Automotive Operating System Market Segmentation:
Type Segment Analysis
The QNX segment is anticipated to account for a automotive operating system market share of 38.2% by the end of 2035, owing to the support of the leading cluster UI frameworks and correlation with multiple hardware platforms. The use of the QNX operating system in severe applications, including cockpit controllers, in-vehicle infotainment, and ADAS features, is also bolstering the market growth. Different user-friendly and safety features, such as navigation, smartphone connectivity, and voice recognition, are also offered by the operating system, contributing to its market popularity. Companies are also initiating strategic collaborations to expand applications for the OS. In August 2025, QNX unveiled its role as a key ecosystem and integration partner in the development of the new NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor development kit. The OS was integrated in the vehicles for safety 8 and to enable the capacity of delivering cutting-edge AI performance, scalability, and safety features.
Vehicle Type Segment Analysis
By 2035, the passenger cars segment is anticipated to register rapid growth, on account of the rising demand for advanced features in EVs and ADAS. Automotive companies are also taking measures to make passenger cars more personalized and improve user experiences. For example, in February 2025, Stellantis N.V. announced its first in-house-developed ADS, STLA AutoDrive 1.0. The technology is compatible with STLA Brain and STLA Smart Cockpit, enabling 60 km/h (37 mph) automated driving speed.
Application Segment Analysis
The ADAS and safety system is poised to hold a high market share by the end of 2035, owing to growing concern among potential users for safety, and stringent government regulations obligating safety enhancement in vehicles. For example, as per the UN Regulation No. 155, automotive manufacturers in Europe needed to have a valid Certificate of Compliance for the Cyber Security Management System based on their vehicle types manufactured after July 2024. Rapid developments of ADAS by companies through technological innovation is also expected to influence the dominance of the segment in the near future.
