Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Increased demand for enhanced user comfort, safety, and convenience
An increase in ADAS features in cars is the primary driver for the connected car market, as these features ensure enhanced levels of safety. Governments in various countries also focus on mandating various ADAS and safety features. There are various ADAS features mandated in Europe and the US. For instance, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) has been mandatory for all new vehicles sold in the EU since 2004, and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) became mandatory in 2014. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) has been mandatory for all commercial vehicles sold in the EU since 2015. Similarly, connected car features such as e-call have been mandatory in all new cars sold within the EU since April 2018. As governments mandate various ADAS and other safety-related connected car features, the overall demand for connected cars has increased.
RESTRAINTS: Lack of infrastructure for the proper functioning of connected cars
Due to limited network connectivity on highways, vehicles are not connected to each other and the cloud. In developing countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and India, IT infrastructure development on highways is slower than in developed economies. 3G and 4G-LTE communication networks are presently limited to urban and semi-urban areas. While several third-party logistics companies operate in semi-urban and rural areas, there are low connectivity issues. Therefore, the lack of IT and communication infrastructure in developing regions and lag in government norms can hamper the growth of the connected car market in these countries. Also, as providers of telecom services, industry players might become subject to country-specific telecom regulations, such as lawful intercept and in-country entity requirements. The interoperability of the various platforms and the cross-border use cases will have to be discussed and regulated. The reliance on data networks also raises the question of net neutrality, where internet service providers give some data transmission priority.
OPPORTUNITIES: Emergence of various technologies such as 5G and AI
The enhanced user experience for all connected cars depends on wireless connectivity. Many telecom industry players are developing 5G to increase the safety and efficiency of connected cars. According to the international 5G automotive associations, 68% of accidents can be avoided with the upcoming 5G technology. For instance, the EU and South Korea have signed a deal to work together on 5G development, while both promised USD 782 million and USD 1.5 billion in funding for local 5G projects. In the UK, USD 78 million of funding has been commissioned for a 5G research facility known as the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC). With the increasing use of sensors and other data technologies, AI will be key to making sense of everything. Some automobiles already use AI for Level 3 autonomous driving, but for the industry to reach Level 5, major enhancements must be made to the cars and the infrastructure.
CHALLENGES: Cybersecurity
Despite major developments in connected car technology, cybersecurity remains a major challenge. Connected cars comprise hardware, software, mobile apps, and Bluetooth, each vulnerable to cyberattacks. There are various instances where cybersecurity has created a nuisance. For instance, in 2015, Fiat Chrysler recalled around 1.4 million vehicles due to safety reasons. Hackers took control of the car's infotainment system, which was connected to the mobile data network. Security researchers demonstrated that hackers could control a Jeep Cherokee remotely using the car’s infotainment system connected to the mobile data network. Similarly, Tesla S and Nissan Leaf are also examples of the threat of cyberattacks that connected cars face.
The Asia Pacific connected car market is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific market is expected to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Currently, the penetration of connected cars in Asia is concentrated, with China expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. The market's growth is driven primarily by increasing vehicle safety and security norms, demand for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connectivity technology, and the incorporation of IoT in the automotive industry. Integration of 5G in vehicle models is expected to be a major factor driving the connected car market. For instance, in 2022, GM announced its plan to roll out 5G in the Chinese market. The 5G service will provide faster internet speeds over the OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi that it already offers in its vehicles. These faster upload/download speeds will enable over-the-air updates in more vehicles. They will also help new GM vehicles connect and communicate with other vehicles on the road (vehicle-to-vehicle) and the public road infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure). Since China is the largest automobile market, the growth in telematics adoption in China will strongly drive the telematics industry in APAC. The emergence of autonomous vehicle technology in the Asia Pacific market is one of the key trends increasing the demand for advanced connected car features. Also, the growing popularity of shared mobility and ride-hailing services is expected to boost the demand for connected car features in the Asia Pacific. Growing penetration of smartphone connectivity will also provide a strong boost to the market. Additionally, the increasing demand for aftermarket services through the renewal of connected car service subscriptions will drive the connected car services market in the coming years.
