This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The automotive electronic logging device market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.83 billion in 2024 to $14.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in the adoption of telematics solutions, a rise in the concerns about driver fatigue management, the growth of the gig economy and last-mile delivery services, the need for accurate hours of service tracking, increased demand for comprehensive compliance reporting.

The automotive electronic logging device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing emphasis on efficiency and productivity, increasing focus on supply chain visibility, growing demand for driver behavior monitoring solutions, growing transportation and logistics sector, and increasing investment in smart transportation infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in ELD hardware, a shift towards paperless recordkeeping, the development of mobile ELD applications, expansion of the commercial trucking industry, and advancements in data security and privacy measures.

The expanding transportation and logistics sector is poised to drive significant growth within the automotive electronic logging device (ELD) market. Transportation and logistics encompass the efficient movement and management of goods, people, and resources from one location to another. This sector's demand is propelled by the expansion of e-commerce and the need for streamlined supply chain management. ELD systems offer real-time monitoring capabilities, empowering fleet managers to track vehicle status and position, monitor driver behavior, and receive alerts for potential issues such as unauthorized vehicle use or excessive idling. By automating the collection and storage of critical data related to driver activity and vehicle operations, ELDs streamline record-keeping processes in the transportation and logistics sectors. For instance, as indicated by the 2023 State of Logistics Report by Logistics Management in July 2023, commercial logistics expenses in the United States surged to $2.3 trillion over the year 2022, marking a notable 19.6% increase from 2021. This robust growth underscores the pivotal role of the transportation and logistics sector in driving the expansion of the automotive electronic logging device market.

Major companies are focusing on developing advanced products such as the Vehicle Link ELD. This compact device offers features such as hours of service (HOS) reporting and driver vehicle inspection report (DVIR) logs, providing fleet managers with comprehensive monitoring capabilities. For example, Rand McNally introduced the Vehicle Link ELD in May 2022, designed to enable fleet managers to check truck location and vehicle status efficiently. This ELD plugs into a truck's diagnostic port and pairs with a mobile app, allowing for seamless transmission of HOS information and electronic vehicle inspection reports. Such innovations not only improve compliance and safety measures but also enhance operational efficiency in fleet management.
