Automotive manufacturers can choose between connectivity options such as embedded and handset-based when creating connected car services, which are not mutually exclusive. Embedded solutions use cellular communications hardware inside the vehicle, whereas handset-based solutions use a tethered device such as the driver’s smartphone for connectivity. This report mainly focuses on embedded telematics solutions. Several categories of telematics applications are now offered by most leading vehicle manufacturers. Examples include eCall and roadside assistance, stolen vehicle tracking (SVT), vehicle diagnostics, over-the-air updates, connected navigation and infotainment, fleet management, Wi-Fi hotspots, concierge services and convenience applications. The drivers behind the adoption of OEM telematics are both commercial and regulatory.

There are also numerous OEM telematics offerings from commercial vehicle manufacturers, provided either independently or in collaboration with third parties including leading aftermarket telematics providers. These OEM solutions are expected to achieve increased adoption and to an increasing extent be delivered as standard.

The analyzer estimates that global shipments of OEM telematics hardware for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles reached 68.4 million units in 2023 at a total market value of € 8.6 billion. Also the estimation says that nearly 74 percent of all new passenger cars and commercial vehicles sold worldwide in 2023 were equipped with an OEM-embedded telematics system, up from nearly 72 percent in 2022.

The design and development of OEM telematics systems are complex as these have to integrate with vehicle systems, fulfil strict quality standards and ensure performance during the long lifecycle of a vehicle model. For this reason, the OEM telematics equipment suppliers are generally established automotive suppliers that develop their solutions in cooperation with car manufacturers.

LG Electronics is the market leader in terms of OEM telematics shipments with a market share of about 26%. The company has contracts with leading automotive brands such as General Motors and Volkswagen. Continental and Harman were the runners-up with market shares of about 16 and 10 percent respectively. Other OEM telematics hardware vendors include Valeo, Marelli, Denso, Actia, Lear, Bosch, Gosuncn WeLink, Huawei, Neusoft Corporation, Lianyou Technology, Hyundai Mobis, Visteon and Aptiv.
