In 2017, the global material handling equipment market was worth USD 3.18 billion. The market is forecast to grow at 11.7% CAGR over the forecast period. In the last few years, there have been significant changes in this industry. The industry has seen significant technological advancements over the past few years. This includes increased digitalization of material handling equipment. This allows for easy tracking of equipment performance.
OEMs are increasingly looking for equipment diagnostics data to perform predictive analytics. There have also been significant increases in regulations regarding equipment safety, user experience and operational efficiency. These trends have led to an increase in the adoption of telematics for off-highway equipment.
The overall market is seeing a boost from the increasing construction activity in emerging economies like India and China. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was announced by the Chinese government in 2013. It is also known as One Belt One Road (OBOR), and is an ambitious project that aims to connect China overland with Europe, Africa, and the Middle East via highways, railways and ports. The initiative includes several construction projects that will likely create a huge demand for construction equipment during the forecast period.
The potential growth prospects for the construction industry, which accounts for more than 50% of the market, are promising. Telematics solutions for material handling equipment have helped to monitor trends in equipment usage and provide safety and security for operators.
Cost savings have been realized due to improved equipment performance and new product features like driver monitoring, predictive maintenance, fuel management, fleet analytics, and driver monitoring. These benefits will encourage material handling equipment adoption in the near future. Market development will be influenced by the need for lower costs and increased productivity in a highly competitive market. To provide better results for their customers, OEM telematics devices will be installed by vehicle OEMs.
To implement such connected technology, you need a strong networking infrastructure that allows for seamless connectivity and the transfer of real-time data. The main factor that is hindering the growth in the off-highway equipment and telematics market is the lack of an adequate network infrastructure, particularly in developing countries like India and Brazil. Cyber-attacks and data loss can also hinder the market's potential.
The market can be divided into several product segments: aerial work platform; forklift, crane; earthmoving equipment; truck, tractor, and telehandler. The truck telematics segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The forecast period will see a 15.0% CAGR.
The rise in truck sales is expected to be aided by improvements in road infrastructure and a rising demand from the ecommerce sector for goods transport. This will lead to an increase in the use of telematics solutions in trucks. The rising use of telematics devices on trucks will lead to an increase in data collection pertaining to driver behavior, vehicle location and engine diagnostics. This could open up new opportunities for those in the material handling equipment market.
This technology is being used in an increasing number of earthmoving equipment, such as articulated wheel loadsers, road vehicles and spreaders. It helps to increase job-site productivity, track equipment usage, and enable preventive maintenance. The segment of earthmoving equipment and telematics accounted for over 20% of total revenue in 2017. It is expected to continue growing at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
In 2017, North America held the largest market share. It is characterized by the presence of technologically-advanced firms that make investments for the development of autonomous vehicles technologies, networking solutions, and IoT-enabled services. The region's growth is due to its strong IT infrastructure, high speed networks, and rapid adoptions of new technologies. Over the forecast period, the regional market will experience a CAGR exceeding 12.0%.
The Asia Pacific telematics market for off-highway equipment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the same period. This is due to significant advancements in networking technologies, increased investments in infrastructure development, and increasing regulatory mandates regarding fuel emissions. The region's adoption of IoT, autonomous cars, cloud and mobility solutions is expected to benefit its growth.
There are both large-scale and small-scale providers of telematics solutions for material handling equipment. TomTom International BV and ORBCOMM are the major players in this market.
To remain competitive in this highly competitive market, these companies invest heavily in R&D to create new telematics solutions. Off-highway equipment solution providers for telematics are also focusing on strengthening their regional presence through collaboration with other players that offer similar products and services. This will allow them to increase their market presence and gain a competitive edge over their competitors.
