C.J. Driscoll & Associates has released a comprehensive new report on the U.S. market for Mobile Resource Management (MRM) systems. This report provides in-depth information on each major MRM market segment, including the markets for vehicle-installed fleet management and driver behavior management solutions. It also covers the emerging market for managing mobile workers with GPS-equipped smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices. In addition, the study examines the markets for monitoring mobile assets, including trailers and heavy equipment.
The study concludes that in the U.S. today, approximately 8.0 million GPS/wireless devices are used to monitor fleet vehicles, trailers, construction equipment and mobile workers. By 2019, this market will expand to over 14 million units, and MRM hardware and service revenues will grow to over $4.7 billion. Continuing market growth will be fueled by factors such as declining hardware costs and lower service fees for basic solutions. Newly issued regulatory requirements for the trucking sector and the increasing involvement of the commercial vehicle OEMs in telematics will also contribute significantly to market growth. However, the greatest stimulant to growth will be the ever increasing awareness of the strong return on investment provided by MRM solutions for a wide range of applications.
The 2016-17 U.S. Mobile Resource Management Systems Market Study includes estimates of current MRM market penetration, along with projections of future subscriber and revenue growth for each major MRM market segment. Detailed profiles are provided on over 140 suppliers of Mobile Resource Management systems and services, including company background, key contacts, target markets, core features, installed base, and equipment and service pricing.
The study was directed by Clement J. Driscoll, founder and president of C.J. Driscoll & Associates, who has over 20 years of experience in marketing, research and consulting in GPS and wireless products and services. The research is based on both primary and secondary methodologies, including over 80 interviews of executives of leading MRM suppliers and companies servicing the MRM industry.
The 323-page report provides current statistical data on the size of the U.S. fleet market and major fleet categories, obtained from a wide range of government and industry sources. Current market trends are analyzed, along with the factors that will impact future market growth.
The previous edition of this study, released in August 2012, has been widely used by MRM solution providers, wireless network operators, equipment suppliers, investment firms and others. The report has often been referred to in public forums as the "bible of the MRM industry". Market data from previous editions of the report has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and other leading publications.
