Ptolemus New Forecast: Connected Mobility Services to Equip 400 Million Cars and Generate $350 Billion in Revenues by 2020

LONDON--()--Launched today, the Connected Mobility Forecast 2016 is the first report to analyse and quantify the volumes and revenues of 14 car services markets and their associated connected car services globally.

The report highlights how connectivity is transforming the century-old automotive industry focused on manufacturing a product into a fast moving, services-centric industry. The shift is best illustrated by the growth of Uber’s market capitalisation ($62 billion), which, in the space of 7 years, has become significantly larger than industry veteran GM’s ($48 billion).

Car manufacturers are catching up fast, acquiring or investing globally in car sharing, pooling and leasing. The Connected Mobility Forecast concludes that revenues from these 3 services will grow as much as tenfold over the next 5 years.

As the nature of car usage, ownership and provision changes under the influence of population growth, traffic and connectivity, global car sales are expected to stagnate and most of the growth will come from mobility services. The Connected Mobility Forecast sets out to identify the real potential revenue opportunities, the key distribution models and who in the ecosystem is best placed to take advantage.

Frederic Bruneteau, Managing Director, commented: “Several OEMs such as GM and Ford have understood the magnitude of the change. However, restricted by their traditional automotive delivery model, carmakers won’t move as fast as the new mobility services players. By 2020, aftermarket service providers will generate 84% of mobility market revenues.”

The 14 connected mobility markets are: car sharing, car pooling, car rental, navigation, in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot, stolen vehicle tracking & recovery (SVT, SVR), emergency assistance (eCall / automatic crash notification), usage-based insurance (UBI), remote diagnostics, connected breakdown assistance (bCall), car leasing, road user charging (RUC) / electronic tolling, fuel card services and telematics fleet management services.

The Connected Mobility Global Forecast 226-page report includes:
