The automotive IoT market is expected to grow from USD 15.87 Billion in 2015 to reach USD 82.79 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 26.75% during the forecast period. The base year considered for the study is 2015, and the market size forecast is provided for the period between 2016 and 2022.

Objective of the Study:

• To define, describe, and forecast the global automotive IoT market on the basis of offering (components, software, services), connectivity form factor, communication type, application, and geography
• To forecast the market size, in terms of value and volume, for various segments with respect to four main regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW
• To provide detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges)
• To strategically analyze micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and contribution to the total market
• To analyze opportunities in the market for stakeholders by identifying the high-growth segments of the automotive IoT market and detail the competitive landscape for market players
• To map the competitive intelligence based on the company profiles, strategies of key players, and game-changing developments such as product developments, collaborations, and acquisitions

Research Methodology:

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the automotive IoT market begins with capturing data on key vendor revenues through secondary research such as Hoovers, Bloomberg Business, Factiva, and OneSource. The vendor offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall market size of the global market from the revenue of the key market players. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and sub-segments which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The market breakdown procedures and data triangulation were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of profiles of primary respondents is depicted in the figure below:

According to the MarketsandMarkets forecast, the automotive IoT market size, in terms of value, is expected to grow from USD 15.87 Billion in 2015 to USD 82.79 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 26.75% between 2016 and 2022. The consumers are seeking in-car mobile connectivity to make their journey a richer experience for which auto manufacturers and telecom vendors are spending heavily in R&D. Real-time traffic alerts and incident alerts, growing number of telematics mandates by various governments, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are some of the major factors driving the market.

This report segments the automotive IoT market based on offerings, connectivity form factors, communication types, applications, and geographical regions. The market is further segmented on the basis of geography into various countries. The infotainment application is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.

On the basis of connectivity form factor, the market is segmented into embedded, tethered, and integrated form factors. Embedded connectivity solutions provide vehicle-centric, high-reliability, and high-availability apps (such as eCall and breakdown call, or bCall, services) which is driving the embedded connectivity market.

In terms of communication type, in-vehicle communication accounted for the largest share in 2015. With the increase in infotainment and navigation applications inside the car, in-vehicle communication is growing rapidly in luxury as well as economy cars.

North America accounted for the largest share of the automotive IoT market in 2015. The U.S. is the major contributor to the growth of the market in North America. Presence of major companies such as Ford and General Motors who have been proving connectivity services is the major factor driving the market. However, the market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to huge demand for IoT-enabled cars from China and India.

Lack of cellular connectivity and privacy concern limit the use of IoT in automobiles. Due to the limited network connectivity on high-speed highways, the information and in-car services are not properly delivered to drivers. Additional cost burden on consumers by telecom service provider companies also limits the use of Internet for connected vehicles.

The major players in the automotive IoT market are Texas Instruments Inc. (U.S.), Intel Corporation (U.S.), NXP Semiconductors N.V. (Netherlands), TOMTOM N.V. (Netherland), IBM Corporation (U.S.), Cisco Systems Inc. (U.S.), Microsoft Corp.(U.S.), Thales SA (France), AT&T Inc. (U.S.), Vodafone Group (U.K.), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Google Inc. (U.S.), Apple Inc. (U.S.), General Motors (U.S.), Audi AG (Germany), Ford Motor Company (U.S.). General Motors (U.S.) is expected to hold the first position in manufacturing connected cars. The Company designs, manufactures, and markets cars, crossovers, trucks, and automobile parts worldwide. General Motors announced that its Onstar unit, in collaboration with AT&T (U.S.), would start providing the high-speed LTE network service in its vehicles manufactured in late 2014 and to be rolled out in 2015.
