Ease in vehicle diagnosis
Advance diagnostic system is expected to boost the growth of the commercial telematics market. In advanced diagnostics, the system in the car will supply data of the vehicle to both the automobile dealer and the customer, which can help predict potential automobile issues before they take place.
In fleet management, it is easy to track vehicle records and decide which vehicle has travelled the most and accordingly offer service with the help of connectivity solutions. The diagnostic service offered is an efficient way to diagnose the status of the vehicles. It allows the consumers to manage the maintenance of their vehicle, thus saving money and time by avoiding unwanted expenses & breakdowns. The system provides a maintenance schedule and timely reminders to the consumer. The diagnostic system keeps a track of the smoke emission and fuel consumption of the vehicles, thereby monitoring its engine health. This service sends a detailed report about the vehicle to the decision maker who decides on the service schedules for the automobile. Thus, ease of vehicle diagnosis with the help mobile applications is expected to fuel the growth of the market.
Threat of data hacking
Telematics is a relatively new technology. Events, such as unauthorized access to multiple car connectivity solutions or breaking into the in-vehicle connectivity system can restrict the commercial telematics market. The major security concern is that the hacker has access to the computer system of the cars as well as to the data that it collects and stores. Thus, hacking threats of vehicle with telematics systems is one of the factors expected to hamper the growth of the market.
High installation cost
The additional costs incurred while providing connectivity in the vehicle is expected to restrict the growth of the commercial telematics market. Providing connectivity solutions in the vehicle incurs additional expenses to the consumers in the form of hardware, connectivity solutions, and telecom service charges. These additional costs bestowed upon the consumer have a significant impact on the commercial telematics market. Thus, high installation cost of commercial telematics systems is expected to hinder the market.
Smart transportation system
The safety services offered in vehicles with telematics solutions are an appropriate example of cutting edge aftermarket technology, which involves sharing data between the vehicle and the humans. Safety is a combination of telecommunication and automobile technology used to improve vehicle efficiency, reduce fuel consumption & maintenance cost, enhance security & safety measures, and assist the driver to enhance his overall driving experience. Features such as live traffic updates, automatic toll transactions, insurance telematics, road-side assistance in case of accidents or breakdowns and smarty routing & tracking will provide an exponential growth opportunity for the key players operating in the commercial telematics market.
Improvement in performance of autonomous vehicle
There are several solutions offered in the market that collect, manage, explore, interpret, and analyze the driving data of a particular driver. Cars with telematics systems generate a huge amount of data every minute, providing an opportunity for superior consumer experience and establishing new business avenues in autonomous driving. In addition, Automotive OEM Telematics Market Share in India is expected to experience a lucrative growth rate.
