C.J. Driscoll & Associates has released a comprehensive new report on the U.S. market for Mobile Resource Management (MRM) systems. This report provides in-depth information on each major MRM market segment, including the markets for vehicle-installed GPS fleet management and video/driver behavior monitoring solutions. It also covers the market for supply chain visibility platforms, commercial insurance telematics, and field service management solutions. In addition, the study examines the markets for monitoring mobile assets, including trailers and heavy equipment.

The study concludes that in the U.S. today, approximately 18.0 million GPS/wireless devices are used to monitor fleet vehicles and drivers, trailers, construction equipment and field service workers. By 2024, this market will expand to over 25 million units, and MRM hardware and service revenues will grow to over $8.0 billion. Continuing market growth will be fueled by factors such as declining hardware costs and lower service fees for basic solutions. Video-based solutions and other optional features will help to support revenues, including those offered through solution provider marketplaces. Significant merger and acquisition activity has been occurring, which shows the ongoing confidence of both strategic and financial investors in the near and long term prospects for the industry. Also, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Edge Computing are opening the doors to increasing innovation in solutions for safety and productivity in the management of vehicles, assets, and human resources.

The 2021-22 U.S. Mobile Resource Management Systems Market Study includes estimates of current MRM market penetration, along with projections of future subscriber and revenue growth for each major MRM market segment. Detailed profiles are provided on over 150 suppliers of Mobile Resource Management systems and services, including company background, key contacts, target markets, core features, installed base, and available equipment and service pricing.

The study was directed by Clement J. Driscoll, founder and president of C.J. Driscoll & Associates, who has over 25 years of experience in marketing, research and consulting in GPS and wireless products and services. The research is based on both primary and secondary methodologies, including over 80 interviews of executives of leading MRM suppliers and companies servicing the MRM industry.

The 368-page report provides current statistical data on the size of the U.S. fleet market and major fleet categories, obtained from a wide range of government and industry sources. Current market trends are analyzed, along with the factors that will impact future market growth.

The previous edition of this study, released in January 2019, has been widely used by MRM solution providers, wireless network operators, equipment suppliers, investment firms and others. The report has often been referred to in public forums as the “bible of the MRM industry”. Market data from previous editions of the report has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, and other leading publications.
