Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Material Handling Equipment Telematics Market


The global Material Handling Equipment Telematics market size is projected to reach US$ 8.61 billion by 2026, from US$ 4.43 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 11.7% during 2021-2026. The industry has witnessed significant developments in the past few years. Technological advancements and increased digitalization of material handling equipment have enabled easy tracking of equipment performance.

There has been a growing demand for equipment diagnostics data for predictive analytics by OEMs and a notable rise in government regulations pertaining to equipment safety, enhanced user experience, and improved operational efficiency of the equipment. These trends have been instrumental in leading to increased adoption of telematics in off-highway equipment of late.

Increasing construction activities in emerging economies such as India and China are providing a significant push to the overall market. For instance, the Chinese government announced the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also known as the One Belt One Road (OBOR) in 2013, which is an ambitious project aimed at connecting Chinese overland with the Middle East, Africa, and Europe with the help of highways, railways, ports, and energy projects. Several construction projects under the initiative are likely to create massive demand for construction equipment over the forecast period.

Given that construction equipment telematics accounts for over 50.0% of the total market, promising growth prospects of the construction industry are poised to boost the growth of the overall market. Deployment of telematics solutions in material handling equipment has helped monitor equipment usage trends and ensure safety and security of operators.

Improved equipment performance and innovative features of new product varieties such as driver monitoring, predictive equipment maintenance, fuel management, and fleet analytics have led to cost benefits. These benefits are projected to encourage the adoption of material handling equipment in the near future. The future scope of development of the market will essentially be determined by the need to reduce costs and boost productivity in the highly competitive market. Vehicle OEMs are estimated to capitalize on this growth by installing OEM telematics devices to deliver better results for customers.

However, implementing such advanced connected technology calls for a robust networking infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity and transfer of real-time information. Lack of adequate network infrastructure, especially in developing economies such as India and Brazil, is one of the key factors inhibiting the growth of the off-highway equipment telematics market. Moreover, concerns about cyber-attacks and data-loss can limit the market from realizing its utmost potential.
