Global Connected Car Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The connected car market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.23% to reach US$359.146 billion in 2030 from US$149.026 billion in 2025.

Technological advancements, increased auto manufacturing, and rising consumer desire for luxury and comfort in cars are different key factors projected to contribute to the connected car market's expansion. The development of improved suspension systems and the rise in demand for lightweight suspension systems, however, are anticipated to offer the market a greater potential for expansion.

There has been a significant change in the Indian automotive market away from well-known brands like the Fiat Padmini Premium, HM Ambassador, and Maruti 800 towards those produced by foreign OEMs. The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) estimates that Maruti Suzuki held a 39.17% share in the nation in 2022 and sold 98,318 units at retail, while Hyundai constituted for 15.96% market share in the same year with 40,056 units. Additionally, Tata Motors declared intentions to invest US$3.08 billion in its passenger car over the following five years in April 2022.

Collaborations and product innovation by manufacturers are propelling the market. For instance, Cisco and TELUS announced the launching of new 5G capabilities in North America to serve IoT use cases across industry verticals. The network would serve as a foundation to support drive testing by a major North American automotive manufacturer's 5G Connected Car in February 2024.

Additionally, HARMAN announced the launch of the HARMAN Ready Connect 5G Telematics Control Unit (TCU) in February 2024, leveraging state-of-the-art Snapdragon Digital Chassis connected car technologies from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Based on the Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, HARMAN Ready Connect 5G TCU represented a significant advancement in automotive connectivity. Also, in February 2022, an Ultra Low-Latency Edge-Based Compute Platform for Turn-Key Connectivity, called HARMAN Savari MECWAVE, was introduced by HARMAN. Hazard alerts and other vehicle-to-everything (2X) communications, as well as high-throughput connection activities like interactive infotainment and video streaming, are deployed more quickly thanks to MECWAVE.

OEMs are creating software solutions for a more connected, individualized customer experience in addition to making cars. OEMs have the potential to develop new revenue streams and more continuing, direct interactions with their customers emerging from the auto industry's constant evolution.

Connected car market drivers

• Growing adoption of ADAS features in cars

The increasing de Consumer interest in autonomous and connected cars is growing, and throughout the projected period, these technologies are expected to become more widely accepted. Consumer behavior is significantly impacted by ADAS features like collision warning, lane assistance, blind spot recognition, etc. These features are intended to improve the performance of automobiles by decreasing vehicle downtime by advising the owner of any problems with the vehicle. End customers are willing to spend more money on the newest technologies like automated driver assistance systems (ADAS) that improve driving experiences and raise driver and passenger safety as a result of the growing technical breakthroughs in the automobile sector.

According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, by 2026, at least half of all registered vehicles will only have two ADAS systems. Around 71% of registered vehicles will have rear cameras by 2026, and 60% will have back parking sensors. However, just 17% of registered cars are projected to have adaptive cruise control with lane centering by 2026, and only 13% are likely to have adaptive lighting.

To overcome the challenges of creating advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), several technological firms are collaborating on the market. For instance, the cooperation between PATEO Corporation and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (Qualcomm) was expanded in June 2022 to include the development of solutions for vehicle intelligence, smart car connection, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), intelligent cockpits, and multi-domain fusion based on central controllers. Veoneer Inc., a leading provider of safety technology, will be acquired by Magna International Inc. in July 2021. To purchase Veoneer Inc., a major provider of automotive safety technologies, Magna International Inc. entered into a binding merger agreement with the firm. Magna sought to improve and expand its ADAS portfolio and sector position with this acquisition.
