Automotive Ethernet Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increasing Demand for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) - ADAS systems require high-speed and reliable communication networks to enable real-time data processing and decision-making. Automotive ethernet provide the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for these systems to operate effectively. According to significant automakers in Asia and the Pacific, the rising adoption of ADAS would necessitate more standardized cables and connectors to support the higher data rates.
  • Rising Demand for Automobiles - The demand for automotive ethernet solutions is further increased by incorporating cutting-edge solutions into connected automobiles, such as connected devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and technology. The total number of vehicles produced in the USA from January to September 2021 grew to 9.164 million units from 8.82 million units in 2020 during the same period, as notified by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. As a result, the automotive ethernet market will be driven by the rising demand for automobiles and the vital need for automotive ethernet.
  • Growing Use of Power Over Data Lines (PODL) - PoDL can sustain up to 500 mA of power, sufficient for some sensors like an improved satellite camera. As a result, the design can be made simpler and lighter for vehicle manufacturers by only needing to run one pair of wires to select sensors. Since the IEEE standard complied with requirements for vehicle EMI due to its slower data transmission (27MHz transfer speed compared to 62.5MHz for 100BASE-T), Broadcom started promoting it to the automotive industry.

Challenges

  • Increasing Weight and Complexity of Ethernet Cable Looms - One of the challenges in the industry is the need to add even more modern and luxurious elements to the car. Conventional in-vehicle networking has focused on particular application areas, such as FlexRay for complicated real-time communication subsystems and CAN and LIN for body controllers and comfort functions. Due to the high bandwidth requirements of video, cameras for reverse parking and other uses have been introduced via yet another technology, typically low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) solutions. The cable loom has expanded as various signaling and networking technologies are combined to add innovative and appealing features.
  • Inoperability Issue
  • Design and Development challenges

Automotive Ethernet Segmentation

 Automotive Ethernet Type (One Pair Ethernet, Energy-Efficient Ethernet, Power Over Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet)

The one pair ethernet segment in the automotive ethernet market is anticipated to garner the largest revenue share of 38% by 2037. Besides, the gigabit ethernet is the fastest growing segment in the market owing to increasing 5G connectivity demand and faster ADAS support system. Link weight is reduced by using a single pair of gigabit ethernets as a high-speed spine for 1TCPE traffic. Additionally, GIG-E serves as a direct connection between the system spine and diagnostics, ADAS cameras, infotainment video, and other applications with data requirements greater than 100Mbps. The GIG-E technology supports 15 meters over unshielded vehicle cabling and complies with car framework EMC requirements. Additionally, GIG-E has an IEEE standardized standard gigabit ethernet MAC interface (SGMII/RGMII/GMII).

Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle)

Automotive ethernet market from the passenger car segment is expected to garner a significant share in the upcoming years. Factors attributing to the segment's growth are the growing demand for passenger cars across the globe and essential automakers turning towards automotive ethernet for connectivity modulation and customer needs for internet on wheels. According to OICA, around 56.4 million passenger cars were sold across the globe in 2021, accounting for 68.4% of global car sales. Moreover, by 2020, there were close to 400 million vehicle ethernet ports in use. The total number of automotive ethernet ports is anticipated to surpass all other ethernet ports by 2023.
