The demand for electronic logging devices has witnessed significant growth during the past couple of years with enforcement of regulations by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA).

Increasing the demand for smart fleet solutions fueled by the expanding logistic chains across the globe, the demand for electronic logging devices has increased significantly. The demand for commercial vehicle, particularly trucks, has witnessed steady growth owing to convenience and flexibility delivered by roadways. Advancement in automotive electronics has contributed towards the evolution of electronic logging devices with integration of displays and interface devices for driver convenience. The drivers can manually select the mode of vehicle, on-duty, off-duty or on-duty not driving, along with automatic selection capability. The global electronic logging device industry is anticipated to witness steady demand in coming years due to disruption in supply chain across the globe amidst the COVID-19. However, the industry is anticipated to recover during the latter half of the forecast period owing to business continuity plans and deployment of agile supply chain network across the globe.

Telematics unit to drive the growth of global electronic logging device industry

The global electronic logging device industry is segmented on the basis of component, vehicle type, form factor, and geography. Based on component, the global electronic logging device industry is segmented into display, telematics unit, and other. Being a standard fitment and core component of electronic logging devices, the telematics unit contributed a dominating share to the global electronic logging device industry in 2019 and is anticipated to be a dominating segment throughout the forecast period. The telematics unit monitors, records and communicates several engine and vehicle parameters such as hours of service, fuel efficiency, tax reporting, fuel tracking, temperature monitoring, CO2 emission monitoring and so on, to the fleet management server and thus plays a vital role in the electronic logging of vehicles.

Integrated electronic logging devices to drive the growth of industry owing to ease of installation and affordability

Based on form factor, the global electronic logging device industry is segmented into two segments namely - embedded and integrated. The embedded electronic logging devices contributed the largest share to the global electronic logging device industry in 2019 owing to strong demand fueled by high security and reliability offered by these devices. The integrated electronic logging devices are expected to witness prominent growth during the forecast period owing to increased adoption fueled by availability at affordable prices and ease of installation.

Based on geography, the global electronic logging device industry is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Europe contributed a dominating share to the global electronic logging device industry in 2019 owing to strong penetration across the European countries. The European automotive OEMs are expected to deliver vehicles with inbuilt electronic logging systems in coming years, thereby contributing significantly towards the growth of Europe electronic logging system device industry. Asia Pacific to be the most lucrative region during the forecast period.
