Report Highlights

  • BCC Research forecasts strong growth for the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) device market. The worldwide market is valued at $24 billion in 2010 and is expected to increase at a 22.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period to reach a value of $65 billion in 2015. 
  • The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, endowed with a favorable manufacturing climate and above-average innovation skills, will consolidate its position as the powerhouse of the ITS market. This region is valued at nearly $9.5 billion in 2010 and is expected to increase at a 24% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach nearly $28 billion in 2015.
  • The fastest-growing market will be the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region for the sheer gap that exists between the latent demand and supply. This region is valued at nearly $2.3 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $7.3 billion in 2015, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4%.

INTRODUCTION 

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) mark the most concerted organized effort toward addressing and categorizing the advances in the transportation domain in regard to vehicles as well as infrastructure. This market research report measures and analyzes the global market for the various technologies used in ITS and forecasts the overall market and major market segments up to the year 2015. 
 
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 
This study goals and objectives include: 
  • Forecasting the market size for ITS devices in terms of dollar sales and shipment volumes
  • Classifying the ITS device market into different functional categories
  • Classifying the ITS device market into different applications
  • Classifying the ITS device market into different vehicle types
  • Classifying the ITS device market into different geographical regions
  • Analyzing the role played by wireless waveforms in ITS, as well as forecasting the market size for different wireless waveform chipsets in terms of sales and shipment volumes
  • Analyzing the prospects for ITS with emphasis on localized drivers, challenges, implementation methodologies, and case studies with respect to individual ITS applications
  • Examining region-specific environmental factors that impact the ITS device markets
  • Highlighting the roles played by major stakeholders and players
  • Providing an overview of the activities of influential companies
  • Examining crucial innovation breakthroughs through a detailed patent analysis
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
 
ITS presents an engaging combination of technical disciplines including the engineering aspects of automotives, civil construction, mechanics, environment, electronics, telecommunication, cartography, and software, among others. The total addressable market for ITS thus expands well beyond the traditional automotive stakeholders. A flipside of such diversity is disorganization in efforts and initiatives, which is witnessed in abundance in the ITS domain. Efforts have been made to restore order, but their impact has been marginal at best.
 
It is always challenging to analyze such a market, and that in itself is a major motivation. This study aims to sketch the taxonomy of ITS. The taxonomy is important, as it allows the different stakeholders to identify the potential of the market from their individual perspectives. 
 
This study is an effort to crystallize the market structure, analyze the drivers, address the challenges, identify key players, and highlight takeaways for disparate interest groups from the ITS domain.
 
SCOPE OF THE REPORT
 
The report presents the forecasts for ITS device markets for the years 2010 through 2015 on a volume and value basis. The report also presents the size of the chipset market for various wireless waveforms employed in ITS devices.
 
The report restricts itself to the devices used on the vehicle side and does not cover the market for ITS infrastructure.
 
This report does not include: 
  • Railroads
  • Two-wheel vehicles such as motorcycles and mopeds
The geographic scope of this report is the global market.
 
The Summary chapter presents a regional breakdown of the value size of ITS device markets.
 
The Introduction chapter analyzes the overall drivers for ITS. As wireless waveforms play a major role in furthering ITS, this section analyzes the following waveform categories: 
  • Cellular waveforms
  • Bluetooth
  • Radio frequency identification (RFID)
  • Global positioning system (GPS)
  • Wi-Fi
  • Dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)
The chapter titled Introduction to Principal Categories in ITS identifies and analyzes the drivers, challenges, and market sizes for the following principal ITS categories:SCOPEof the report (Continued)
  • Safety and risk management
  • Vehicle telematics
  • Fleet management and asset monitoring
  • Navigation- and location-based services
The Individual ITS Applications chapter covers the prominent individual applications that constitute ITS categories. The following applications are covered with respect to their market sizes (wherever applicable), implementation methodology, and case studies: 
  • Hands-free and voice-activated phones
  • Anti-skidding control systems and electronic stability control
  • Collision-avoidance systems
  • Distracted- and drowsy driving detector systems

  • In-vehicle emergency call systems
  • GIS
  • Emergency warning systems
  • Accident location identification systems
  • Road weather information systems (RWIS)
It should be noted that not every application has been assessed for market size. The market size forecasts have been derived only for those applications that have in-vehicle components. The forecasts for these applications focus solely on the in-vehicle components. Specifically, only the following applications are considered for market size analysis: 
  • Safety and risk management: Hands-free and voice-activated phones, anti-skidding control systems and electronic stability control, collision-avoidance systems, distracted- and drowsy driving detector systems, pedestrian-protector systems 
  • Vehicle telematics: Automated cruise control systems, advanced parking tools, contactless toll payments, in-vehicle wireless access systems 
  • Fleet management and asset monitoring: Vehicle health monitors, M2M systems, stolen vehicle tracking 
  • Navigation- and location-based services: In-vehicle navigation systems, in-vehicle emergency call systems
The Market Dynamics chapter covers the regional analysis and stakeholder scenario. The following regions are considered: 
  • North America (NA)
  • Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)
  • Asia-Pacific (APAC)
  • Caribbean and Latin America (CALA)
The section on patents analyzes innovative activities that impact ITS. Patents are classified based on the ITS applications and the categories they support. They are also broken down based on timing, assignee countries, and assignee organizations.
