The Global Automotive Human Machine Interface (HMI) Market is Forecast to Reach US$536.6 Million by 2022

Continuous Electronic & Digital Innovation Inside the Automobile Creates Strong Demand for Intelligent Automotive Human Machine Interface, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Automotive Human Machine Interface (HMI) market. The global Automotive Human Machine Interface (HMI) market is forecast to reach US$536.6 million by 2022, driven by the integration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle information systems (IVIS), sensor data explosion, driver-vehicle environment monitoring modules, growing in-vehicle use of nomadic devices, all of which enhance the need for driver-vehicle interaction.

A broad range of technology forces are contributing significantly to the complexity of the driver’s operating environment in a vehicle. Technology incursion into the automobile has been radical over the last decade. The automobile has transformed from a simple transportation machinery into a smart, and connected self-aware piece of engineering marvel capable of anticipating a driver's personal preferences, changing traffic conditions and possible impediments and risks to the vehicle and its occupants. Electronification of automotive subsystems, engineering success of X-by-Wire technologies, intelligent driver assistance technologies, in-vehicle infotainment, advanced communication capabilities in vehicles such as in-car Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), Integrated GNSS and automotive Ethernet are playing instrumental roles in pushing information closer to the driver. The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), M2M communications, intelligent transportation technologies (ITS) like Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) & Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications, is also resulting in the integration of intelligence both inside and outside the car. While all of these technologies help improve road safety, reduce driver stress and enhance driver comfort and convenience, a poorly designed Human Machine Interface (HMI) can undermine these benefits by eliciting unsafe driver behavioral responses to the technologies inside the car.

HMI in modern vehicles are rapidly migrating to driver focused systems given the growing number of distractions that complicate the driver’s role inside the vehicle. For instance, multitasking inside a car is becoming increasingly ubiquitous despite the growing clamor over the perils of distracted driving. As more real-time information flows towards drivers inside the car, HMI systems need to be intuitive and hands free for safe and smart interaction. Several technologies are making headway in this space including natural language interaction, head-up displays with wider field of view, dual view displays, hands free solutions i.e. gesture, finger writing, voice biometrics, etc. Future growth in the automotive HMI market will come largely from integrated and adaptive HMI that reduces the risk of distracted driving. Automotive HMI technology is rapidly evolving from limited personalization features, isolated management of information to adaptive information management, workload balancing, cloud based personalization and safe integration of external devices.

As stated by the new market research report on Automotive Human Machine Interface (HMI), Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide. The region is also forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 7.1% over the analysis period, led by factors such as growing population, rising disposable incomes, increasing per capita car ownership rates, digitalization of lifestyles, disturbingly high technology-induced distracted driving and the resulting legislation of stringent safety regulations that force auto OEMs to invest significantly in next-generation HMI designs and architecture.

Major players in the market include Alpine, Atmel Corporation, Altran UK, Clarion, Continental AG, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Delphi Automotive PLC, DENSO Corporation, EAO AG, Elektrobit, Gracenote Inc., Harman, Immersion Corporation, Adient, Loquendo S.p.A, Luxoft, Magneti Marelli S.p.A, Nippon Seiki Co., Ltd., Nuance Communications Inc., Panasonic Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbH, Valeo, Visteon Corporation, and VoiceBox Technologies, Inc., among others.
