Automotive Communication Protocols Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing electrification in vehicles is notably driving the automotive communication protocols market growth, although factors such as additional cost to manage rough operating conditions of automotive networks may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive communication protocols industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Communication Protocols Market Driver
The increasing electrification of vehicles is a major factor driving the global automotive communication protocols market share growth. Upgradation in automotive electronics and developments in automotive motors have been done with the addition of modern technologies in vehicles. Technological advancements are incorporated in several applications such as infotainment systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and several other electronic system applications. Technological advancement and their increasing adoption by end-users will boost the installation of electronic content in cars and commercial vehicles. Government regulations are also forcing the deployment of active safety systems in entry-level cars and hybrid and electric vehicles. This level of penetration on electrification in vehicles would act as one of the major factors in improving the automotive communication protocols market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Communication Protocols Market Trend
The use of Ethernet to lay the backbone network of vehicles is another factor supporting the global automotive communication protocols market share growth. Address-based messaging is one of the features of Ethernet, which makes it a strong contender to be used for backbone networks of vehicles. In address-based messaging, every data packet is attached to a source and destination address. This is used by switches in an Ethernet network to send data packets to the appropriate recipient in the network. Once switches are installed, they can execute the same process without any upgrade in software in case of an altercation in the network. Any number of devices can be added to the network, as long as there are empty ports in the switches. In fact, many switches can be interconnected, thereby increasing the capacity of the network. This is the main reason for many manufacturers are developing a vehicle backbone network with the help of Ethernet. The enhanced version, Reduced Twisted Pair Gigabit Ethernet (RTPGE), can be used to design the network backbone of future cars and promote growth for the automotive communication protocols market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Communication Protocols Market Challenge
The additional cost to manage rough operating conditions of automotive networks will be a major challenge for the global autootive communication protocols market share growth during the forecast period. Automotive networks usually operate under high temperatures and electromagnetic radiation. Hence, it is necessary to consider whether the communication protocols used can perform efficiently in such conditions. The abovementioned issue can be solved by using shielded Ethernet technology that does not exceed the limit for EMC emission. However, it requires expensive cables and connectors. Plastic optical fiber can also be used for 100Mbps Ethernet with a reach of 100m, but this is a costly solution. Automotive OEMs are already under constant cost pressures due to the influx of new technologies such as connected cars, autonomous driving, and ADAS systems. Hence, managing the high communication protocol needed for supporting the vehicles of tomorrow and at the same time not passing on the added cost to the customer would be a challenge for the automotive communication protocols market during the forecast period.
This automotive communication protocols market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
