Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global automotive infotainment market will grow steadily during the next four years and will post a CAGR of more than 13% by 2020. Our automotive infotainment market research analysis identifies the integration of infotainment with other systems as one of the primary factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market. The in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems come quite expensive. The recent years have witnessed a growing preference of the customers towards the usage of smartphones that cost much lesser than IVI systems while driving. This will result in a decline in demand for IVI systems and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will start integrating IVI systems with other systems such as telematics and driver assistance systems. There will result in a major customer shift towards vehicle infotainment systems, since they will be provided as a bundled offering.
The growth of the market will result in an increase in the adoption of media oriented systems transport (MOST) technology to simplify system upgrades and prolong the lifecycle of embedded infotainment. The need for high-definition video decoding and advanced navigation systems will induce vendors to design more powerful automotive grade infotainment processors, which will create the need for a flexible and powerful communication backbone. This in turn, will demand the adoption of MOST network technology in automotive infotainment market share. Several automobile manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche have already started adopting and implementing MOST tehcnology in their automobiles.
The automotive infotainment market is characterized by the presence of numerous automotive infotainment companies and as a result, appears to be highly fragmented. Since all vendors equally compete to gain a considerable share of the market, the competitive environment is quite fierce. The increasing competition among automobile manufacturers to utilize OS or software as a differentiating factor in their products will intensify the competition among the market players. Moreover, the increasing integration of smartphones with vehicles to enhance in-vehicle experience and the emphasis of manufacturers in the automobile industry toward connected car technology will also enhance the market’s growth potential, which will again intensify the market’s competitive environment.
