Automotive HMI Industry Trends:

Technological Advancements

Substantial expansion in the automotive industry and the rising preference for customized in-vehicle digital systems and autonomous automobiles are primarily driving the growth of the market. Moreover, various market players are integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in automotive HMIs to enhance the interaction between the driver and the vehicle through more intuitive and predictive interfaces, which is further propelling the automotive HMI market share. For instance, in January 2024, US-based Synaptics, a leader in human-machine interface (HMI) and software solutions, supplied its touch-and-display integration (TDDI) driver for the latest range of vehicles from Tata Motors. The homegrown automotive giant introduced brand-new infotainment systems and digital instrument clusters in its updated Nexon, Harrier, and Safari models. This collaboration marks a significant enhancement in the user interface and technology integration in Tata Motors' new vehicle lineup. Furthermore, in December 2023, the Gen 3 HMI design jointly developed by Tata Motors and Tata Elxsi won the German Design Award. Tata Motors Gen 3 HMI, crafted by Tata Elxsi, represents a futuristic digital cockpit experience designed primarily for Electric Vehicles (EV) and then thoughtfully adapted for Internal combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles.

Increasing Preference for Autonomous Vehicles

The growing need for safer and more efficient driving systems is bolstering the demand for semi-autonomous vehicles. Moreover, features that semi-autonomous vehicles provide, such as parking assistance and traffic jam assist, appeal to consumers looking for a more comfortable and less stressful driving experience. In response to this, various key market players are increasingly integrating automotive HMIs with autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles to facilitate an effortless and safe driving experience, which is further augmenting the automotive HMI market demand. For instance, in April 2021, Beijing Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd launched the new Tucson L, a compact crossover SUV. The vehicle is built on the i-GMP platform, and it is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine (maximum power output of 147 kW, peak torque of 253 Nm), mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The vehicle features the Hyundai Smart Sense system, which includes 23 safety and assistance functions and supports Level 2 autonomous driving. Moreover, the escalating demand for semi-autonomous vehicles on account of their fuel efficiency is also creating a positive outlook for the automotive human machine interface (HMI) market.

Growing Adoption of ADAS for Fleet Management

Light commercial vehicles are increasingly adopting ADAS solutions to enhance fleet safety and efficiency. Features such as blind spot detection and electronic brake assist contribute to accident prevention and improve overall operational safety. Moreover, the increasing cases of fatal road accidents are also augmenting the need for ADAS-integrated vehicles, which in turn is creating a positive outlook for the automotive HMI market. For instance, a total of 4,61,312 road accidents have been reported by States and Union Territories (UTs) during the calendar year 2022, which claimed 1,68,491 lives and caused injuries to 4,43,366 persons. Moreover, ADAS technology helps cut maintenance costs. It helps with brake wear and tear and tires relative to the vehicle operating more smoothly. The European Union applied the Vehicle General Safety Regulation, introduced a range of mandatory advanced driver assistant systems to improve road safety, and established the legal framework for the approval of automated and fully driverless vehicles, which will be applied to all new vehicles from July 2024 onwards. Such an increasing adoption of ADAS is anticipated to positively impact the automotive HMI market outlook in the coming years.
