Frost & Sullivan said that 96 percent of Indonesian truck companies are using telematics in their fleets, with communication functions sent over 3G/4G, leveraging real-time information for efficient operation of their fleets. The commercial vehicle telematics market in Indonesia is growing at a slow rate due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company said.
“Indonesian businesses have adopted telematics for various functions with a majority opting for hardware that can communicate and transfer data,” said Krishna Chaithanya, senior industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan, in a prepared statement. “Most companies in Indonesia prefer third-party service providers due to ease of solution availability on top of the highly fragmented market with over 30 players. Therefore, the market is ripe for service providers as well as OEMs to leverage growth opportunities in new business models based on industry and consumer needs, geographic expansion into other regions of Indonesia, and strategic partnerships with software companies to build a strong product portfolio.”
