Dublin, Feb. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Consumer Asset Tracking Solutions, 2nd Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The market potential for consumer asset tracking is huge. In Europe and North America, there are 70 million children aged 4-10 years old, which is the typical age group for kids GPS watches, 345 million dogs and cats, 580 million passenger cars and 145 million other consumer vehicles. The overall penetration rate of GPS tracking products is currently around 1.0 percent. The largest consumer asset tracking segments today, based on the number of active units, are car tracking, kids GPS watches and pet tracking. The report estimates that the installed base of active consumer asset tracking devices in Europe and North America reached 12.5 million at the end of 2022. Growing at a CAGR of 18.4 percent, the number of units in active use is estimated to reach 29.2 million units by the end of 2027. The market value is forecasted to grow from € 1.6 billion in 2022 to € 3.8 billion in 2027.
Leading providers of family tracking and parental control services include US-based Smartcom Mobility Solutions, Smith Micro Software and Life360. Smartcom Mobility Solutions is a platform provider for kids GPS watches and other consumer asset tracking segments, used by several MNOs, OEMs and ODMs in the US and Europe. Smith Micro offers white-label solutions to MNOs and has contracts with major mobile operators in the US.

The pet tracking market is dominated by Austria-based Tractive, whose subscriber base has grown to almost one million. In North America, the main providers of pet tracking solutions are Fi, Whistle and Halo. The latter company offers a combined pet GPS tracking and containment solution.
The market for passenger car tracking solutions sold to consumers is led by Verizon, Mojio, Tail Light and Agnik in North America and Haysquare, Net4Things and the Plan B Company in Europe. Although OEM telematics is increasingly common within the automotive industry, there is still a growing interest in aftermarket telematics solutions.
Leading providers of GPS tracking and vehicle recovery solutions for motorcycles and mopeds in Europe include Datatool (Scorpion Automotive), Mapit IoT, Monimoto and GeoRide. A few companies provide tracking solutions developed specifically for caravans, leisure boats and other consumer vehicles. Europe-based Sensar Marine, NorthTracker, Sentinel Marine Solutions, Sailsense Analytics and Vetel and US-based Siren Marine offer solutions developed for leisure boats.
General-purpose tracking solutions and solutions developed for other types of vehicles are often used to serve these segments as well. Along with the booming market for electric bicycles, the market for GPS trackers for e-bicycles and other high-value bicycles is growing rapidly. The market is today served by European companies such as IoT Venture, PowUnity, Haveltec, BikeFinder and Tracefy. Trackimo, Invoxia and LandAirSea are well-known providers of general-purpose tracking devices.
The consumer asset tracking solutions market is still in an early phase with tremendous growth potential. Advancements in battery capacity, processor power and network technology will continuously enable better solutions at lower price points which will lead to a higher demand from consumers. Many solution providers covered in this report have recently introduced new tracking devices based on Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) network technologies. LPWA technologies are especially valuable in market segments where low battery consumption is key, such as pet tracking, bicycle tracking and general asset tracking.
The key applications for tracking solutions in the consumer market include family and child tracking, pet tracking, vehicle tracking and general asset tracking. The vehicle category can be further divided into cars, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, caravans, motor caravans, leisure boats, ATVs and snowmobiles. The general asset tracking category includes any type of asset, such as luggage, keys, wallets, clothes, electronics, tools and sports equipment.
