In-Vehicle eCall

Global In-Vehicle eCall market has witnessed notable growth in historical years. In-Vehicle eCall is a calling service used in the case of an accident to automatically or manually call the listed numbers in the vehicles to reduce the life-threatening scenario for the passengers. eCall transmits data regarding the time of the accident, direction of accidents, and location of the vehicles to the emergency response services to reduce the time to reach timely medical help to the person/persons in the accident.

The In-Vehicle eCall market is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 11.44% during the forecast period (2024-2032). Some of the key factors that has led to the higher demand for eCall systems to be integrated into the modern age passenger cars and commercial vehicles is the rising focus of the government and pertinent regulatory bodies to implement such technologies due to increasing road-based accidents. As developing regions as Europe, North America, etc., already have mandated the deployment of eCall in the automotive vehicles the rising number of road accidents in the developing regions would propel its adoption in these regions as well. For instance, According to World Health Organization road crashes caused around 1.35 million fatalities across the globe of which 93% happened in the low-and middle-income economies. According to WHO, approximately 155, 600 deaths were caused only in India during 2021.

Considering the upsurge in the demand for safety in automobiles of both passenger and commercial category the demand for In-Vehicle eCalls would also increase in the forthcoming years.
