Telematics is a broad term that may be applied to a wide range of vehicle connectivity solutions. The report's definition of a telematics system is an automatic system designed for any motor-powered two-wheeler that incorporates some form of cellular communications. This report focuses on both aftermarket and OEM embedded telematics solutions for motor-powered two-wheelers including motorcycles, mopeds and scooters. OEM embedded telematics solutions are installed at the factory-level and are managed by the OEMs. Aftermarket solutions are retro-fitted and usually managed by third-party companies.

The adoption of telematics in the two-wheeler industry has recently begun to pick up speed. The industry is in a similar stage as the automotive industry was ten or fifteen years ago. Only some of the largest two-wheeler OEMs offer embedded telematics services today. Most major motorcycle OEMs have begun to look at including embedded telematics systems and many will likely introduce such offerings in the near future. Important drivers for telematics include safety and security services such as emergency and roadside assistance services and stolen vehicle tracking solutions. The increasing interest in electric two-wheelers is also a major catalyst for telematics adoption. At the end of 2023, an estimated 11.1 million active two-wheeler OEM telematics systems were in use globally.

Growing at a CAGR of 37.1 percent, this number is expected to reach 53.8 million in 2028. Annual shipments of OEM telematics systems are expected to reach 26.1 million by 2028, up from 5.1 million at the end of 2023. This represents a CAGR of 38.7 percent. Examples of two-wheeler OEMs that offer embedded telematics services today include BMW Motorrad in Europe, LiveWire and Zero Motorcycles in the US, Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto (Chetak) and Royal Enfield in India as well as Yadea, NIU Technologies, Segway-Ninebot and Sunra from China.

The penetration rate of embedded OEM telematics solutions will increase in the coming years, but there will still be plenty of opportunities for aftermarket telematics service providers. The number of aftermarket two-wheeler telematics systems in active use is forecasted to grow from 13.8 million at the end of 2023 to reach 27.4 million in 2028. This represents a CAGR of 14.7 percent. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest number of active telematics systems followed by RoW including regions such as Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Annual shipments of aftermarket two-wheeler telematics systems are expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.0 percent from 4.9 million in 2023 to 9.5 million in 2028.
