Vehicle roadside assistance refers to a service helping the driver of a vehicle during the breakdown of the vehicle. Vehicle roadside assistance solutions provide on-site help to the owners or drivers with basic support. This basic support comprises misplaced or lost keys (lockout service), flat tire support, on-site minor mechanical and electrical repair, fuel delivery service, and battery jump start. It is simply an effort by professionals of the automotive industry to solve minor issues of a vehicle during a breakdown.
Europe to Emerge as a Prominent Region over the Forecast Timeframe, from 2022 to 2030
The global vehicle roadside assistance market is segmented into the principal regions of North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Considering region-based segmentation of the global vehicle roadside assistance market, it is likely that Asia Pacific is going to emerge as highly lucrative region during the timeframe of assessment, from 2022 to 2030.
The vehicle roadside assistance market is likely to observe considerable growth in Europe as well. There has a substantial rise in sales and vehicle registrations in Europe. With the increased number of automotives plying on the road, more breakdown could be observed, which is likely to stimulate growth of the Europe vehicle roadside assistance market during the tenure of assessment.
Apart increased sales of vehicles, extremely cold climatic conditions coupled with easy availability of such services on the roads of Europe, it is likely that market will register robust growth in forthcoming years.
Rise in Aging Automotive Stimulates Growth of the Market
A considerable rise in the aging automotive, which is more likely to witness breakdown on the roadways is expected to support growth of the global vehicle roadside assistance market in forthcoming years. Aging vehicles are prone to witness frequent mechanical and electrical problems and are more likely to demand this service. Furthermore, use of an app-driven services leads to quick response and minimization of response period for assistance. Such app-based services are likely to accelerate demand for vehicle roadside assistance solutions.
Increase in production of vehicles has resulted in road collisions and traffic jams, which has led to increased government effort to offer these services. This factor is likely to support expansion of the size of the global vehicle roadside assistance market in foreseeable future.
The global vehicle roadside assistance market is primarily driven by an increase in the number of aging vehicles, which are more likely to witness breakdown and several mechanical & electric issues, which in turn demands vehicle roadside assistance services. Moreover, surge in installation of app-based services has led to a reduction in response time for vehicle roadside assistance services, which in turn is propelling the global vehicle roadside assistance services market. Extreme weather affects millions of drivers across the globe, especially cold weather where frigid air causes electrochemical reactions in batteries of vehicles, which in turn drains battery power and leads to battery jumpstarts. Furthermore, icy and snowy terrain across several countries leads to treacherous driving conditions and is likely to increase the risk of fatal road accidents, which in turn demands vehicle roadside assistance services. Surge in vehicle sales and registrations across the globe has also led to an increase in road fatalities and vehicle breakdowns. Reduction in vehicle loan interest rates, easy availability of finance with customized financial schemes, and increase in per capita income of consumers are key factors driving vehicle sales and production. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the global vehicle roadside assistance market during the forecast period.
Higher cost of vehicle roadside assistance service during the pay per use service is a key factor restraining the global vehicle roadside assistance market. This is primarily due to labor and service charge rates, which are included in membership plans; however, they are charged in pay per use service. All services are offered by the service provider in terms of membership plan, which are considerably cost-effective, as it remains valid for one year and above; however, different vehicle roadside assistance service providers have different terms and conditions.
In terms of service, the towing service segment accounted for a major share of the global vehicle roadside assistance service market, in terms of revenue, generated in fiscal year 2018. Towing due to collision or breakdown comprises the most basic request for emergency road assistance. Therefore, the towing segment held a major share of the market. Demand for vehicle roadside assistance due to tire replacement arising due to tire burst, puncture, & loss of inflation, jump start/pull start, battery assistance, and lockdown/key replacement services was also notably high.
In terms of provider, the global vehicle roadside assistance market was dominated by the auto manufacturer segment, which is primarily attributed to an increase in preference of auto manufacturers to provide road assistance services as a part of warranty. Several vehicle manufacturers, such as Honda, are providing vehicle assistance services in several countries. Several other vehicle manufacturers such as General Motors, Hyundai, Toyota, Ford, and Mitsubishi are expected to provide roadside assistance services for vehicle owners and hence, the auto manufacturer segment is estimated to lead the global vehicle roadside assistance market during the forecast period.
Passenger vehicle was a highly attractive segment and held a prominent share of the vehicle roadside assistance market across the globe in 2018. Passenger vehicles are primarily covered under the auto manufacturers’ free warranty and hence, accounted for a notable share. The passenger vehicle segment is followed by the light commercial vehicle sub-segment. Moreover, truckers are purchasing roadside assistance in order to avoid operational losses, thus propelling the heavy commercial vehicle segment of the market.
Large number of on-road vehicles coupled with increase in sales across Europe has led to increase in number of vehicle breakdowns, which in turn drives the demand for vehicle roadside assistance services. Presence of premium vehicle manufacturers and availability of roadside assistance service providers are propelling the vehicle roadside assistance market in Europe. Raised per capita income, higher standard of living, consumer preference for lavishness, and increase in sales of premium vehicles are fueling the vehicle roadside assistance market in Europe. Demand for roadside assistance services is high in North America, which is primarily attributed to unfavorable weather across several areas, increasing number of aging vehicles, and preference for roadside assistance services by auto manufacturers. Moreover, the vehicle roadside assistance market in Asia Pacific is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for vehicles across the region coupled with increase in per capita income and availability of roadside assistance service providers.
