Research from Berg Insight suggests the installed base of fleet management systems in Europe will hit 22.5 million by 2025.
The analysts forecast a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4 percent, showing the growing interest in systems for monitoring fleets.
Berg Insight estimates the current number of management systems deployed for commercial vehicle fleets in Europe to have reached 11.5 million at the end of 2020.
Webfleet Solutions is named as the “clear market leader” in the European market thanks to both organic growth and acquisitions over recent years. The company’s estimated install base was 726,000 at the end of 2020.
Verizon Connect is ranked by Berg Insight as the second-largest player with around 434,000 units. Targa Telematics rounds out the top three with an estimated install base of 415,000.
