North America to Surge Ahead Owing to Large-scale Deployment across Industries

Region-wise, the global warranty management systems market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. Owing to the progress of the manufacturing sector, North America dominated the global warranty management systems in 2013 and is likely to maintain a strong hold over the market during the forecast period. The growth of the warranty management systems market in North America can be attributed to the incorporation of advanced technologies across several end-user industries in the region. Sectors such as defense, aerospace, healthcare, and automotive are the key consumers of warranty management systems in North America.

Cost Optimization to Act as Key Growth Driver

Warranty management systems still remain as an underutilized resource across several industries. According to a TMR analyst, "If utilized efficiently, warranty management systems can yield benefits such as improved cash flow, cost saving, improved quality of products, and enhanced customer satisfaction." As manual warranty management is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, many industries are shifting towards the adoption of warranty management systems. Furthermore, the rise in the number of products manufactured every year has stirred the global warranty management systems market. The progress of the market is directly proportional to the number of units produced per year. Enhanced awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of warranty management systems is further expected to drive their adoption across the globe.

High Installation Cost to Impede Sales

Although warranty management systems are gaining popularity across several sectors, their deployment is still slow due to the high initial cost incurred during purchase and installation. The initial investment cost ranges from US$150,000 to US$1 mn. In addition, a lack of skilled labor to operate the systems is expected to challenge the growth of the market over the next couple of years. However, manufacturers of warranty management systems can make the most out of the popularly accepted benefits of warranty management systems, such as customization of lengthy data.
