In some parts of Africa vehicle tracking is becoming increasing competitive as the demand grows and the number of companies proving tracking grows with it. In Africa vehicle tracking is growing at alarming rate due to the high rate of vehicle theft.
Tracking is not helping to cut down on car crime, but it is helping to catch many people who do steel motor vehicles. Therefore many who can afford it are having the cars fitted with vehicle tracking.
Because of the competitiveness of the market, many are slashing prices and a price war is beginning to happen in the GPS vehicle tracking systems market in many countries within Africa.
Apart from competing on price many tracking companies are now including extra features with their vehicle tracking systems at no extra cost to the customer to help lure customers in and gain a competitive edge against their competitors.
Some hope that when enough people have vehicle tracking installed in their vehicles it will be able to put an end to car crime altogether, others are doubtful of this. Many think that while it may be able to lower the number of cars stolen, it is unlikely to stop car crime altogether as thieves will find new and ingenious ways to steel peoples cars.
