By making accurate decisions and assisting the driver, automotive IoT reduces accident risks and simplifies driving. Other features of automotive IoT include predictive maintenance, which prevents vehicles from further damage. Increasing technological advancements have led automobile manufacturers to embed technologies, such as IoT, into their products. With the implementation of IoT in automotive market, transportation efficiency and management capabilities have increased. Connected cars and automated transport systems are just two of the growing applications that make up the IoT in the global automotive industry.

Global IoT in Automotive Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Expanding Production of Automotive

The automotive industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world due to the growing sales of automobiles and increasing demand for OEM technologies. This is expected to fuel the demand for IoT in automotive in the upcoming years. The manufacturers of developed economies, such as North America, focus on the early adoption of advanced technologies to gain the upper hand in the market. OEMs in emerging economies like China and India are expanding their production capacities to meet growing demand. As a consequence, IoT will likely drive the demand in automobiles throughout the forecast period.

Launch Of 5G Networks and Increasing Penetration of Cloud

IoT is a network of interconnected digital devices and, therefore, is completely cellular network-dependent. With the launch of 5G networks, the interconnectivity of devices will increase, which will lead to better data transmission and receiving. Furthermore, the growing adoption of the cloud and the emergence of new cloud data centers will also provide lucrative growth opportunities for expanding the storage of data generated by the Internet of Things. The cloud offers better scalability with limited resources, which will boost IoT adoption for the automotive industry.

Restraints

Increased Risk on Data Privacy

The IoT solutions and services generate a great deal of data to predict and make decisions. Data generated is transferred either on personal devices like smartphones or through cloud services. This exposes the users’ data to potential cyberattacks and thefts, a major restraining factor for the global IoT in automotive market. The cases of malware attacks are very common in IoT applications, and despite the devices offering advanced in-built security features, these are not sufficient to protect data.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global IoT in Automotive Market

The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 tremendously halted the growth of the global IoT in automotive market. As the countries imposed strict lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus, the manufacturing of automobiles was completely restricted. Following the COVID-19, even after the restrictions were loosened, the shortage of body parts and a shortage of workers led to a halt in automotive production. This resulted in a sharp drop in the demand for IoT automotive during this period, causing huge losses to the market.

Global IoT in Automotive Market - By Offering

Based on offerings, the global IoT in automotive market is segmented into hardware, software, and service. The software segment held the largest market share in 2020. AI and apps make up 90% of the software in self-driving cars, while the hardware make up only 10%. Over the forecast period, self-driving cars and improved mobile networks are expected to drive the software segment. On the other hand, since hardware in IoT is used to establish connectivity among different elements, its market is also growing rapidly.

Global IoT in Automotive Market - By Connectivity Form Factor

Based on the connectivity form factors, the global IoT in automotive market is segmented into embedded, tethered, and integrated. Among these, the embedded segment accounts for the largest market share. However, integrated connectivity is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period because of the increasing app integration in vehicles. Integrating vehicles with other devices and infrastructure is enabling enhanced connectivity, including capabilities like smart traffic routing of self-driving vehicles, which will improve roadway efficiency and increase demand for integrated connectivity.

Global IoT in Automotive Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global IoT in automotive market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle-East & Africa. North America dominates the global IoT in automotive market owing to the presence of major automobile manufacturers, such as General Motors (GM), Ford, Tesla, etc. Moreover, significant investment towards early adoption of advanced technologies also favors the market. A strong 4G network and growing penetration of 5G, which offers better connectivity among IoT components, are also expected to boost the region’s market growth during the forecast period.
