Auto Integrated Circuit (IC) Global Market Report 2025

The auto integrated circuit (IC) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $42.67 billion in 2024 to $45.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing vehicle production, rising consumer demand for automobiles, government incentives for the automotive industry, growth in middle-class income, and expansion of the automotive supply chain.

The auto integrated circuit (IC) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $58.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to result from rising adoption of electric vehicles, stricter emission regulations, growing demand for autonomous driving, increasing automotive electrification, and expansion of smart transportation infrastructure. Key trends in the forecast period include a shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles, integration of advanced driver-assistance systems, growth in automotive semiconductor outsourcing, increased focus on energy-efficient IC designs, and expansion of connected car ecosystems.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the auto integrated circuit (IC) market. EVs use electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries rather than traditional internal combustion engines. As environmental awareness grows, both consumers and governments are increasingly adopting EVs to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. This trend boosts demand for auto ICs, which are essential for battery management, power conversion, motor control, and advanced driver assistance systems. For example, in January 2025, Cox Automotive reported that US EV sales reached 1,212,758 units in 2023 a 49% increase from 2022 and further rose to 1,301,411 units in 2024, representing 8.1% of total vehicle sales. Therefore, the increasing EV adoption is fueling growth in the auto IC market.

Key players in auto integrated circuit (IC) market are leveraging advanced semiconductor technologies, such as chiplet technology, to enhance performance, scalability, and flexibility. Chiplet technology builds a system-on-chip (SoC) from multiple smaller chip modules rather than a single monolithic die, improving design flexibility, manufacturing yield, and cost efficiency. For instance, in November 2024, Renesas Electronics Corporation launched the R-Car X5H, the industry’s first automotive multi-domain SoC using 3-nanometer process technology. It integrates AI acceleration, GPU performance, mixed-criticality processing, and chiplet extension capabilities, supporting ADAS, infotainment, and gateway systems, enabling scalable, software-defined vehicle architectures.

In August 2025, Infineon Technologies AG acquired Marvell Technology Inc.’s Automotive Ethernet business for US$2.5 billion. This acquisition strengthens Infineon’s position in automotive semiconductors by expanding expertise in software-defined vehicles, leveraging Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet portfolio, and integrating auto ICs to deliver high-performance connectivity. This move positions Infineon to capture growth opportunities in emerging applications, including physical AI and humanoid robotics, while reinforcing its global market presence.

The regions covered in auto integrated circuit (IC) report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
