Global GPS Tracking Device Market – Overview
The GPS tracking device market refers to the industry that produces and sells devices that use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to track and monitor the location of people, vehicles, and other assets. These devices are designed to collect and transmit data about the location, speed, and direction of movement of the object being tracked. The market includes a wide range of products, from simple GPS trackers that can be attached to a keychain or a pet's collar to complex systems used by commercial fleets for real-time monitoring and management of their vehicles. The GPS tracking device market is driven by increasing demand for location-based services, growing concerns about security and safety, and advances in technology that have made GPS tracking devices more affordable, accurate, and easy to use.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global GPS Tracking Device Market
COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the global GPS tracking device market. The lockdown resulted in the suspension of production, assembly, and manufacturing in various sectors, including the automotive industry, across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The shutdown caused a decline in demand for both commercial and passenger vehicles. The impact of reduced demand for the products was also felt in the development of software and hardware for vehicle tracking systems. Hence, the GPS tracking device market suffered a setback due to the pandemic.
Global GPS Tracking Device Market – By Deployment
Based on deployment, the global GPS tracking device market is bifurcated into Commercial Vehicles and Cargo & Containers segments. The commercial vehicles segment holds the highest share in the global GPS tracking device market because commercial vehicles, such as trucks, trailers, and vans, are extensively used for the transportation of goods and people in various industries, such as logistics, construction, and public transport. GPS tracking devices are essential for monitoring the movement and location of these vehicles in real-time to ensure efficient operations, timely delivery, and safety. Also, the use of GPS tracking devices in commercial vehicles helps to reduce fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and insurance premiums. The growing demand for fleet management solutions to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer service has also contributed to the high demand for GPS tracking devices in the commercial vehicles segment.
