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.

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.

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.

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.
