Automotive Operating Systems Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Automotive Operating Systems Market Analysis

The Automotive Operating Systems Market size is estimated at USD 19.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 55.57 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 23.82% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The surge in the penetration of electric and autonomous vehicles, the rise in the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features in cars, and the interference of advanced technologies for enhanced user interface (UI)are anticipated to drive the market's growth significantly.
• Many connectivity-related solutions are well integrated into modern cars that primarily require Internet service, especially to perform their respective functions. Thus, a car can provide connectivity through integrated and embedded connectivity services. With the help of a smartphone or a modern connectivity device, an overall impact travel spot can be created to present Internet access to all the devices within the car. Henceforth, the increase in the field of connectivity solutions will enhance the growth of the connected cars market, which will considerably augment the automotive operating systems market's growth opportunities.
• Moreover, the automotive industry has witnessed significant advancement in-vehicle connectivity, machine learning, and ADAS, allowing vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and external devices. This connectivity offers efficient traffic management, enhances safety features, and improves the overall user experience, leading to this demand for operating systems supporting these features.
• For instance, in September 2022, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. declared that it is operational with Red Hat, a leading provider of open-source solutions, to bring functional-safety certified (ASIL-B) Linux-based operating systems to next-generation vehicles that mainly utilize Snapdragon Digital Chassis platforms, a set of scalable and open cloud-connected platforms primarily built for automotive connectivity and telematics, digital cockpit, and advanced driver assistance.
• Furthermore, to increase their consumer base and better meet their demands across various applications, significant companies are also investing, merging with other businesses, and investing in new projects. For instance, in February 2023, Mercedes-Benz declared it's got a new operating system, MB.OS that would start appearing on new vehicles underpinned by the company's new MMA platform. Owners would witness various crucial safety features such as road-scanning lidar, especially due to the new operating system, and games like Angry Birds and social media such as TikTok would be available on the cabin-dominating screens.
• However, factors like privacy and security-related concerns are the significant challenges the global automotive operating systems market faces, which could restrict the market's growth opportunities throughout the forecast period.

Automotive Operating Systems Industry Segmentation

The automotive operating system (AAOS) is primarily an infotainment platform that is built into cars, especially by car makers. Drivers can download the compatible apps directly into their cars, without the usage of any phone, and use an interface that's specifically built for the car screen.

The automotive operating systems market is segmented by operating system type (QNX, Linux, Android, Windows, and other operating system types), vehicle type (passenger cars and commercial vehicles), application type (infotainment system, ADAS and safety system, connected service, body control and comfort systems, engine management and powertrain, and other application types) and geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value in USD for all the above segments.
