Worldwide demand for in-car telematic services is likely to grow from roughly $2 billion today to $5 billion in five years and could reach $7.3 billion by then, Strategy Analytics Inc. predicts.

The analysis says subscriptions act as a barrier to other possible benefits of telematic services. It opines that manufacturers could realize far larger benefits by using their telematic capabilities to cut software-related recall costs and build customer retention and aftersales.
The study reviews current strategies of 11 carmakers and the role of seven carrier-driven strategies.
