' The key market drivers for telematics in China'

This research will help you to:

• Learn why vehicle manufacturers are launching services
• Recognise gaps in the market
• Strategically plan for market expansion into China
• Identify partners to help grow your business

in China. It assesses the important factors that are encouraging vehicle manufacturers to offer OE telematics.

These include:

• Car ownership is growing.
• Statistical analysis of vehicle theft and the impact of insurance companies promoting security features. Most importantly, the psychological fear of Chinese consumers of vehicle theft.
• The success of local aftermarket suppliers shows a consumer need and market awareness of what telematics services can supply.

The confusion and segregation of public emergency services presents an opportunity to fill the market gap. Due to increased car ownership, traffic congestion is a major problem for Chinese drivers. Technical issues are still being faced with cellular coverage but technology is being deployed and facilitates a good platform for telematics services.

Key government ministries in China are supportive of telematics as they recognise the benefits for traffic and safety, but also its revenue generating advantages.

The factors that are producing a consumer pull for telematics include traffic congestion, fear of vehicle theft and demand for reliable emergency assistance services. The technology factors that are providing a push for telematics include the widespread availability of competing cellular networks and government support for the deployment of in-car services (see below).
