At the beginning of 2006 about 219 million passenger cars were registered in the EU23+2 area. The ultimate goal for the car telematics industry is to connect all these vehicles to mobile networks. Even though there are numerous potential applications for car telematics technology, only very few have so far proven commercially viable on the European market.

After the initial setbacks, the market is now rebounding thanks to offerings which are more focused on creating customer value than integrating new technology. Progress is made simultaneously at a national as well as at a European level. Motor insurance providers have been crucial for the relative success on the Italian market and also play important roles in other countries. The recent debate around eCall has raised the awareness of telematics within the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles.

The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  car telematics systems are beginning to gain momentum.

The aftermarket telematics service providers are primarily focusing on motor insurance related products. Octo Telematics (MetaSystem), Viasat and Nexo (Cobra AT), all companies of Italian origin, have attracted more than half a million users of telematics solutions that entitle to insurance premium rebates. Stolen vehicle tracking and recovery remains the foremost application, but Octo Telematics is also offering PAYD insurance in partnership with several major market players. Other markets with high level of activity include the UK and Benelux. Norwich Union, the largest motor insurer in the UK, launched a full commercial PAYD insurance product for consumers in October 2006. Similar, though less sophisticated, products are also available from other motor insurance providers in the UK and Ireland
