The global automotive hypervisor market size is expected to reach USD 1,617.4 million in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 27.0% from 2024 to 2030. The use of automotive hypervisor technology has increased owing to its growing demand in automotive production and vehicle parc. The upsurge in vehicle production is creating intense competition among the players, leading to high investments in research and development activities. The hypervisor technology offers various feature enhancements such as telematics, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and benefits such as security, infotainment, communication, and connectivity in vehicles.
The market is expected to gain momentum owing to advancements and innovation in virtualization technology. Hypervisor technology facilitates real-time communication between vehicle-to-vehicle & vehicle-to-environment. The use of increased number of ECUs and different network interface is leading to complexities in vehicle functionality. The use of gateways and electronic devices enable reliable and secure communication between a vehicle's electronic systems. A hypervisor maintains network functionality and offers improved communication for the same.
The use of hypervisor technology in vehicles increases the cost of production and hence, the technology is primarily featured in luxury vehicles. This is expected to drive the growth of the luxury vehicles segment over the forecast period. The unavailability of a strong data network leads to delay in information transfer and ADAS failure. ADAS failure further creates a delay in sharing information related to route, traffic jam, and obstacles. The hypervisor technology is used to share information in real time and hence, helps reduce accidents.
The major players in the market are collaborating with each other to improve the automotive hypervisor technology. For instance, in February 2019, Green Hills Software LLC announced a strategic partnership with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. This initiative was undertaken to leverage their individual strengths for enhancing embedded system security and safety while hastening growth for both companies.
Asia Pacific region dominated the automotive hypervisor technology market in terms of revenue in 2018 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are setting up production plants in the countries of this region owing to low labor and maintenance costs. This is expected to drive the growth of the Asia Pacific market.
One of the challenges faced by the market is the lack of standards related to automotive virtualization. Currently, the only regulation to be followed by the market players is ISO 26262, a functional safety standard that regulates electronic and electrical systems throughout the product development lifecycle, from development to decommissioning. The lack of cybersecurity standards across the globe is leading to issues related to hacking. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cybersecurity Framework (U.S.), EU's Regulation against Geo-IP-based blocking of EU member countries or economies (EU), and others have introduced cybersecurity standards.These standards are to be mandatorily followed by the automobile providers while manufacturing autonomous vehicles.
