Vehicle networking involves the exchange of data and information among diverse electronic systems within a vehicle, aiming to enhance vehicle functionality, safety, and efficiency by enabling seamless communication and data sharing between different systems.
The primary connectivity types within vehicle networking include Controller Area Network (CAN), Local Interconnect Network (LIN), Radio Frequency (RF), FlexRay, Ethernet, and Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST). CAN is a communication protocol facilitating serial communication among electronic devices within a vehicle. Vehicles encompass various types including Passenger Vehicles (PV), Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV), and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). These vehicle networking technologies find applications across various functions such as powertrain safety, body electronics, chassis systems, infotainment, and other vehicle functionalities.

This vehicle networking market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The vehicle networking market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.16 billion in 2024 to $1.25 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising complexity of vehicle systems, rise of intelligent transportation systems (its), increased consumer demand for connectivity, 5g connectivity implementation, emergence of electric and hybrid vehicles.
The vehicle networking market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5g connectivity implementation, autonomous vehicle development, cybersecurity concerns, smart city integration, environmental sustainability initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of over-the-air (ota) updates, growing ecosystem of connected services, shift toward electrification and autonomous vehicles, emphasis on standardization and interoperability, integration of edge computing.
The growing demand for autonomous vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the vehicle networking market. Autonomous vehicles, characterized by their ability to navigate and operate without human intervention, are gaining traction in the vehicle networking sector. These vehicles contribute to improved safety, efficiency, and convenience for both drivers and passengers. For instance, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., a Japanese automotive manufacturer, reported in September 2022 that 55% of small businesses anticipate having a fully autonomous fleet within the next two decades. This rising demand for autonomous vehicles is a significant driver for the vehicle networking market.
The rise in automobile production is projected to drive the growth of the vehicle networking market. Automobile production involves the manufacturing of various vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and other motor types. As vehicle production ramps up, there are more opportunities to integrate advanced connectivity features into automobiles. This encompasses technologies such as telematics, infotainment systems, and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, all of which are components of vehicle networking. For example, a report by ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association), a Belgium-based organization representing the automobile industry, indicated that global vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, marking a 5.7% increase from the previous year. Thus, the growing demand for automobile production is fueling the vehicle networking market.
Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the vehicle networking market. Key players in the market are increasingly focusing on technological innovations to maintain their competitive edge by adopting new technologies. For example, in 2023, Chevrolet, a US-based automobile manufacturer, introduced the $30,000 Equinox EV, aimed at making electric vehicles more accessible to a broader audience. This model is built on GM's Ultium platform and boasts an estimated range of up to 300 miles, combining advanced technological features with a competitive price to attract budget-conscious consumers seeking sustainable transportation options.
Major companies in the vehicle networking market are concentrating on product development and launches, including automotive Ethernet switch firmware, to maintain their market position. Automotive Ethernet switch firmware is software designed to facilitate secure and high-performance communication within vehicles. For instance, in February 2022, NXP Semiconductors, a Netherlands-based semiconductor firm, launched the S32G Vehicle Integration, which aims to enhance the performance and security of automotive applications. This advanced processor enables high-speed data processing and communication for critical vehicle functions, supporting applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity. The S32G platform is designed to accelerate the development of next-generation vehicle architectures that consolidate multiple functionalities within a single chip, thereby optimizing design efficiency and cost for automotive manufacturers.
In August 2022, Nexar, a US-based provider of powered dash cams, successfully acquired Veniam, a fellow US-based software company specializing in vehicle networking services. Through this strategic acquisition, Nexar aims to fortify its position by providing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with an advanced platform, fostering the rapid integration of data-rich mobility applications. The acquisition is anticipated to enhance Nexar's capabilities and offerings in the dynamic field of connected vehicle solutions.
