The rising demand for electric vehicles worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the automotive SoC market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are those powered entirely by electricity or partially powered, operating on an electric engine rather than a conventional combustion engine. Automotive SoCs play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency, interactivity, and safety of electric cars, making their increase essential for market growth. For example, in April 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based organization, reported that over 10 million electric cars were sold globally in 2022, with sales projected to rise by 35% this year, reaching 14 million. This significant increase has boosted the share of electric vehicles in the overall car market from about 4% in 2020 to 14% in 2022, with expectations to rise further to 18% this year. Moreover, according to the IEA's Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, battery manufacturing projects are expected to adequately meet the demand for electric vehicles through 2030. Consequently, the growing demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the automotive SoC market.

Major companies in the automotive SoC market are working on developing new products, such as safe automotive high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, to secure a competitive advantage. A safe automotive HPC platform is a robust and secure computing architecture tailored specifically for automotive applications. For example, in March 2024, Arm, a UK-based company known for providing processor intellectual property (IP) and software design solutions, launched its latest Arm Automotive Enhanced (AE) processors. These processors aim to enhance the capabilities of modern vehicles, particularly regarding software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and AI-driven applications. They improve the performance of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by utilizing server-class capabilities and AI technologies, enhancing functions such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automated parking. Additionally, these processors are designed to meet the computational demands of autonomous driving, enabling real-time data processing from various sensors and cameras to support better decision-making.

In January 2024, Intel Corporation, a U.S.-based semiconductor and technology company, acquired Silicon Mobility for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Intel aims to strengthen its electric vehicle system-on-chip (SoC) capabilities and accelerate the deployment of AI-driven, software-defined vehicle solutions across automotive platforms. Silicon Mobility SAS is a France-based company specializing in automotive system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
