The automotive data monetization industry has experienced significant growth over the past few years and is expected to continue growing as vehicles become more connected than ever before. The growth is mainly due to advancements in technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence. The number of data points available from modern vehicles, including performance and driving behaviors, is incredibly valuable to automakers and tech companies. These data points are now valuable revenue channels made possible through applications in insurance, predictive maintenance, fleet management, and in-car services. There has never been a better time to be involved with automotive data monetization.
The automotive data monetization market growth is being propelled by several important forces. The proliferation of connected cars is a significant driver, as many connected cars can have a variety of sensors and software that will collect and transmit real-time data. The move towards autonomous vehicles is also an important factor as self-driving vehicles are reliant on a large volume of data for making decisions and navigation.
The future of the automotive data monetization industry will depend on leveraging data into predictive analytics, using data to improve efficiency of vehicle operations, and providing smarter cities. Emerging data integration and cybersecurity solutions in the automotive ecosystem will support the growth of automotive data monetization, with innovation opportunities arising from partnerships across various industries.
New developments in the sector show the innovative, fast-moving nature of the automotive data monetization market. The emergence of subscription-based services, where drivers and/or fleet owners become subscribers of real-time data insights such as traffic reports, vehicle health and diagnostics, and/or vehicle safety. One growing trend in this sector relates to the use of blockchain technology, which provides secure and transparent opportunities for mobility providers to manage and engage in exchange processes around automotive data.
Partnerships between automotive manufacturers and technology companies are more prevalent, where they are looking to build strong data sharing ecosystems. A related trend is the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI), including predictive analytics and real-time decision-making that allows mobility providers to better the driving experience as well as create efficiencies for overall operations. Such trends highlight the role of data and the necessity of data as a value resource for mobility providers on the path to the future of the automotive industry.
