3. TomTom (the Netherlands) and HERE Technologies (the Netherlands) are the Key Players in the HD Map for Autonomous Vehicles Market

The HD maps for autonomous vehicles market, by value, is estimated to be USD 1.4 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 16.9 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 31.7% from 2021 to 2030. The key factors that drive this market include the increasing investment by OEMs and tier-1 suppliers into HD mapping companies and collaboration between various HD mapping companies to offer a standardized HD map product across all regions. The HD map market is dominated by global players such as TomTom (the Netherlands), HERE Technologies (the Netherlands), NVIDIA (US), Waymo (US), and NavInfo (China). A large number of startup companies such as Fixposition (Switzerland), Point One Navigation (US), Geo Digital (Canada), and CivilMaps (US) also has increased the competition in this market space.

OEMs across the globe are investing in the development of autonomous vehicles. Although level 5 fully autonomous vehicles are not expected to be commercially available until 2025, many of the associated technologies have already been developed, and thousands of patent applications have been filed to secure the intellectual property rights. In November 2018, the European Patent Office (EPO) released a report which stated the annual patent applications relating to Self-Driving Vehicles increased by more than 330% compared with 2011, a growth rate that is more than 20 times faster than that for patent applications in general at the EPO in the same period.
