Connected cars ‘to represent 20% of the global car market by 2019’

Hi-tech analysts Juniper Research are forecasting that the telematics sector will continue to outperform all other M2M markets over the next five years, in revenue terms, with one in five passenger vehicles connected globally by 2019.

Hi-tech analysts 7194 Juniper Research are forecasting that the telematics sector will continue to outperform all other M2M markets over the next five years, in revenue terms, with one in five passenger vehicles connected globally by 2019.

Smartphone-based models have become the key disruptor for M2M, as healthcare, consumer electronics and retail continue to evolve. Juniper Research forecasts that the M2M sector will generate service revenues of over $40 billion globally by 2019 - doubling the size of today's market.

The new research, M2M & Embedded Devices: Strategic Analysis & Vertical Market Forecasts 2015-2019, found that the roll-out of smart metering initiatives will see rapid up-take over the next six years, driven in part by governments' ambitions to increase efficiency.

According to research author Anthony Cox, "Both India and China are expected to see rapid adoption of smart metering as new metering infrastructure is installed and smart cities are created."

The utility sector however is not expected to generate similar revenues to that of the connected automotive sector.

Agriculture and environmental applications are starting to emerge as important new sectors in the M2M market, with applications as diverse as wild-life and farm animal monitoring, and increasing productivity through precise field mapping. M&A is also beginning to bring together some of the industry's most powerful players, such as the merger of 5094 KORE Telematics and Raco Wireless, and the acquisition by 6787 Huawei of the M2M technology start-up Neul.

Other key findings include: The US remains the leading geographical region for M2M, ahead of Western Europe. China is becoming increasingly important as initiatives by the Country's major carriers begin to take shape; Implementation of big data analytics will play an increasingly important role, particularly in areas such as telematics, smart metering and healthcare.

    Internet-connected cars their functionality and safety challenges
    Internet-connected cars are poised to flood the market in the near future. Pete Goldin considers the functionality they offer, the technology they use and the challenge they represent in terms of driver safety. Many vehicles on the road today offer some sort of inter­net connectivity and experts agree that this capability will become a competi­tive differentiator in the automotive industry in the next few years. The era of the digital vehicle, it seems, has started. “We clearly see that cars in the near f
