The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of connected car technologies, increasing penetration of electric vehicles, demand for seamless smartphone and app integration, growth of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, rising focus on in-car digital user experience. Major trends in the forecast period include ai-driven personalized in-car user experiences, connected vehicle infotainment ecosystems, cloud-based infotainment software platforms, cybersecure automotive infotainment architectures, infotainment integration in electric and autonomous vehicles.

The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the in-car entertainment market. EVs are automobiles powered by electric motors using batteries instead of internal combustion engines fueled by gasoline or diesel. This rising demand is fueled by factors such as advancements in artificial intelligence that support autonomous driving and increasing awareness of climate change. In-car infotainment systems enhance EVs by integrating advanced connectivity and user interface technologies, which are essential for autonomous driving and improving the overall user experience. For example, in June 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that over 3 million electric cars were sold in Q1 2024, a 25% increase from the previous year, while total global EV sales for 2023 exceeded 14 million, marking a 35% year-on-year rise. Electric vehicles accounted for approximately 18% of all car sales, with China leading at 60% of global sales, Norway achieving a 93% EV sales share, and battery production reaching 2.5 TWh in 2023, projected to exceed 9 TWh by 2030. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the in-car entertainment market.

Leading companies in the in-car infotainment market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as the Android automotive infotainment system, to enhance user experience and integrate sophisticated features into their automotive offerings.
