3 Contents Slide no. 6. Executive summary 7. The market for connectivity solutions in cars is growing 8. Almost half of all vehicles will have embedded connectivity by 2024, despite the long lifespan of modern vehicles 9. Key implications 10. Key implications for mobile operators 11. Forecasts 12. A number of connectivity options are being used to connect vehicles to mobile networks 13. Embedded connectivity will be driven by sales of new cars, robust M2M module form factors and advances in SIM-card technology 14. Fully embedded connectivity enables vehicle owners to avoid complex set-up or device pairing processes, which could impair the user experience 15. Semi- and hybrid-embedded connectivity enables car owners to bring your own SIM (BYOS) 16. Embedded connectivity enables the best radio experience and vehicle design innovations are affecting the in-vehicle performance of handsets 17. The percentage of vehicles with embedded connectivity will be almost six times greater in 2024 than in 2014, growing from 15% to 89% 18. Mobile device tethered connectivity will be driven by new propositions, such as Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink and Google s Android Projected Mode Slide no. 19. VMs will not rely exclusively on a single mobile device tethering platform, so as to cater to their large and diverse consumer base 20. Mobile device tethered connections will grow from 4.3 million in 2014 to 645 million in 2024, at a CAGR of 65% 21. Innovative aftermarket OEMs are taking advantage of the momentum in the connected car market and forming partnerships with MNOs 22. We expect the overall market for aftermarket modular connectivity solutions to be small because it will experience significant challenges 23. Additional regional insight on the prospects for aftermarket modular telematics solutions 24. Aftermarket UBI connections will peak at 56 million in 2019, before declining as support for UBI through embedded connectivity increases 25. Commercial vehicle fleet tracking connections will grow from 45 million in 2014 to 177 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 15% 26. Key trends 27. Semi-autonomous vehicles are only a decade away from becoming commonplace 28. In the long term, autonomous cars will be entertainment hubs and drive huge volumes of mobile data 29. LTE is the basis for new connectivity services in the car 30. Case study: EE has prioritised building out LTE coverage for the UK s transportation network
4 Contents Slide no. 31. Operators can climb the connected car value chain with cloudconnected services that offer anywhere, any-access multimedia and SaaS 32. M2M middleware cloud platform providers are developing solutions that enable operators to create value-added services for VMs and end users 33. Some operators are beginning to capitalise on opportunities in the connected home space, which is linked to the connected car market 34. It is uncertain how willing consumers will be to pay for connected car services 35. Operators could increase connected car revenue by tapping into the big data opportunity, although ICT firms are better placed to do so 36. Regional insights 37. New car sales regional insight: forecasts for new vehicle sales and vehicles in use 38. New car sales regional insight: North America and Western Europe 39. New car sales regional insight: Central and Eastern Europe and Developed Asia Pacific 40. New car sales regional insight: Emerging Asia Pacific and Latin America 41.

Consumers lacked confidence in the economy and postponed purchases. Pent-up demand for new vehicles will boost car sales worldwide in the next half decade, because sales in developed markets should return to normal levels. Sales will be strongest in the short term as dealers push sales to clear their stock backlog. However, new forms of car rental, leasing and sharing in developed markets will put some downward pressure on new sales. Companies such as DriveNow, Hailo, Liftshare, Sidecar and Uber enable easy and affordable rental and sharing of vehicles by using technologies such as smartphones, GPS, social networks, remote unlock, mobile payments, among others. The emergence of these dynamic carpooling businesses could affect sales in urban areas in particular where owning a car outright is less necessary than in rural and suburban areas, and where mobile network coverage is consistent. However, regulatory uncertainty is having an impact on these businesses. In the emerging Asia Pacific market, large populations, rapid economic growth, and a growing middle class will boost sales dramatically, from 26 million in 2014 to 82 million in 2024.
