An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is an electronic tool designed to assist licensed truck drivers and private motor carriers in tracking and managing their hours of operation. ELDs are equipped with built-in gyroscopes, GPS tracking, and accelerometers to measure various parameters such as hours of service, drive time, duty status, real-time GPS location, engine load and speed, fuel efficiency, idling, mileage for diagnostics and fault codes, and safety-related events such as harsh braking or collisions.
The main components of an electronic logging device include a telematics unit, display, and other accessories such as connectors, cables, and mounting hardware. The telematics unit is an integrated onboard system responsible for wireless tracking, diagnostics, and communication to and from the vehicle. Electronic logging devices come in different form factors, including embedded and integrated versions, and are utilized in various types of vehicles, including light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses.

This electronic logging device market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The electronic logging device market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $14.52 billion in 2024 to $15.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory mandates, improved compliance and accuracy, enhanced fleet management, safety and accident prevention, productivity gains, reduction in paperwork burden.
The electronic logging device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued regulatory evolution, focus on driver well-being, smart cities and traffic management, environmental sustainability, data security measures, global supply chain challenges. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in telematics technology, shift to cloud-based solutions, use of artificial intelligence (ai), mobile eld applications, blockchain for data security, interoperability standards.
The surge in the demand for electronics within the automotive industry is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the electronic logging device market in the forthcoming years. Within the automotive sector, encompassing vehicle manufacturing, distribution, sales, and maintenance, there is a rising need for electronic logging devices. This demand surge is attributed to the federal motor carrier safety administration's mandate, which made electronic logging devices compulsory in all low-commercial vehicles. For example, data from the National Automobile Dealers Association revealed that in October 2022, sales of light commercial vehicles reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 14.9 million, marking the second-highest monthly total of the year. This figure represented a 12.7% increase from October 2021 and a notable 9.8% surge from September 2022. Consequently, the electronic logging device market experienced an upsurge due to increased sales of light vehicles compelled by the ELD mandate rule, affirming the burgeoning demand for electronics in the automotive industry as a driver for this market's growth.
The stringent government regulations surrounding electronic logging devices are expected to propel the market's expansion. Governments stand to gain from enhanced enforcement efficiency, data-driven decision-making capabilities, and the potential for standardized global standards. Penalties for non-compliance and incentives for voluntary adoption further encourage companies to invest in ELDs, fostering market growth. For instance, according to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, as of January 1, 2023, Ontario's Hours of Service regulation mandates the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) for most commercial motor vehicle drivers, excluding specific exemptions such as certain farm truck drivers. The regulation, applicable to drivers of trucks exceeding 4,500 kg requiring a Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR), ensures compliance with standardized logging practices and facilitates the enforcement of hours-of-service limits. Therefore, stringent government regulations around electronic logging devices are a driving force behind the market's growth.
Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend shaping the electronic logging device market. Major industry players are concentrating on developing innovative products to fortify their market positions. An illustration of this occurred in November 2022, when Trucker Path, a US-based transportation network company serving the trucking industry, introduced Geotab ELD and telematics technologies to expand its product portfolio. The Trucker Path ELD, powered by Geotab, integrates Electronic Logging Device technology to ensure hours-of-service and driver's vehicle inspection report compliance. Additionally, the telematics component offers insights into vehicle utilization, performance, health assessments, and a wide array of other telematics-driven functionalities, marking a pivotal step in product innovation within the electronic logging device market.
Prominent entities within the electronic logging devices market are dedicatedly developing simplified and cost-effective solutions in a bid to gain a competitive advantage. These solutions entail electronic gadgets or systems deliberately designed to be straightforward in functionality and construction, while simultaneously ensuring affordability. An exemplar of this pursuit occurred in May 2022 when Rand McNally, a US-based technology company, introduced the Vehicle Link, a novel electronic logging device crafted for streamlined, enduring compliance amidst supply chain shortages and cellular disruptions. The Vehicle Link seamlessly plugs into a truck's diagnostic port, pairing with the Rand VL app on an Android phone or tablet. It provides functionalities for Hours of Service and Driver Vehicle Inspection reporting at a low cost, catering to users with a user-friendly approach. This innovation specifically tackles challenges linked to ELD supply shortages and the obsolescence of devices reliant on 2G and 3G networks. It presents fleets and drivers with a reliable, uncomplicated compliance tool.
In March 2023, Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), a US-based provider of telematics services, acquired Amodo for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition merges two significant telematics companies in Europe, enhancing their market presence. As a result, Amodo's customers will gain access to advanced telematics solutions focused on driver risk assessment, proactive crash and claims management, and behavior modification aimed at reducing driving risks. Amodo, based in Croatia, specializes in providing vehicle e-logbook services.
