Automotive Operating Systems Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Rising Investment in Automotive Industry – The better investment influx is expected to drive automotive technology, and it is expected to surge the growth of the market in the upcoming years. To further the development of mobility technologies in fields including autonomous driving, robotics, and AI. By 2025, the investment in the global auto industry will reach over USD 325 billion in electric vehicles.
  • Growing Usage of IoT in Automobiles- The connectivity to gadgets within the car as well as to the infrastructure along the road is directly influenced by the operating system of the car. Hence, it is projected to increase the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2021, nearly 237 million cars were connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) across the globe, moreover it is expected that by 2025, around 400 automobiles are likely to be connected.

Challenges

  • Rising Complexity in the Automobile System– Earlier, designing a vehicle’s software was easier as a dedicated connection was frequently used to connect a sensor and an actuator to the software, which was frequently run from a single computer.
    However, with the rise in the number of features in cars, the automobile has become more complex. In addition, some vehicles come equipped with over 100 electronic control units (ECUs) to support ADAS and other features. Moreover, the integration of software and mechanical necessitates has become even more difficult.
  • Lack of Standard Protocols to Develop Software Platforms
  • Shortage of Skilled Engineers
