Off-highway vehicles (OHVs) include agricultural equipment, construction vehicles, mining trucks and other heavy machinery used away from road networks. Telematics systems provide real-time vehicle data such as location, engine health, fuel consumption and share it with owners and fleet managers. This enables remote vehicle diagnostics and maintenance, improving overall equipment effectiveness. Telematics also increases driver safety through features such as geo-fencing, minimizing the risk of accidents. The global off-highway vehicle telematics market is mainly driven by mining and construction industries. With strict regulations regarding vehicle safety and emission norms, telematics is increasingly being incorporated in off-road vehicles.
The global Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Telematics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 488.3 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
Increased regulations imposed by government agencies regarding vehicle safety and emissions standards act as a major driver for off-highway vehicle telematics adoption. Telematics helps fleet owners comply with norms by continuously monitoring vehicle health parameters. Moreover, safety features like geofencing helps prevent accidents. As outlined in the market heading, implementation of stricter safety rules globally is fueling demand for telematics systems in off-road vehicles.
Segment Analysis
The global off-highway vehicle telematics market is dominated by the agriculture segment. Within agriculture, equipment fleet management sub-segment dominates owing to rising demand for improved management of agricultural equipment fleets.
