Latin American Vehicle Tracking Systems Market Study 2010-11 Edition |
Overview
C.J. Driscoll & Associates has released a comprehensive new study on the Latin American market for vehicle tracking solutions, including GPS fleet tracking and consumer stolen vehicle recovery and telematics solutions. This study provides in-depth information on the vehicle tracking market in each Latin American country. The research is based on interviews conducted over a 15-month period with executives of over 100 Latin American suppliers of GPS tracking products and services.
Latin America is currently a large market for fleet and consumer vehicle tracking solutions and the market is poised for continued expansion. The vehicle parc in Latin America totals over 77 million, including 22 million commercial vehicles. By 2030, the vehicle parc is projected to grow to 120 million.
The high rate of growth of the Latin American economy is creating the need for greater efficiency in transporting goods and more effective monitoring of corporate and personal vehicles and assets. Latin American Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to grow 5.7% in 2010, versus 2.7% growth for the world’s advanced economies. Brazil accounts for almost 50% of Latin America’s GDP and the country’s economy is on track to grow at a rate of 7.7 % in 2010. While the Latin American economy is growing, many countries are plagued by high rates of vehicle theft. Brazil’s vehicle theft rate is four times the rate in the U.S., and the theft rate for cars and trucks in Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, and a number of other Latin American countries is comparable to Brazil.
This study concludes that in Latin America today, approximately one million fleet vehicles are equipped with GPS fleet management solutions, with 60% of these operating in Brazil or Mexico. In addition, over three million cars are equipped with stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) or telematics solutions that include security and convenience features. In 2010, Latin American revenues from vehicle location hardware sales and services for fleets and consumers are projected to total nearly US $1.5 billion, growing to nearly $2.7 billion by 2014.
The report covers the GPS vehicle tracking market in each South American country, as well as Mexico and Central America. For each country, the report includes the following:
- Country profile including geographic area, population, and economy
- Addressable market size (commercial and consumer vehicle population)
