The installed base of active fleet management systems across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries and Turkey is expected to nearly double between 2025 and 2030, according to new research from Berg Insight, as connected fleet technologies continue to expand across commercial vehicle operations.
Fleet telematics is already one of the more established large-scale IoT applications, but adoption remains far from uniform across markets. In the Middle East, the competitive landscape is particularly shaped by strong domestic and regional providers rather than being dominated by the international telematics groups commonly found across multiple continents.
That dynamic emerges clearly from Berg Insight’s latest analysis of fleet management in the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Turkey. The analyst firm estimates that around 6.4 million active fleet management systems were deployed in commercial vehicle fleets across these markets at the end of 2025. The installed base is forecast to reach 12.5 million units by 2030, corresponding to a compound annual growth rate of 14.4 percent.
A fragmented market with strong regional players
One of the more distinctive aspects of the market is its relatively fragmented vendor structure. Berg Insight estimates that the ten largest providers together represent around half of active fleet management units in the region, while the five largest account for more than one-third. The GCC market is described as more fragmented than Turkey, and international providers have yet to establish an overwhelming presence across the region as a whole.
Turkey-based Arvento Mobile Systems and Mobiliz are ranked as the two largest providers by regional installed base. Both derive most of their deployments from their domestic market, although they have also expanded into markets including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
N2Mobil, AFAQY, Infotech and Seyir Mobil each have regional installed bases of at least 250,000 units, according to Berg Insight. N2Mobil, Infotech and Seyir remain primarily focused on Turkey, while Saudi Arabia-based AFAQY operates across several GCC countries and beyond.
The remainder of Berg Insight’s regional top ten comprises Uffizio, En Route Technologies, IoT Squared and Gurtam. Their profiles illustrate the diversity of routes into the market: Uffizio is an India-based provider with a particularly strong presence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE; En Route Technologies distributes Flotilla IoT in the region; IoT Squared is a Saudi joint venture between the Public Investment Fund and stc Group; and Lithuania-based Gurtam reaches Middle Eastern customers through partners offering its Wialon platform.
What the growth means for the IoT ecosystem
The forecast implies the addition of roughly 6.1 million active fleet management systems over five years. For the IoT ecosystem, that matters beyond the telematics software market itself. Every additional connected commercial vehicle potentially expands demand for cellular connectivity, telematics hardware, positioning technologies, device management and the cloud infrastructure used to collect and process vehicle and operational data.
There is also an important competitive implication. Because much of the market is currently held by domestic and regional specialists, growth does not automatically translate into consolidation around a handful of global fleet management platforms. OEMs, connectivity providers and system integrators entering these markets may therefore need to accommodate a comparatively diverse ecosystem of platforms, channel partners and locally established suppliers.
A second tier of providers is already operating at meaningful scale. Berg Insight identifies Saudi Tracking Solutions, Tracking, Tracer, Safee, TrackEazy and VZone International as each having estimated installed bases of at least 100,000 units in the region. Numerous other local and international vendors have deployments measured in the tens of thousands.
For IoT suppliers, the combination of double-digit installed-base growth and market fragmentation makes the GCC countries and Turkey notable telematics markets to watch through the end of the decade. The opportunity is not simply the projected volume of connected vehicles, but the breadth of regional providers through which connectivity, hardware and related IoT services may ultimately reach those fleets.
