The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of autonomous vehicles, rising demand for dynamic traffic intelligence, expansion of smart mobility ecosystems, growing integration of maps with vehicle sensor data, continuous advancements in geospatial analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-definition mapping solutions, rising demand for real-time map updates, growing integration of mapping data with adas systems, expansion of 3d and lane-level mapping capabilities, enhanced focus on map accuracy and localization.

The rising number of connected cars is expected to propel the growth of the automotive digital mapping market going forward. Connected cars refer to automobiles equipped with internet connectivity and wireless communication technologies that enable them to exchange data with other vehicles, infrastructure, and external networks. The adoption of connected car technologies is increasing due to technological advances, consumer demand, growth in autonomous and electric vehicles, and business opportunities. Automotive digital mapping is a fundamental component of connected car technology, enabling vehicles to offer advanced navigation, real-time traffic information, enhanced safety features, and a seamless driving experience. For instance, in January 2023, according to Casa Autopromotec s.r.l., an Italy-based manufacturer of machinery products for vehicles, the global count of connected cars on the road was 350 million in 2023, an 18% increase from 2022. Therefore, the rising number of connected vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive digital mapping market.

Major companies operating in the automotive digital mapping market are focusing on developing highly automated mapmaking solutions such as automated digital mapping platforms to enhance navigation accuracy, map freshness, and operational efficiency. Automated digital mapping platforms are advanced mapping technologies that use automated data ingestion, processing, and validation to continuously build and update digital maps, enabling capabilities such as rapid change detection, multi-source data conflation, and near real-time map updates. For instance, in March 2023, HERE Technologies, a Netherlands-based company specializing in mapping technologies, unveiled UniMap, a highly automated mapping technology that enables the rapid creation of digital maps and location products. The technology is designed to enable the rapid creation of digital maps and location products, delivering unmatched levels of map freshness, quality, and coverage. UniMap is built on a new computing architecture that automates map data processing and creation, conflates multiple types of data, produces a unified map, and enables changes detected in physical reality to become visible on the map within 24 hours.

In October 2023, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturing company, acquired 3db Access AG for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Infineon Technologies AG aims to enhance its portfolio of semiconductor solutions, expand its market reach, and strengthen its position in key sectors such as automotive and industrial applications. 3db Access AG is a US-based technology company specializing in data management and access solutions, manufacturing data management software, access control solutions, networking hardware, and cloud storage solutions.
