"Systems-generated data will account for the majority of all connected car cellular data traffic over the next 5 years."
This report provides forecasts for the volume of cellular data traffic generated by connected cars worldwide. The forecasts are split by network type and application, as well as by car type.
We outline the main drivers of connected car data consumption, which include:
- the transition to 5G connectivity
- the rising share of electric vehicles (EVs)
- the impact of software updates
- the increasing use of telematics to collect data about vehicles and the environment
- the potential for greater consumer use of in-car entertainment services.
The report also looks at the implications for operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Who should read this report:
This report addresses the requirements of anyone who is assessing the likely volume of traffic to be generated by connected cars. This includes:
- automotive business units within telecoms operators
- strategy teams in telecoms operators
- teams in vendors that are involved in the automotive IoT market
- service development and purchasing managers at car OEMs keen to understand potential exposure to costs.
