Short-term growth rates point to fast adoption, while longer-term forecasts show the market continuing to expand through the decade.
Key numbers and near-term forecast
The analysis projects a year-over-year compound annual growth rate of 13.7% for 2024–2025. Over a longer window, the market is expected to reach $7.49 billion by 2029, with an average CAGR of 13.4% through 2029. The release also noted that there were 573 press releases posted in the last 24 hours and 365,358 in the last 365 days, reflecting heavy information flow in the sector.
Why the market is growing
The report links recent and expected growth to several practical needs and trends in construction and rental fleets:
- Real-time equipment monitoring to track location, usage and health.
- Pressure to cut operating costs and improve jobsite efficiency.
- Efforts to reduce downtime through better scheduling and maintenance.
- Rising construction activity in developing economies and expanding infrastructure programs.
- Greater focus on asset utilization and measurable productivity.
Forecast drivers and tech trends
For the coming years the report highlights demand for predictive maintenance tools, wider adoption of cloud-based fleet systems, and growing use of data analytics to shape operational choices. Technological advances expected to drive adoption include:
- Telematics and IoT integration for richer machine data.
- AI-supported fleet analytics for forecasting and optimization.
- Investment in cloud infrastructure and cross-platform solutions.
- Mobile app-based fleet control for on-site access.
- Tracking of rental equipment to streamline mixed fleets.
Market structure and segments
The market is split across software and services, with deployment models including cloud-based, on-premise, and hybrid options. Functionality segments include equipment tracking and monitoring, maintenance and repair management, fuel management, compliance and performance reporting. Software subtypes include asset tracking, fuel management, maintenance scheduling, route optimization, driver behavior monitoring and equipment utilization analytics. Service offerings cover implementation, consulting, support, training and managed services.
Infrastructure expansion and a supporting data point
The expansion of roads, utilities and communications is identified as a major future driver. As an example of rising infrastructure investment, national statistics showed total infrastructure sector investment reached £20.3 billion in 2024, a 16.9% increase over the prior year, indicating a stronger demand environment for fleet tools that help improve machine uptime and productivity.
New product examples and industry moves
Manufacturers and software vendors are launching tools designed for mixed-brand fleets and rental yards. One new fleet management system introduced in spring 2025 allows contractors and rental firms to collect machine locations, performance metrics and dashboards across brands and to access that information on phones and tablets in many languages. Market players are focusing on open data views, comparison tools and reporting across mixed equipment fleets.
