Market Dynamics

Global Connected Motorcycle Market Drivers

  • Surge in the Trend of Connectivity Solutions in Vehicles

Over time, smartphones have changed what it means to be connected. People want to stay in touch with the outside world even when traveling. Now that connectivity is more critical than ever, vehicle companies are using connectivity solutions to boost sales. People expect their vehicles to be able to do things like computers and smartphones. Adding connectivity features to a vehicle has become essential for automakers. Modern motorcycles have a lot of ways to connect to the Internet that need to be connected to the Internet to work. Leading automotive manufacturers are also putting connectivity systems in motorcycles so they can know everything about how people move. 

For example, in May 2019, Telefonica, a company that makes phones, added a connected device to Honda motorcycles that make it possible to track their location in real-time. Also, the connected device has a GPS, a SIM card, and an accelerometer to get all the data it needs about movement. Additionally, in case of an emergency or accident, the GPS in the motorcycle sends the exact coordinates so that the medical team can get there as quickly as possible. Therefore, the growth of the connected motorcycle market is driven by the rising popularity of connectivity solutions in vehicles.

  • Increased Safety Features Provided with Connected Motorcycles

Connected motorcycles have a very advanced system that reads the roads and alerts the riders about traffic, potholes, construction, obstacles, road curves, etc. The Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC) is a group of manufacturers, suppliers, researchers, and others working to make motorcycles part of connected mobility. CMC is also working on motorcycles to make them safer for riders by preventing accidents on the road. 

One of the primary jobs of a connected motorcycle is to warn the rider when there is a chance of danger. For example, a safety feature on a connected motorcycle called motorcycle approach indication (MAI) lets the rider know when another motorcycle is coming up behind him, even if the rider cannot see it. Also, a traffic jam warning (TJW) lets the rider know that a traffic jam is coming up, so the rider can choose a different route or slow down to avoid it. Therefore, the growth of the market is likely to be helped by the number of features connected motorcycles offer.

Global Connected Motorcycle Market Restraints

  • Alarming Threat of Data Hacking

Connectivity technology in motorcycles should improve traffic flow and keep riders safer, but they could also be a target for hackers and cybercriminals. Cyberattacks are becoming more likely because communications and software interfaces are getting more complicated. Also, it is crucial to have suitable safety measures and strong and effective cyber security solutions because cyber breaches can lead to personal data loss, make vehicles less safe, or even cause accidents. 

Connected motorcycles use GPS services to find locations and provide accurate guidance. Anyone can access the data from the GPS satellites because it is in the public domain. Hackers can also change the GPS data to make vehicles go in the wrong direction or control where they go. This makes it hard for the rider to feel safe and secure. Therefore, the threat of data hacking will likely slow the growth of the market for connected motorcycles.

  • Lack of Seamless Connectivity Infrastructure

Connected motorcycles use the Internet to link systems and services both on the motorcycle and away from it. This lets the rider access the motorcycle's data and enjoys a smoother ride. The vehicle's human-machine interface, warning sensors, and data transfer are still in the early stages of development on the connected motorcycle. Also, the main goal of a connected motorcycle is to keep the rider in touch with the outside world. To do this, the rider must always have access to the Internet, even when moving. 

Consumers expect their motorcycles to do things like their computers and smartphones. However, the connected motorcycle may not be as helpful if it cannot always stay connected to the Internet. This stoppage is mainly caused because service providers' networks are not always the same in different areas. Therefore, the growth of the market is held back by the lack of seamless and uniform connectivity infrastructure.

Global Connected Motorcycle Market Opportunities

  • Incorporation of 5G Connectivity to Power the Connected Mobility Creates Widescale Market Opportunities

After 2G, 3G, and 4G, 5G is the fifth generation of mobile networks and the new global standard for wireless connections. The 5G network offers a new kind of network that connects everything and everyone, including objects, machines, and devices. Adopting 5G in connected mobility makes communication more reliable and makes smart cities and connected motorcycles safer. It also reduces latency by about one millisecond over the air, making devices more responsive to requests. The 5G technology is expected to positively affect the economy.

For example, a 5G Automotive Association study found that deploying Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) could give Europe about €43 million by 2035. Most of these benefits would come from improved road safety and traffic flow. So, adding 5G connectivity to power-connected mobility would be an excellent way for companies in the global market to grow.
