The number of active fleet management systems deployed in commercial vehicle fleets in South Africa reached an estimated 2.1 million in Q4 2022.from internet of things analyst firm Berg Insight, which notes that growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12.2%, this number is expected to reach 3.8 million by 2027.
It adds that full-scale advanced fleet management solutions are, however, still not mainstream. A notable share of the installed fleet telematics systems on the South African market is represented by comparably low-end tracking systems, such as light fleet management solutions, including stolen vehicle recovery systems extended with basic fleet management features, it says.
“Berg Insight ranks Cartrack, Tracker and MiX Telematics as the largest providers of fleet management solutions in South Africa,” says Rickard Andersson, principal analyst at Berg Insight. Lytx, Autotrak, Digital Matter, Scania and Powerfleet are additional top 15 providers, all having estimated installed bases of at least 15 000 fleet management units in the country, says Berg Insight.
