Automotive data monetisation $33bn market: report
DUBAI, February 26, 2018
Automotive data monetisation could offer $33 billion in opportunities for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by 2025, a report says.
The highlights the potential to monetise $100 per car currently and delves into how data monetisation across the automotive ecosystem starts with an overarching digital strategy.
Over 200 data points exist today that can typically provide more than 140 use cases, with the vehicles generating a value of almost $100 per car, says the Frost & Sullivan’s analysis, Automotive Data Monetization Pricing and Business Models.
To build a recurring service revenue stream or prescribe measurable objectives, digital innovation is mandatory, it says. However, the automotive industry has to master software capabilities and introduce new monetisation models to remain profitable.
The total number of connected vehicles, activation rate, and consent rate are some of the key factors that help determine the automotive data monetisation market across various data types, says the report.
The total revenue opportunity for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the automotive data monetisation market is expected to remain on a very strong growth trajectory over the next seven years, growing from $2 billion in 2017 to $33 billion in 2025.
“Contextual and vehicle usage data will evolve as the new data currency for value creation amongst B2B/B2C entities involved in the automotive ecosystem as smart mobility, connected cars and autonomous vehicles become the most viable use cases,” said Niranjan Manohar, Intelligent Mobility Program Manager.
According to Frost & Sullivan, OEMs focused on connected cars, autonomous driving, and mobility must realise the disruption from non-automotive companies like Uber, Didi Chuxing, Google, and Apple.
OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers need to reshape their business around IoT and big data analytics, with a focused approach to security across both horizontal and vertical business layers.
The research reveals the major growth opportunities, including:
• OEMs’ partnerships with technology companies to share data (only with the customers’ consent) with recommended third-party service providers, such as insurance companies and smart parking service providers; and
• Tier 1 companies investing in startups that are focusing on data-driven platforms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning too leverage Internet of Things applications.
“OEMs are expected to consolidate the car data ecosystem between 2020 and 2025, eventually becoming potential technology integrators and, correspondingly, data gatekeepers,” said Manohar. - TradeArabia News Service
