP.22 (“Consumer”) versions. The technology is now set and its functioning is relatively clear. The finalisation of the testing and certification processes is due in 2024 and compliant devices can be expected in 2025. While the technology might be well defined, what is not yet clear is what commercial models will prevail to make use of the new technology. In this report we explore the implications for existing models for delivering cellular-based IoT connectivity and what new opportunities might be created. The report considers what role enterprises or OEMs might play, what the opportunity might be for a managed eIM provider, and how each of the major stakeholder groups (MNOs, MVNOs, OEMs, enterprises, eUICC manufacturers, and connectivity abstraction platforms) might take in the new SGP.32 environment.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the eCall market. This segment comprises two sub-applications: ‘eCall Head Unit’ and ‘Dedicated eCall’. eCall or emergency calling has become a common feature in cars following regulatory mandates in the European Union, the Eurasian Economic Union, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and other parts of the world. It is also growing organically in countries that still do not have any regulations because for OEMs this is a very cheap service to provide and it gives them the opportunity to add another product to offer, with limited downside. Many road safety programs focus on reducing the severity of accidents. However, emergency calling programs specifically aim to reduce response times and provide greater information for first responders. eCall can be initiated either manually (by pushing a button) or automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors when a serious vehicle crash occurs. In its early days, eCall used 2G and 3G networks to make calls and transfer data, but this now must be replaced with NG (Next Generation) eCall that uses 4G or 5G cellular networks because older networks are being phased out. NG eCalls will provide higher network availability, better service quality, and will allow transmission of larger amounts of data (that may include health data of occupants or live images of accident scenes in future) to the emergency services. It will also enable the transmission of video in addition to voice and data. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite, and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services. A full set of forecast data, including country-level forecasts, sector break-downs and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Roadside Assistance market. This segment comprises two sub-applications: Roadside Assistance Head Unit and Roadside Assistance Aftermarket. Car breakdowns are a common occurrence on the roads disrupting the traffic flow and causing frustration and inconvenience amongst drivers. There are about 69 million vehicle breakdowns every year in the US, affecting approximately one in every three Americans. Roadside assistance may be required for reasons such as flat tyres, discharged batteries, electrical issues, overheating, mechanical failures related to engine and brakes, and vehicles running out of fuel. One of the significant advantages of IoT in roadside assistance is the capability to deliver diagnostic information (such as engine status, error codes, tyre pressure, fuel level, and others) in near-real time, enabling technicians to arrive at the location with the necessary tools and replacement parts. A significant barrier to the Roadside Assistance market is the increasing popularity of on-demand smartphone applications. They have become a popular mode of summoning roadside assistance for drivers because these do not require any additional hardware installation or integration with the vehicle head unit and can be carried between vehicles. Moreover, smartphones are a cost-effective solution compared to dedicated devices or OEM-provided software for roadside assistance. However, both of these solutions typically provide richer features for roadside assistance as they have access to detailed vehicle diagnostics data that can provide service providers with crucial information before reaching the location. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services. A full set of forecast data, including country-level forecasts, sector break-downs and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Vehicle Diagnostics market. This segment comprises two Applications: Vehicle Diagnostics Head Unit and Vehicle Diagnostics Aftermarket. Vehicle Diagnostics is an important feature that enables manufacturers and vehicle owners to identify faults and issues that may be systemic across their vehicles or fleets at an early stage. The market is dominated by the diagnostics features built into vehicles by the OEMs and accessed and connected via the Vehicle Head Unit. The provision of such services helps OEMs maintain a relationship with their customers and represents an additional service to add to a chargeable connected vehicle offering. The owners benefit from real-time updates on vehicle condition, reduced maintenance cost and servicing time. For the OEMs, it’s also another way of advertising new products, services, and benefits to the existing customers. For instance Mercedes Benz persuades customers to service their cars at authorised car dealerships to avail themselves of benefits in the form of discounts and free diagnosis. Aftermarket devices are usually purchased by vehicle owners or technicians. These devices can be plugged into the OBD-II port and are typically equipped with Short Range technology such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. As vehicles become more complex, fault identification will become increasingly challenging, and diagnostics devices will be increasingly required. Home mechanics will purchase these devices to avoid paying additional fees for vehicle servicing. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the use of IoT in Vehicle Rental, Leasing & Sharing Management. This segment comprises two sub-applications: Vehicle Rental, Leasing & Sharing Management Head Unit and Vehicle Rental, Leasing & Sharing Management Aftermarket. This report focuses on the remote monitoring of vehicles lent to businesses and private individuals by a third party. Third party vehicle owners include rental car companies, vehicle finance providers, or share car schemes. Some of the principal drivers behind the use of remote monitoring solutions are to track vehicle location, enable better estimation of maintenance requirements, and automate logging of vehicle usage. Although historically a market dominated by aftermarket solutions, many automotive OEMs have begun to become a part of the rental, leasing, and sharing ecosystem by offering specialised telematics services to rental and leasing companies. Even so, aftermarket devices are still preferred by rental and leasing companies with a varied fleet of vehicles that are difficult to monitor and manage with a single embedded solution. Vehicle hire companies such as Avis Budget Group, Hertz, and Europcar use integrated aftermarket devices to streamline operations and reduce costs. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services.
