Vehicle Diagnostics and IoT

Ensuring vehicle reliability is the major driver of telematics and vehicle diagnostics, as the early detection and prevention of costly issues can be an appealing feature for many consumers. Consequently, maintaining a reputation for producing dependable vehicles will motivate manufacturers to embrace the feature or collaborate with independent manufacturers. Berg Insight states that in 2021, the global aftermarket telematics hardware, including vehicle diagnostics, market saw sales of over 42.0 million devices valued at approximately €2.2 billion.
