Growing demand for vehicle data monitoring to foster electronic logging device market
The growing need to improve commercial vehicles' operation efficiency is driving the world's electronic logging device market. Electronic logging device (ELD) technology is used in commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses to record driving time, hours of service (HoS), capture data on vehicle engine, movement & miles driven, and driver I.D. By using ELDs in their vehicles, drivers benefit from a reduced fuel cost reduction, increased driver productivity, and vehicle diagnostics in real time.
Moreover, with the advancement in technology, market players have developed a cloud-based ELD that is further easing the market demand. However, unskilled drivers and ELD's high initial cost obstruct market growth. Overall, the global electronic logging device market accounted for US$ 12.04 Bn in 2018 and was estimated to grow with a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.
Market Snapshot
Vehicle Type Segment Analysis
Truck segment to register major share during the forecast period.
Among the vehicle types divided into the truck, bus, and LCV, the truck segment contributes a major share in the market due to the higher number of trucks equipped with ELD devices. However, the lack of skilled drivers and their smooth transition from AOBRDS to ELD is a major concern for the slow adoption rate expected to hamper this segment's growth in the long run. In addition, growth in the global middle-class population and their increasing disposable income are expected to drive the LCV segment towards a significant growth rate during the forecast period.
Moreover, in July 2019, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) denied the request to exempt small carriers from the ELD mandate. This has further added the growth opportunity in the adoption rate in the LCV segment. This has further expected to drive the segment growth during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis
Europe the largest & North America, the fastest market.
On the basis of geography, the global electronic logging device market is further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2018, Europe captured the largest share of the global market. Mandatory ELD installation rule in Europe dates back to 2006, helping the market grow. In addition, digital tachographs were made compulsory in 27 European countries for commercial vehicles. Further, the well-established automotive industry and strict transportation laws are helping the region to capture a major share of the market.
Further, with the passage of the ELD-compliance law by the U.S. federal government, U.S. commercial vehicle drivers must use ELD mandatorily by 16th December 2019. This strict federal government law is driving the high demand for ELD devices in the region. Moreover, major players in the market, such as Donlen, Geotab, Inc., Garmin Ltd., Trimble Inc., and AT&T, are situated in the region. This has further added advantages to growing the region at the fastest rate.
Key Industry Development:
In January 2019, Geotab Inc., a global leader in IoT and connected vehicle transportation, in partnership with Eleos, a SaaS-based transportation software developer company, announced the launch of UNIFY, designed for class 8 fleet transport and logistic applications. This new integrated solution provides customized open fleet management systems and FMCSA- compliant ELD.
In November 2019, Geotab Inc. acquired India, a Spanish engineering firm that specialized in integrated technology for heavy trucks. With this acquisition, Geotab Inc. has strongly entered the market of Europe, and the company is expecting growth in its market share in the region.
Emerging partnership trend is keeping the market competitive.
