Consumer Demand for Superior Digital Experiences Expected to Boost Market Growth; Advancements in Technology Enabling Enhanced Experiences

Today, consumers demand more digital experiences inside the vehicle, regardless of the vehicle’s price point. Companies seek to offer personalized and integrated cabin user experiences (such as personalization, navigation, voice and productivity) through value and integration engineering.

Through developments in technology, the digital cockpit is changing how people experience cars. Future cockpits enable intelligent and personalized in-vehicle experiences that are software and services oriented, networked, and inter-operable. Technologies like 5G, edge computing and cloud computing, and self-driving are impacting the automotive industry. A model digital cockpit can unite these complex technologies into one, simplified and seamless access point.

The advent of digital cockpit is changing the landscape of the automotive industry, including user experience, sales and revenue. The traditional cockpit has transformed into a digital product, just like consumer smart devices. In today’s rapidly evolving times, auto manufacturers are focusing on R&D and technology to remain relevant.

Increased Digitization Expected to Drive Global Automotive Digital Cockpit Market

It is suggested that by 2030, full-scale digitization driven would be driven primarily by four mutually reinforcing trends - Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric (CASE) vehicles. OEM businesses would have greater opportunities for continual revenue generation while meeting digital demands of future customers.

Connected, electric and autonomous vehicles are considered a key technological to significantly impact the automotive cockpit on a large scale. The connected car trend is causing the growth of two key products - cockpit instrument cluster and infotainment - which comprise nearly two-thirds of the cockpit. Indeed, vehicle cockpits are changing dramatically, with auto manufacturers employing increasingly advanced features to fulfil consumer demands for connectivity, safety, and future mobility. Arm architecture is a key enabler of automotive technology, with majority of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems and several under-the-hood applications powered by Arm-based chips, including meter cluster, HVAC control, and side- or rear-view mirrors.
