Having recently notched up two noteworthy business listings, FleetCam is fast becoming a national benchmark for tech-led truck fleet management solutions. In 2025, the South African vehicle video telematics (VVT) specialist was recognised in both the Financial Times (FT)/Statista ‘Africa’s Fastest-Growing Companies’ list and News24’s ‘Growth Champions South Africa’ roundup.
In the FT/Statista 2025 list published in May, FleetCam clinched 52nd place in Africa, based on compound annual revenue growth (CARG) between 2020 and 2023. With a CARG of 57.3% and 289.4% absolute growth, FleetCam joins an elite group of 130 African firms that met strict criteria, including verified turnover exceeding US $1.5 million in 2023. Last year, FleetCam ranked #13 in the FT list.
In April 2025, News24, one of South Africa’s largest digital media platforms, in partnership with Statista, published its own feature on the country’s fastest-growing firms, naming FleetCam as one of the 2025 Growth Champions. Though no rankings were assigned, the inclusion adds weight to the company’s rising reputation across both national and continental landscapes.
These listings by FleetCam are significant. They reflect a deepening shift in how logistics is being digitised on the southern tip of Africa – and how FleetCam’s rise makes for a compelling case study.
Founded in 2014, FleetCam has focused squarely on the commercial road transport sector, offering tailor-made telematics that combine mobile digital video recorder (MDVR) technology, artificial intelligence (AI)-based analytics and live monitoring for fleet owners. More than just streaming dashcam footage to control room monitors, FleetCam enables full-spectrum fleet visibility, delivering driver behaviour insights, real-time alerts and post-incident forensics.
Notably, in a country where supply chains are under constant pressure from theft, road risk and cost volatility, that kind of intelligence is no longer a luxury but a base requirement.
International recognition despite economic headwinds
As South Africa’s fleet industry increasingly adopts automation, compliance and security solutions, the truck telematics market is growing at pace. International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts ongoing double-digit expansion in transport-focused Internet of Things (IoT) adoption across sub-Saharan Africa, with local players like FleetCam well-positioned to lead the charge.
It’s also a clear reminder that high growth isn’t confined to consumer app developers and fintech companies. Specialist, industrial-grade solutions like those supplied by FleetCam can and do generate the kind of scale and traction that wins international recognition, even in a sluggish economy.
So, here’s to another strong showing from a South African-born player in a tough but vital industry. Bravo, FleetCam – eyes on the road and more growth on the horizon!
