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 IoT market for Loss Prevention, predominantly in retail. This segment comprises two applications: Boundary Control and Goods Location Monitoring. Essentially, Boundary Control solutions include hard tags, ceiling-mounted and pedestal systems, detachers, deactivators, and labels. Goods Location Control include the use of GPS trackers generally hidden inside high-value goods. Brick-and-mortar businesses are facing a challenge to deter theft and protect them from financial losses. In 2021, US retailers witnessed USD95 billion worth of financial losses due to retail theft. Retailers are increasingly adopting multiple technologies and security solutions to protect their goods from internal and external theft. The use of Boundary Control and Goods Location Monitoring is essentially employed as a part of retail loss prevention strategies. Businesses implement tags, labels, and GPS trackers to mitigate theft. Also, businesses gain better inventory visibility throughout their supply chains. This can help in identifying out-of-stock goods in retail outlets, which can impact stores’ revenue. 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.

For decades, satellites have been used to support a relatively limited set of use cases in IoT, specifically the monitoring of high value and highly remote assets. That satellite IoT market is set for a shot-in-the-arm in the coming decade as a result of two recent developments: the proliferation of LEO satellites and the arrival of cellular connectivity using ‘Non-Terrestrial Networks’. Companies are lining up to launch fleets of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The most eye-catching – and biggest – of these is SpaceX’s Starlink which has plans for over 40,000 satellites by 2027. But it is not alone. There are also smaller fleets focused on IoT, typically involving a few dozen satellites deployed by other newcomers. With a little over 3,000 active satellites currently in orbit, these massive deployments promise a vast increase in satellite capacity. In some cases, these LEO deployments are making use of standards-based cellular technology developed as part of the recent 3GPP Release 17. So too are some geostationary (GEO) satellites. The arrival of this Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) capability allows devices using some cellular technologies to connect directly to satellites without incorporating any other technology. They are also increasingly being integrated into combined offering of terrestrial and non-terrestrial cellular offerings. This creates an opportunity for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and IoT MVNOs to further stitch satellite into their proposition. Many already do, through multi-mode cellular/satellite devices. The new technology developments, with a common set of hardware and comparatively simple switch-over between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, allow for a simpler and cheaper proposition. This comes at a time when MNOs are looking for differentiators for their IoT offerings, and additional value-added services to layer onto cellular connectivity. Satellite offers an opportunity to do that. Specifically in the form of hybrid cellular/satellite propositions. In this report we examine the opportunities associated with specifically hybrid cellular/satellite offerings using 3GPP NTN.

How effective are IoT Marketplaces as a channel to market for IoT vendors?
- Internet of Things
- IoT
- marketplaces
Over the years there have been quite a few attempts at building ‘IoT marketplaces’, often using the (largely inappropriate) analogy of an app store. The aim has been to create an environment where potential buyers can pick from a portfolio – ranging from highly curated to very broad – of vendor offerings from individual components all the way to end-to-end managed services. These attempts have been mostly not particularly successful. The IoT marketplace has certainly not come to be recognised as the main mechanism through which enterprise customers procure IoT. However, IoT marketplaces persist and new versions are being deployed. In this scenario we think it is worth revisiting this part of IoT to see if there is really an opportunity for IoT vendors to reach new customers. In this report we explore examples of IoT marketplaces that are available today from hyperscalers, ERP/CRM vendors, systems integrators, resellers, distributors, MNOs/MVNOs and others. Based on this analysis, and examining other analogous elements of IoT, the report provides some conclusions about the dynamics of this part of the IoT space and what seems to be working (and not working). It goes on to consider what characteristics might be required of an IoT marketplace to make it a success. For IoT hardware the ‘marketplace’ in the form of distributors is a key part of the landscape. For solutions (and even other IoT elements such as connectivity and platforms) much less so. Partly this is because of the transactional nature of the hardware domain, partly because of the completeness of the offering, and partly because of the personas involved in making the different purchases. Connectivity could be ripe for presentation in a marketplace, but providers seem reticent to do so. Solutions are best presented in the context of a wider IT marketplace sitting alongside other tools equally applicable to the requirements of the vertical to which they’re targeted.

Harnessing ‘sales intelligence’ is a critical tool for technology vendors to better understand complex markets
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- complexity
- digital transformation
- sales intelligence
- marketing
Technology markets, like AI or IoT, and those involving digital transformation initiatives, are complex and constantly evolving. Maintaining a deep understanding of those markets via ongoing customer feedback is critical to organizations, yet increasingly challenging to do. Customers, which would have been able to provide the ultimate insider information, often aren’t interested in offering rich market insights. Third-party sources pulling data from customers and markets are helpful, but such data is static; its value is diminishing as contexts rapidly change. The capacity of data to offer robust insights into customers’ changing ultimately requires ‘boots on the ground’ i.e., human analysis and interpretation. An alternative rich – and often untapped – source of market intelligence exists in the form of an organization’s salespeople. Technical marketing teams seeking to gather ongoing feedback from markets should convert tacit sales ‘story’ data into organizational knowledge. This report describes the central importance of using this knowledge-to-value creation process to extract valuable insights from a company’s internal sales force in order to make sense (‘sensemaking’) of complex markets. It also offers the practical steps and tools for doing so.
