The Development of The Trailer Telematics Market Is Accelerated by The Growing Demand for Safety and Security Features in Transportation

Telematics systems in trailers typically include a variety of safety and security features designed to enhance the safety of trailer operation and safeguard the trailer and its contents. Geofencing enables fleet managers to establish virtual boundaries around specific locations and receive notifications if a trailer crosses these boundaries. This helps prevent trailers from being taken outside of designated areas. Telematics systems can monitor the operator's driving behavior, including their speed, acceleration, and braking patterns. This data can be used to provide the driver with feedback and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Thus, the availability of these safety and security features is anticipated to stimulate the growth of the trailer telematics market in the coming years.

Global Trade Activity Expansion

According to the World Trade Organization, the volume of international merchandise trade increased by 3.5% in 2023. Increased commercial activity is likely to increase the demand for commercial vehicles to transport goods. Telematics systems improve communication, job assignment, and routing. These systems also record and transmit data regarding engine performance, velocity, and driver conduct. Consequently, the expansion of commercial vehicle fleets is anticipated to drive market growth shortly.

Trends in the Trailer Telematics Market

The latest connectivity technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), LTE, GPRS, and radio connectivity, are being incorporated by trailer manufacturers. These technologies allow fleet operators to monitor operational efficiency and uphold safety. Uptime and availability of commercial vehicles are crucial for fleet operators because they have a direct impact on revenue. Therefore, trailer fleet operators and manufacturers are adopting telematics to evaluate the condition of their vehicles, maintain maintenance records, and offer roadside assistance to drivers. In May 2021, Volvo Trucks formed a partnership with Lytx to enhance safety and performance with cutting-edge video telematics.
