Choose your perfect telematics partner in China with this comprehensive guide.

Around 20 vehicle manufacturers are either launching or planning OE telematics services in China over the next 3 years, addressing a growing consumer demand for connectivity. However, in doing so, vehicle manufacturers in China also face significant financial and strategic challenges in deciding which companies to partner with. Do you want to understand the telematics value chain in China and choose the right domestic partner? Look no further - SBD's new report provides all the information you need to succeed in this complex market.

This report details partnerships forged by domestic and international vehicle manufacturers with Telematics Service Providers (TSPs) such as China Unicom, Navinfo and 95190. To help you create your partnership strategy, the different types of TSPs emerging in China are analysed with case studies and clear explanations of their strengths and weaknesses.

This report will help you to:

• Set a competitive benchmark by understanding the value chains for telematics services of leading vehicle manufacturers
• Increase your understanding of the complex telematics value chain in China and minimise risk by analysing the strengths and weaknesses of different types of TSPs
• Choose the right partner by identifying existing partnerships between leading vehicle manufacturers and local TSPs
• Gain SBD's recommendations on tackling the telematics market in China and maximise your chances of success

Those international TSPs with experience in providing services to vehicle manufacturers have significant challenges in gaining the necessary licences while the domestic players that can get licences have very little experience of providing the automotive industry with telematics services. The early adopters such as GM and Toyota have overcome this obstacle by establishing their own in-house capabilities. However, this strategy is expensive and not appropriate for all vehicle manufacturers, and it will become increasingly difficult in China as the government becomes more active in enforcing its regulatory and licensing requirements.

Companies Mentioned:

• China Unicom
• 95190
• NavInfo
• Neusoft
• Pateo
• CTMS
• EMapGo
