Automotive Solid State Drive Market Report 2026

The automotive solid state drive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.18 billion in 2025 to $2.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infotainment system expansion, navigation data growth, early adas adoption, flash memory cost reduction, vehicle digitization.

The automotive solid state drive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous driving development, edge ai processing, high-resolution mapping demand, connected vehicle ecosystems, over-the-air updates. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing data storage requirements, growth of autonomous driving data, adoption of high-capacity ssds, expansion of adas and infotainment storage, focus on reliability and durability.

The increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive solid-state drive market going forward. Autonomous vehicles are self-driving cars equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence that enable them to operate without human intervention. The adoption of autonomous vehicles is rising due to advancements in AI-driven safety systems that help reduce accidents. Automotive solid-state drives support autonomous vehicles by enabling fast processing and storage of large volumes of sensor data, ensuring efficient real-time navigation and decision-making. For instance, in December 2024, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety projected that approximately 4.5 million self-driving vehicles will be operating on U.S. roads by 2030. Therefore, the growing adoption of autonomous vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive solid-state drive market.

The rise in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is also expected to fuel the growth of the automotive solid-state drive market. EVs, powered by electric motors and rechargeable batteries instead of gasoline or diesel, are gaining popularity due to advancements in battery technology, which allow for longer ranges and faster charging. Governments worldwide are promoting EV adoption through incentives and stricter emission regulations. Automotive SSDs enhance EV performance by providing faster data processing, increased reliability, and better efficiency for critical systems such as battery management, autonomous driving, and infotainment. According to the International Energy Agency, global electric car registrations reached 14 million in 2023, marking a 35% increase from 2022, which is expected to further boost the demand for automotive SSDs.

Major companies operating in the automotive solid-state drive market are concentrating on technological innovations, such as V-NAND technology, to enhance storage capacity, data processing speeds, and overall reliability. V-NAND (Vertical NAND) is an advanced flash memory technology in which memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers, enabling higher storage density, improved performance, and greater efficiency. For instance, in September 2024, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based technology company, launched the first automotive SSD powered by 8th-generation V-NAND technology. This SSD is designed to support advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), and autonomous driving applications, offering high reliability, durability, and fast data processing. Its low power consumption, extended lifespan, and enhanced performance further strengthen Samsung’s position in the rapidly expanding automotive memory market.
