Automotive Electronics Industry Overview

The global automotive electronics market size was valued at USD 262.60 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing integration and implementation of advanced safety systems such as automatic emergency braking, airbags, parking assistance systems, and lane departure warning to decrease road accidents is expected to favor demand over the forecast period. Moreover, features such as emergency call systems, alcohol ignition interlocks, and accident data recorder systems are rapidly adopted to safeguard in-vehicle passengers and are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles is driving the demand for automotive electronics. Many people are switching from fuel ignited vehicles to electrics vehicles, and this is increasing the demand for systems. It has increased the demand for battery management systems and electric powertrains of electric vehicles. However, apart from the growing demand for electric vehicles, government regulations and funding have also impacted positively the automotive electronics market growth.

Detailed Segmentation:

Component Insights

Current carrying devices segment led the market and accounted for 40.2% in 2023.Current carrying devices are essential components in the automotive industry, as they transmit electrical power and signals throughout the vehicle's electrical system. The demand for current-carrying devices in the component segment is due to the high cost and numerous electronic components used in vehicles, including switches, fuses, connectors, and wiring harnesses.

Application Insights

The safety systems segment accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2023. The demand for efficient, safe, convenient driving experiences and stringent safety regulations is rising. Manufacturers such as Continental AG, DENSO Corporation, Infineon Technologies AG, and Robert Bosch GmbH are developing safety systems vehicles to cater to the increasing demand for light and heavy commercial vehicles. Factors such as increasing focus on vehicle safety and the rising number of road accidents contribute to the segment's growth. For instance, in March 2023, Hyundai Motor India Limited launched its new Hyundai Verna with a level 2 ADAS system and 65 advanced safety features, and many others. The new Verna would also feature Hyundai’s Smart Sense safety features that would get automated sensing technology with radars, cameras to detect obstacles, and sensors on the road and assist in corrective warnings and actions.

Sales Channel Insights

The OEM segment led the market in 2023. This dominance can be attributed to the increased durability and shelf-life of electronic components. Since electronic components form an integral part of the vehicles, consumers prefer buying them through OEMs in order to obtain genuine parts. Furthermore, with the increase in the design complexity of these electronic components, aftermarket electronic components are expected to account for a lower revenue share over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

The automotive electronics market in North America is expected to register a considerable growth rate from 2024 to 2030. The region is home to several Automotive Electronics companies that are implementing partnership and collaboration initiatives to grow their demographic presence. For instance, in January 2023, U.S. based automotive electronics supplier, announced technology collaboration with semiconductor and software manufacturer Qualcomm for developing advanced automotive cockpit domain controller which is designed to enable automotive companies’ modern cockpits. Through this partnership, the companies are helping the automotive industry to transform to a more intelligent, customized vehicle experience.
