Stolen vehicle recovery

This article is about the industry and practice of recovering stolen vehicles. For other uses, see Telematics.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) is an industry that combines technology and coordinated services to locate and retrieve stolen vehicles. At its core, SVR relies on in-vehicle telematics hardware that communicates vehicle location data to a central software platform, enabling real-time tracking and swift coordination with law enforcement. The global market for these services, valued at over USD 27.5 billion in 2023, is projected to reach nearly USD 45 billion by 2032, driven by persistently high vehicle crime rates and technological advancements.

The practice of SVR is a direct response to the high volume of vehicle thefts. In the United States alone, over one million vehicles were reported stolen in 2023. This has created strong demand for both factory-installed (OEM) and aftermarket recovery systems. The installed base of active aftermarket telematics units, a large portion of which are dedicated to SVR, is forecasted to grow from 87.7 million in 2023 to 135.1 million globally by 2028.
