Software-Defined Vehicle Market Segmentation:

Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles)

In terms of vehicle types, passenger cars segment is estimated to dominate around 79.1% software-defined vehicle market share by the end of 2035. Adaptive cruise control and ADAS systems have made these models preferable to fit commercial transportation. The advanced cameras, sensors, and radars are capable of processing large data to deliver precise software outputs. Tech companies are increasingly prioritizing OTA updates and feature additions for improved performance. For instance, in June 2024, Renesas launched R-Car Open Access (RoX) for seamless integration of AI applications in SDVs. The market-ready platform enabled ASIL D-level sensing to elevate the in-cabin passenger experience.

Propulsion Type (ICE, Electric Vehicle)

Based on propulsion type, the software-defined vehicle market is expected to witness significant progress in the EV segment. The rising concern about sustainability is pushing automakers to manufacture eco-friendly solutions. Electric vehicles are setting the future of this concept, promoting zero-emission in transportation. Software can enhance the operational value of these cars to deliver optimal performance. The advanced control systems can increase energy efficiency through smart battery management and regenerative braking features. Leading tech companies are now investing to develop technologies to reduce footprint. For instance, in April 2024, intel acquired in-tech to accelerate its R&D for e-mobility engineering. It aims to utilize in-tech assets in automobile-specific software systems to upgrade EVs in the UK.
