COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The manufacturing of infotainment systems is inextricably linked to the production of autos, which has a negative impact on EV infotainment manufacturers. The pandemic's rapid spread reduced demand for automobiles, which has affected the demand for entertainment systems. When the quarantine was lifted in 2021 as a result of immunization efforts, demand for autos skyrocketed. The semiconductor chips are essential to the infotainment system, irrespective of vehicle type. Due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, the production schedule was pushed back. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as frequent supply chain and production disruptions hindered the growth of EV infotainment market.
Market Growth Factors
Growing number of electric vehicles due to the rising environmental concerns
There is an increase the number of electric vehicles around the world. People are increasingly investing in the purchase of electric vehicles due to the growing awareness among individuals. Along with that, several government organizations as well as NGOs are conducting awareness programs in order to inform people about the depleting environmental conditions owing to the pollution emitted by vehicles. From small hatchbacks such as the Blade to high-end sedans much like Tesla Model 3, electric vehicles come in a variety of sizes. The wide range of product options has attracted a huge number of customers, culminating in the emergence of an electric car sector.Rising penetration of smartphone and high usage of cloud technologies
The usage of smartphones is constantly increasing across the globe. A similar trend is projected in the automotive industry, since Android is one of the most popular operating systems among most OEMs for mid- to high-end vehicle segments. The rise in sales of low-priced cars has led to cost reductions in Android-based chipsets used in infotainment systems, propelling the Android OS market for car infotainment systems forward. In the automotive business, infotainment systems with sophisticated smartphone integration are popular. The innovative technology featured in the Skoda Slavia is a recent addition to the list. The new Slavia comes with a choice of two modern entertainment systems.Marketing Restraining Factor:
Rise in the cybersecurity concerns
Despite significant advancements in electric vehicle infotainment technology, cybersecurity continues to be a challenge. Each component of electric vehicle infotainment, including hardware, mobile apps, software, and Bluetooth, is susceptible to hackers. Amico, a car privacy and cybersecurity advocate, alerted the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC), an industry-run group that shares and analyses intelligence on potential cybersecurity threats. Amico spent months assisting Auto-impacted ISAC's members in understanding how an attacker may gain access to data contained in automobile infotainment systems.
