Overview of the global rear-seat infotainment market
Rear-seat infotainment systems allow passengers sitting in the rear side of the vehicle to control audio or video sources according their preferences from their seats.

The evolution of connectivity in vehicles has resulted in consumers connecting their smartphones and tablets to the vehicle's infotainment system to access enhanced entertainment and information. For instance, Apple's car integration CarPlay interface is available through Pioneer's aftermarket in-dash infotainment offerings. Comprehensive market research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global market for rear-seat infotainment will grow at a stupendous CAGR of over 27% by 2020.
