How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.
Research approach
A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.
The market was built upward from the installed base of connected commercial vehicles, the share of that base paying for each telematics function, and the realised annual revenue per connected unit across hardware, subscription and connectivity lines. Unit counts start from commercial vehicle registrations and fleet parc statistics by vehicle class, then apply penetration by installation type and region. Realised prices come from published plan pricing, hardware list prices net of channel discounts, and carrier data bundles. The build was then checked against disclosed revenue of the listed providers, adjusted for the commercial vehicle share of each firm's business. Where the two disagreed, the bottom-up assumption on penetration or revenue per unit was corrected; the disclosed totals were not averaged in.
The four stages
The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.
What the build rests on, and what checks it
The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.
- Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
- Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
- Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
- Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
- Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
- Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form
Data sources
Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.
- Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
- Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
- Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
- Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
- Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
- Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
- Trade association output and standards-body publications
- Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Interviews target fleet operations and procurement heads at carriers, construction and utility fleets, and municipal transport operators; product and partnerships leads at telematics providers and vehicle makers; channel managers at dealers, installers and insurance brokers; and compliance specialists who handle driver hours and emissions reporting. Questions cover installed unit counts, contract length, per-vehicle pricing, churn, hardware replacement cycles and the effect of regulation on purchasing. Sampling emphasises North America, Western Europe and the major Asia Pacific freight economies, with lighter coverage of Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where the data are thinner and conclusions carry wider bands.
Desk research rests on the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration registered electronic logging device list, the European Union smart tachograph rules under Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 and its second-version requirements, and UNECE Regulations 155 and 156 on vehicle cybersecurity and software updates. Fleet parc and registration counts come from national transport ministries, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association and the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. Trade flows for tracking hardware are read from customs data under HS headings 8526 and 8517. Provider revenue comes from annual reports, Form 10-K and 20-F filings, and investor presentations.
Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.
Forecasting
The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.
The forecast projects connected units by vehicle class and installation type, then applies revenue per unit by function and deployment model. Demand shifts include the move from aftermarket devices to factory-fitted connectivity, cloud subscription replacing on-premises licences, and growth in video and safety analytics. Regulatory curves assume current logging and tachograph mandates stay in force and extend to additional vehicle classes. Pricing assumes hardware prices keep falling while per-vehicle software fees rise gradually. The forecast holds if cellular networks keep serving fleets through generation changes, freight volumes avoid a prolonged contraction, and electric commercial vehicle adoption continues on its present path.
Triangulation and validation
No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.
Outputs were back-tested by applying the same unit and price logic to 2020 to 2024 and comparing the implied growth with recorded provider revenue trends and registration data. Segment shifts, such as the rise of factory-fitted systems and the decline of on-premises deployment, were reviewed with industry experts for direction and pace. Sensitivities covered fleet penetration, revenue per vehicle, hardware price decline and the freight cycle. Axis totals were reconciled so every segmentation cut sums to the market in the base year and the final forecast year, and regional totals were reconciled to the global figure.
Confidence and limitations
Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.
The estimate is firmest for fleet and asset tracking, compliance and the North American and European markets, where mandates and provider disclosures give the clearest anchors. It is thinner for insurance telematics, vehicle to everything infrastructure, fuel cell vehicles, satellite and hybrid connectivity, and for Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where adoption is early and reporting is limited. A revision would follow changes in logging or tachograph mandates, a sharp freight downturn, or network sunsets that force hardware replacement. The base year total carries a band wider than the headline suggests.
