The automotive connected car platform market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.68% and the size of the market is forecast to increase by USD 5,694.07 million between 2022 and 2027. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including the increased focus of OEMs on the development of autonomous and connected vehicles, an improved smartphone ecosystem to act as an enabler for autonomous and connected vehicles, and the rise in the adoption of cloud technologies and IoT to reduce the capital expenditure in developing connected car platforms.
Vehicle infotainment service is becoming the next big thing in the connected car market. Vehicle infotainment is the combination of news, weather, social networking, and audio/video streaming.
Nowadays, differentiation is an important factor for any OEM to attract outreach customers. Hence, OEMs are investing in the development of unique infotainment service offerings for their models, which can be a differentiating factor for the company against the competitors. For instance, in June 2022, an Indian Internet of Things (IoT) company, Trak N Tell (a subsidiary of Bits N Bytes Soft Private Limited), introduced three variants of its IntelliPlay 4G SIM-enabled Android-based car infotainment system. These factors are helping the market reach the next level.

Automotive Connected Car Platform Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The rise in the adoption of cloud technologies and IoT to reduce the capital expenditure in developing connected car platforms is notably driving the connected car market growth, although factors such as cybersecurity breach issues that are negatively impacting technology adoption may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 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.
Key Automotive Connected Car Platform Market Driver
The rise in the adoption of cloud technologies and IoT to reduce the capital expenditure in developing connected car platforms is notably driving the connected car market growth. M2M platforms are increasingly being adopted by Mobile network operators (MNOs). This helps the MNOs to reduce capital expenditure and time-to-market (TTM) for product or service launches. Cloud-based platforms help MNOs manage, assemble, and develop services. In addition, the platforms help telecommunication operators integrate, develop, market, and support M2M connectivity and cloud services across business segments such as retail and automotive.
For example, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced that it would use Harman Ignite cloud-based platform to deliver a wide range of connected services to drivers. With a push of a button, the system would assist owners by locating fuel and charging stations, receiving traffic prompts and restaurant offers, predicting maintenance needs, and providing live customer-care assistance. Therefore, these factors will propel the connected car market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Automotive Connected Car Platform Market Trend
Rental companies adopting the connected car platform to attract customers is an emerging trend in the connected car market. Retail customers and rental players are adopting connected car technologies. For instance, Ola (on-demand taxi service in India) has started offering Ola Play, a connected car platform, to Ola rental users. Through this platform, the users are allowed to control the car and driver consoles from their smartphones. They can also control these functions through a device mounted inside the car. Additionally, this platform also allows custom features like music and video streaming through online apps.
The primary objective of these rental companies is to engage customers in using their app for more time, which will benefit customer attraction and retention. This trend is expected to be a positive driver for the market as it opens a new revenue avenue for the market player. Therefore, these factors will fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
Major Automotive Connected Car Platform Market Challenge
Cybersecurity breach issues negatively impact technology adoption which acts as a major challenge to market growth. Wireless communication systems are used by automotive telematics applications in in-vehicle information systems. These systems are prone to hacking and theft of information. Nowadays, these modern systems offer internet connectivity combined with real-time updates and information. Hence, access to such information provides an opening for the breach of information and the threat of malicious software.
In addition, the major concern is the passage of malware through in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to other in-car networks such as CAN buses. This malware may link the in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to the automobile's critical functions. Therefore, hackers can get control of the vehicle's central functions, such as the engine and brakes, by connecting the laptop or mobile devices to the automobile's onboard port. Furthermore, several other security vulnerabilities arise from the insertion of multiple web applications and Bluetooth in automobiles. These applications provide access to social media applications as well as personal contacts. Therefore, these factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
