The largest consumer asset tracking segments today, based on the number of active units, are car tracking, kids GPS watches and pet tracking. The report estimates that the installed base of active consumer asset tracking devices in Europe and North America reached 12.5 million at the end of 2022.

The market for passenger car tracking solutions sold to consumers is led by Verizon, Mojio, Tail Light and Agnik in North America and Haysquare, Net4Things and the Plan B Company in Europe.

A few companies provide tracking solutions developed specifically for caravans, leisure boats and other consumer vehicles.
