Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the automotive communication protocols market growth is the government initiatives encouraging the use of telematics. Passenger vehicles comprise the largest installers of telematic systems owing to the increased demand for vehicle tracking and navigation services in passenger vehicles. In addition, the main area of focus for regulatory bodies across the world is the services offered by telematics solutions for passenger vehicles, emergency calls, and stolen vehicle tracking.
Moreover, the increasing emphasis on these functions is driving the adoption of connected services by automotive OEMs. In addition, several regulatory organizations have adopted the eCall initiative to make assistance quickly available to passengers involved in accidents. which includes the installation of a telematics device in the vehicle, which automatically informs the roadside assistance team about different parameters, such as GPS coordinates, airbag deployment, and impact sensor information if the vehicle meets with an accident. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the automotive communication protocols market growth is the use of Ethernet to lay the backbone network of vehicles. Address-based messaging is one of the essential features of Ethernet, which makes it a suitable contender to be used for backbone networks of vehicles. In addition, this is used by switches in an Ethernet network to send data packets to the appropriate recipient in the network. However, software for gateways is installed in the ECU, and it needs to be updated once the network topology is altered which acts as a disadvantage.
As a result, many manufacturers are developing a vehicle backbone network with the help of Ethernet. Therefore, this enhanced version, RTPGE, can be used to design the network backbone of future cars. Hence, the use of Ethernet to lay the backbone network of vehicles will positively impact the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Data security concerns are one of the key challenges hindering the automotive communication protocols market growth. Automotive telematics applications in interchangeable virtual instrumentation (IVI) utilize wireless communication systems that are vulnerable to hacking and theft of information. Even though these systems provide Internet connectivity combined with real-time updates and information, access to such information may trigger a breach of information and pose a threat to malicious software.
Moreover, the main concern is the passage of malware through IVI systems to other in-car networks including controller area network (CAN) bus. In addition, this malware may link the in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to critical functions via the onboard ECUs, which allows hackers to seize control of central functions, such as the engine and brakes, by connecting the laptop or mobile devices to the onboard diagnostic port. Hence, such factors hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The market research report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

APAC is estimated to contribute 57% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. One of the main countries that is significantly contributing to the market growth in APAC is China due to the the high-volume adoption of vehicles in the region. In addition, there is an increasing penetration of luxury vehicles especially in India and China due to the increasing disposable income.
Furthermore, these countries enjoy a cost advantage compared to developed countries owing to proximity to manufacturing plants. Therefore, South Asia has become a manufacturing hub for automotive electronics and other components which has become an important factor in reducing the cost of manufacturing vehicles in the sub-continent. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global automotive communication protocols market witnessed a significant slowdown due to the drop in automotive sales, leading to a decline in the demand for cockpit modules in APAC. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the reopening of manufacturing units. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
