Fleet Management Market

[324 Pages Report] The fleet management market is estimated to be worth USD 28.6 billion in 2023. It is projected to reach USD 55.6 billion by 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.2% during the forecast period. Operators are increasingly adopting fleet management systems because of compelling considerations such as strict regulatory obligations, particularly those about ELD regulations and pollution standards. The use of ELDs, which are required to log and track drivers' hours of duty precisely, guarantees adherence to labor laws, lowers the possibility of incidents involving fatigued drivers, and improves general road safety. Fleet operators must also use environmentally friendly procedures to comply with emission requirements intended to protect the environment. Fleet management systems are essential for helping businesses comply with these regulations because they offer tools for tracking and optimizing fuel usage, planning routine maintenance to keep cars up to code, and encouraging environmentally friendly driving habits.

Fleet management solutions help increase the profit for fleet owners by optimizing routing, ensuring vehicle security, increasing driver safety, and improving fleet vehicles' performance and life cycle. It also helps visualize fleet performance and identify which drivers or savings categories should be targeted for improvement. Fleet management helps the managers rightsize fleet vehicles, provide maintenance management, reduce fuel costs and distance traveled, modify driver behavior, and lower overhead costs. The benefits boost the cost-effectiveness of business operations for fleet owners, providing them a competitive edge. The advantages have increased the business potential of fleet management solutions and enhanced the investment inflow in the fleet management market.

Restraint: Atmospheric interference causing problems for GPS connectivity

The atmospheric inference is one of the main problems hampering GPS connectivity. The GPS should give an accurate location for it to be functional. The most up-to-date navigation service, Google Maps, also offers a location that is 3–10 meters correct. These services also give the best result under certain conditions. For example, the users should be preferably in ideal conditions, being outdoors rather than indoors, being in a city, and having robust internet connectivity. The GPS signal must travel huge distances through the atmosphere and multiple satellites to reach the mobile phone. Accurate data can be gained by receiving data from at least 3–4 satellites and, at most, 7–8 satellites. Some natural barriers also exist, such as large buildings in cities, trees, mountains, and ridges; in short, it becomes harder to get an accurate GPS signal. The more open sky the device gets, the more precise the GPS tracking. The signal from the GPS satellite tower bounces back, and due to atmospheric interferences, the signal takes more time to reach the GPS device. This would cause sudden errors in the positioning.

Opportunity: Development of transportation in the logistics industry and growth in fleet size

Due to the development of transportation in the logistics industry, more logistic providers now require new fleets to meet the demand. Due to this growing purchase, acquisition, or leasing of new vehicles, their management also becomes a priority. The fleet management market thus becomes an indispensable tool for companies owning large fleets to increase profits and ensure operational efficiency and safety. Transportation is an integral part of logistics services and key to improving logistics efficiency. The Chinese government and transportation enterprises are accelerating transportation transformation to modern logistics services. China’s comprehensive transportation network continually strengthens its logistics service functions by improving its transport infrastructure, upgrading the technical level of its facilities and equipment, and innovating its transportation organizational models. The growth of advanced technologies such as blockchain, digitalization, big data and data analytics, automation, and IoT are significant reasons for the increasing demand for transportation in the logistics industry.

Challenge: Inaccurate geocoding

Accurate geocoding is a must feature-in fleet routing. Every route optimization algorithm works with an inbuilt geocoding functionality. However, converting addresses into a particular point on the map to precise latitude and longitude coordinates takes work. Understanding ambiguous addresses and local contexts is critical for accurate geocoding, coupled with a robust database of local addresses and apartment locations. With a precise address to geocode lookup, the best route optimization algorithms can work efficiently and might lead to non-desired locations and time and fuel wastage.
