'Verizon Connect', 'Geotab Inc.', 'Trimble Inc.', 'Continental AG', 'Robert Bosch GmbH', 'Harman International (Samsung)', 'TomTom N.V.', 'AT&T Inc.', 'Octo Telematics', 'MiX Telematics', 'Intel Corporation (Mobileye)', 'CalAmp Corp.', 'Teletrac Navman', 'Vodafone Automotive', 'Samsara Inc.'

The usage of telematics is getting highly driven through government mandates; the most cited one being European eCall, which requires every automobile to come equipped with an emergency response system. The industry globally continues to move forward with further rules requiring connectivity for various safety features, vehicle monitoring, and other applications. It makes OEMs implement telematics systems in their cars for compliant and safe use.

Integration of AI and IoT: Telematics revolutionizes business through the integration of AI and IoT technology. AI-powered telematics offers the advantages of predictive maintenance, optimized routes, advanced safety features including accident prevention and driver behavior analysis. IoT-enabled devices have been introduced to efficiently support the communication of devices between cars and infrastructure, thereby allowing augmented system efficiency and pushing the industry forward.

North America led the passenger vehicle telematics industry in 2024 with around 35% of market share. In the region, the automotive sector has been always on the fore in terms of technology and therefore encouraged innovation into telematics solutions. As a result of this, both the U.S. and Canada witnessed the advent of telematics much before the other nations. Government regulation in the safety features of the vehicles, which includes airbags, anti-lock brakes, and lately, ADAS, also pushes the need for telematics. Moreover, the fact that there is a huge population of passenger cars in the region increases the need for telematics solutions for optimization of operation, cost, and efficiency improvement.
