[161 Pages Report] The global automotive hypervisor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 34.90% during the forecast period to reach USD 772 million by 2025 from an estimated USD 95 million in 2018. The hypervisor is an embedded technology that has been widely used for the in-vehicle infotainment application in the automotive industry. it is a hardware virtualization technology capable of running multiple virtual machines through Operating System (OS) on a host system.
The type 2 is anticipated to register largest growth during the forecast period in the automotive hypervisor market. The demand for Type 2 hypervisor from global automakers is high which makes it highly preferred virtualized technique. This hypervisor helps to run multiple virtual machines at a time in different operating environments providing the provision to open and close accordingly and make the resources free for the host hardware. Thus, Type 2 hypervisors are expected to witness incremental growth in the coming years for automotive applications. Type 2 architecture of the hypervisor encompasses 2 layers of multiple OS making it more suitable and preferred virtualized technology.
The virtualization technology is presently adopted in passenger cars and estimated to be the largest market in the vehicle type segment. The LCV segment is expected to be equipped with the technology by 2022 in the market study. The number of connected passenger vehicles is more compared to commercial vehicles installed with hypervisor technology, which has resulted in a greater market share. Also, connected passenger cars are expected to be the ultimate Internet of Things (IoT) in the coming years which further boosts the hypervisor market. A majority of in-vehicle systems and an increasingly wide range of external networks such as Wi-Fi, cellular, and the internet are driving the market for automotive hypervisor in the passenger car segment.
The luxury vehicle market is likely to be the largest growing segment for the automotive hypervisor market. Hypervisor technology mostly finds its application in luxury vehicles since its development cost is always higher. The luxury vehicles are equipped with advanced safety, comfort, and convenience features, making the embedded technology of the luxury vehicles more complex with large hardware content. Due to this factor, the market for virtualized technique is larger in high end cars. However, with the evolution of technology, the application of hypervisor is expected to rise in the economy class vehicles, as well, in the coming years.
The Asia Pacific region is estimated to be the largest automotive hypervisor market by 2025. The region comprises some of the fastest developing economies of the world such as China and India. The Asia Pacific region is the largest market for automotive due to the fact that the growing purchasing power of consumers has triggered the demand for automobiles in the region. Cost advantages for OEMs, low automobile penetration levels, and increased vehicle production offer attractive market opportunities for automobile manufacturers and automotive component suppliers. Also, due to the availability of cheap labor and low production cost, many major OEMs have launched production plants in the region or joined hands with major domestic vehicle manufacturers. This is also driving the demand for luxury passenger cars which is proven to be the lucrative market for hypervisor technology in the coming years.
The major automotive hypervisor market players include Mentor Graphics (US), Green Hills Software (US), Windriver System (US), Blackberry (Canada), Renesas (Japan), Sasken (India), Continental (Germany), Visteon (US), and NXP (The Netherlands). These companies have strong distribution networks at the global level. The key strategies adopted by these companies to sustain their market position are new product developments, collaborations, and contracts & agreements. For Instance, in January 2018, Green Hills software, announced the integration of u-blox automotive connectivity and positioning technology with the Green Hills Platform for Secure Connected Car. Such technology in the automotive embedded system helps to execute critical applications such as remote vehicle monitoring & control, electric vehicle management and regulatory reporting, eCall / bCall, telematics services, and ADAS data using hypervisor with less hardware content.

The study involved 4 major activities in estimating the current market size for automotive hypervisor. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across value chains through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications, India Electronics & Semiconductor Association, ARTEMIS Industry Association, European Automotive Research Partners Association (EARPA), Motor Industry Software Reliability Association, Association of European Suppliers for Automotive Software (AESAS), China Association Of Automoblie Manufacturers (CAAM)], automotive magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, technical articles, and databases (Marklines and Factiva) have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global automotive hypervisor market.
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the automotive hypervisor market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with the market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and component manufacturers across 4 major regions, namely, Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the rest of the World. Approximately 23% and 77% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand and supply side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject-matter expert’s opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the automotive hypervisor market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:
After arriving at the overall market size-using the market size estimation processes as explained above—the market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
