Description

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Tracking as a Service Market is accounted for $10.84 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $36.86 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 19.1% during the forecast period. Tracking as a Service (TaaS) is a cloud-based solution that enables real-time monitoring and management of assets, people, or shipments using technologies like GPS, RFID, and IoT. It provides businesses with scalable, cost-effective tools for location tracking, data analytics, and reporting. TaaS improves operational efficiency, enhances security, and supports informed decision-making by offering accessible tracking information through web or mobile platforms without requiring complex in-house infrastructure.

According to interviews by the ICCT, 40-50% of trucking fleets in Canada are currently using telematics systems. The electronic logging device (ELD) mandates in the United States and Canada has created a ripe market for the adoption of telematics systems.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increased need for supply chain visibility

Companies are investing in real-time tracking solutions to reduce inefficiencies and enhance operational control. The rise in global logistics and e-commerce requires dependable location and condition monitoring of assets. Supply chain transparency helps organizations quickly respond to disruptions and optimize inventory management. Regulatory frameworks demanding traceability in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals further drive the market. Enterprises are also using tracking data to improve decision-making and customer service. As industries evolve, the demand for smarter tracking solutions is expected to intensify.

Restraint:

Privacy and data security concerns

Location-based services collect sensitive data, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks and unauthorized access. Enterprises fear exposure of proprietary operational insights through data breaches. Compliance with global data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA increases the complexity of implementation. Small businesses hesitate to adopt tracking services due to the cost of cybersecurity measures. Balancing real-time visibility and privacy compliance remains a challenge for vendors. These concerns could slow adoption rates among cautious market players.

Opportunity:

Advancements in IoT and GPS technologies

Advanced sensors and low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are enabling seamless connectivity for devices. Real-time tracking is now more precise, reliable, and energy-efficient thanks to technology upgrades. IoT integration with cloud platforms facilitates predictive maintenance and analytics. Edge computing allows faster data processing at the source, minimizing latency. These technological advancements are attracting diverse sectors, from logistics to healthcare and construction. As costs decline, even SMEs can access sophisticated tracking systems.

Threat:

Short device lifespan and maintenance

The limited lifespan of tracking devices poses a notable threat to the TaaS market’s scalability. Frequent battery replacements and hardware wear increase maintenance costs over time. Industries operating in harsh environments often struggle with device durability and signal reliability. Without regular servicing, device downtime disrupts operations and compromises data accuracy. The need for specialized support staff adds overheads for enterprises relying on large-scale deployments.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Tracking as a Service (TaaS) market with both challenges and opportunities. Initial disruptions like lockdowns and supply chain issues negatively affected transportation demand, causing some businesses to delay or halt TaaS investments. However, the crisis also highlighted the critical need for real-time tracking, optimized logistics, and cost-efficiency. This spurred the adoption of TaaS, especially in e-commerce, food delivery, and healthcare, as companies prioritized flexible, scalable, and remote monitoring solutions to adapt to rapidly changing operational landscapes and ensure supply chain visibility.

The asset tracking segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The asset tracking segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to its extensive application across industries. Businesses prioritize real-time monitoring of high-value assets for security and operational efficiency. Logistics, transportation, and manufacturing sectors are integrating tracking systems to minimize loss and theft. IoT-enabled asset trackers provide location, temperature, and condition updates. Enhanced analytics help in optimizing asset utilization and lifecycle management.

The healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the healthcare segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to rising demand for precision tracking in medical environments. Hospitals are leveraging TaaS to monitor equipment, medication, and patient movement. The pandemic accelerated adoption for vaccine distribution and emergency asset management. Regulatory pressure for traceability and hygiene compliance is pushing healthcare institutions to invest. Remote patient monitoring and mobile health units require real-time tracking support.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to booming logistics and manufacturing hubs. China, India, and Southeast Asian countries are rapidly digitalizing their supply chain infrastructure. The rise of e-commerce, supported by tech-forward logistics, drives strong demand for tracking services. Local vendors offer cost-effective solutions that are tailored to regional needs. Government incentives and smart city initiatives further fuel market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to growing innovation and adoption of IoT-based tracking solutions. U.S. and Canadian companies are heavily investing in digital transformation of logistics. Sustainability-driven goals are encouraging adoption of efficient tracking systems for resource optimization. Rising theft and loss prevention concerns are accelerating demand for asset visibility. Healthcare and defense sectors are leading adopters of location tracking technologies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
