Connected Trucks Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025 - 2034
The Global Connected Trucks Market was valued at USD 34.8 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% to reach USD 149.5 billion by 2034.
The growing demand for connected truck technologies is reshaping logistics and long-haul transportation networks worldwide. Advanced telematics, predictive fleet analytics, and in-cabin connectivity are transforming the way operators monitor routes, forecast delivery times, optimize loads, and minimize idle or empty trips. The use of digital-twin simulations enables fleet managers and OEMs to test operational models virtually, leading to cost reduction, enhanced safety, and improved delivery reliability. As the industry transitions toward electric and low-emission fleets, connected truck platforms are being utilized to manage energy distribution, schedule charging, and optimize range efficiency. Integration of smart charging and vehicle-to-grid communication systems ensures balanced energy usage and reduced grid strain. Furthermore, in mixed fleet operations, connected systems enable dynamic load balancing and route optimization to preserve battery life. The rapid integration of advanced driver assistance technologies such as automated braking, lane keeping, and truck platooning further underscores the importance of reliable, low-latency connectivity. OEMs and fleet operators are increasingly investing in sensor fusion and cloud analytics to turn real-time data into actionable safety and compliance insights.
