Automotive Operating Systems Market size was over USD 6.07 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to exceed USD 21.17 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing over 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of automotive operating systems is evaluated at USD 6.56 billion.
The reason behind the growth is impelled by increasing demand for smart autonomous and luxury vehicles. Smart autonomous and luxury vehicles integrate advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) which require automotive operating systems that can handle safety functionalities and provide enhanced user experience.
In 2021, there were over 5% of premium and ultra-luxury automobiles that were battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across the globe.
The growing demand for more safety features is believed to fuel the market growth. To reduce accidents and attain zero fatalities customers are gravitating more and more towards safety features which increased the demand for automotive operating systems since they improve the advanced braking system of the car and provide better coordination to ADAS features.

Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicle, Commercial Vehicle)
The passenger vehicle segment is estimated to account for 55% share of the global automotive operating systems market in the coming years owing to the increasing sales of modern passenger cars across the globe as a result of rising per capita income and a sizable youth population, which will lead to increased demand for advanced infotainment systems. These systems are dependent on automotive operating systems which support these advanced functionalities.
For instance, in 2021, more than 56 million passenger cars were sold around the globe of those over 3 million passenger cars were sold in the US, moreover, and close to 2 million were sold in Germany.
ECU Function (Powertrain, Body Comfort & Control, Infotainment, Communication, Safety & ADS)
Automotive operating systems market from the infotainment segment is set to garner a notable share shortly owing to rising demand for display units and GPS features in cars. A variety of features are offered by an in-car infotainment system that combines entertainment and information and connects the vehicle to the cloud. The three most popular operating systems for automotive infotainment systems are Android, Linux, and Windows which provide the software infrastructure and allow several components to work together.
Linux has supported various GPS hardware for years and Linux-based operating systems are commonly used for display units. In addition, Android and QNX are widely used operating systems that are utilized for display units and offer navigation features. For instance, 93% of individuals rely on GPS, and over a fifth of them use it daily in the United States.

APAC Market Statistics
Automotive operating systems market in the Asia Pacific, is predicted to account for the largest share of about 35% by the end of 2037 impelled by higher collaborations among companies to scale the operating system. For instance, Volkswagen announced a collaboration with auto chip start-up Horizon Robotics to invest around USD 2 billion in China’s automotive sector to develop specialized smart driving solutions. These collaborations in the region may drive innovation in automotive operation systems by providing the latest features to their customers.
Furthermore, by 2025 Japanese automaker, Toyota Motors aims to have its vehicle software platform in place and aims to collaborate with tech firms, rivals such as Tesla and VW to create the software that would power the upcoming generation of vehicles.
North American Market Forecast
The North America automotive operating systems market is estimated to be the second largest, during the forecast timeframe led by growing demand for electric vehicles. Owing to rising environmental concerns, there is an increasing demand for electric vehicles in North America, the vehicle production of fully electric vehicles reached over 6% of total vehicle production by the end of 2022. This as a result may rise the demand for automotive operating systems in the region as these systems primarily give data on the whereabouts and battery life of electric vehicles. In 2021, nearly 630,000 electric vehicles were sold in the United States, doubling their share to approximately 5%.
