Growing Commercial Value of Innovations that Make Driving Safer & Sustainable Spurs Global Opportunities for Connected Car Solutions, 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 Connected Car Solutions market. The global market for Connected Car Solutions is forecast to reach 247.7 million units by 2024, driven by the growing focus on connected car services by auto OEMs as they evolve into original mobility service provides to ensure differentiation in a saturated industry; changing transportation technology, new mobility needs and social trends and growing commercial value of innovations that make driving safer & sustainable.

Connected cars are defined as cars integrated with multiple sensors and with access to the internet, in a manner that enables them to send and receive signals, sense and interact with the environment around them. The impact of connected cars will be felt in the three broad areas of In-Vehicle Communication, Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication, and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication. Connectivity, in this regard, will be deployed through Infotainment, Navigation and Telematics.  The automotive industry is currently witnessing the refreshing emergence of new revenue streams and business models coming from smart vehicles and their related infrastructure. Automotive manufacturers are increasingly focusing on leveraging IoT to deliver, market-driven differentiated vehicles and automotive services for a growing base of technology savvy consumers with complex information and connectivity needs.

A key factor driving the need to connect vehicles to the Internet is the digitalization of modern consumer lifestyles. Other forces responsible for the growth of the automotive industry as a major microsystem of IoT include safety, reliability, entertainment, and changing intelligent transportation needs. As the value chain of connected car ecosystem expands in the coming years, in-vehicle IoT strategy will emerge to achieve critical importance across all participants in the value chain. Connected cars and intelligent transportation will piggy back on IoT infrastructure, architecture, computing, storage, and networking platform. Public, private (OEM) and enterprise clouds will emerge as channels for delivery of connected car services, while mobile Wi-Fi (3G/4G), WiMAX, femtocells, and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) roadside infrastructure and Ethernet-based Central Vehicle Gateway, will offer the connectivity required for connected vehicle evolution.

The global automotive industry which witnessed strong recovery gains post the 2007-09 recession, is now beginning to slow down having exhausted all opportunities for new sales growth, especially so in developed markets. With the average age of vehicles on road during the year 2010 averaging between 10 to 11.5 years, millions of cars were due for replacements, a key reason for the strong growth witnessed during the 2011 through 2016 period. Currently, however new opportunities for car replacements are falling. The industry has reached a fair level of saturation with consumers’ appetite for new cars plateauing. Other major factors also playing instrumental roles in slowing down the industry’s growth include changing ideologies among the younger consumers about the social value of owning expensive cars; easy access to alternative forms of transportation; higher environmental consciousness; and the rise of the sharing economy and the resulting increase in car sharing and carpooling behavior. Car sharing is eating into the sales of new cars. In the U.S. especially the trend remains more prominent with car sharing businesses cannibalizing sales of over 650 thousand new vehicles per year. The rise of on-demand mobility and the massively growing base of recurring revenues in the auto industry which is forecast to surpass US$1 trillion by 2030, will drive demand for connectivity features in automobiles. Connected cars are pivotal to the changing value shifts in the world automotive industry. They are vital for enabling smart mobility services, vehicle telematics services, among numerous other intelligent services. Specifically they help enable ride sharing, car sharing, rental/leasing, consumer services such as traffic alerts, parking support, vehicle insurance payments, location based services, vehicle management services, support for advanced driver assistance systems, and cloud based services.

As stated by the new market research report on Connected Car Solutions the United States and Europe dominate the market with almost equal might. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 37.6% over the analysis period led by factors such as growing population; rising affluence and still untapped potential for new car sales in several emerging Asian countries; developing road and transportation infrastructure; and rapid growth and evolution of electronic automotive technologies. China is emerging as a key force for growth in the region with its massive automobile production structure and a robust domestic appetite for cars. The country is looking to export surplus automobiles produced into the international market. he domestic car market is rapidly moving from “first time vehicle buyers” to “mature second-time buyers with an appetite for premium cars with high-end digital features.
