Rockville, Md. The global automotive human machine interface market is set to grow from US$ 17.119 Bn in 2017 to nearly US$ 30 Bn by the end of 2022, according to Fact.MR. These systems let drivers interact with a vehicle's automated features through panels and software, and their rise tracks closely with the spread of infotainment, from GPS navigation to connectivity that makes long journeys easier.

Central displays lead by product, sedans and SUVs generate the most demand, and the aftermarket is the largest channel. Asia Pacific excluding Japan anchors the market by revenue.

Products, Vehicles and Channels

Central display interfaces remain the preferred product, but head-up displays are the fastest-growing segment as more of the driver's information moves into the line of sight. Sedans and SUVs take the largest share by car type, set to surpass US$ 10 Bn by 2022, while luxury and sports cars rank second and grow fastest. The aftermarket leads distribution, on track for nearly US$ 20 Bn by 2022. By technology, visual interfaces dominate, though mechanical interfaces are expected to expand fastest over the period.

Regionally, Asia Pacific excluding Japan is the most lucrative market, with Europe tracking a similar growth rate. The Middle East and Africa together with Japan are expected to contribute US$ 2.2358 Bn by 2022, with the Middle East and Africa the more lucrative of the two.

Infotainment Pulls the Cabin Forward

The connective thread is the digital cabin. As buyers expect richer navigation, communication and entertainment, and as telematics spreads, interface systems become the layer that ties it all together. Once reserved for high-end models, they are moving into lower-cost vehicles, helped by mobile phone integration, government attention to in-vehicle safety, and the growing overlap between automotive and consumer electronics.

Suppliers and Their Playbook

The field brings together tier-one suppliers, display specialists and electronics firms.

• Delphi Automotive Plc, Valeo SA, Denso Corporation, Saint-Gobain SA, Magneti Marelli S.p.A, Honeywell International Inc, Alpine Electronics, Inc, Visteon Corporation, Altran Technologies S.A., Nippon Seiki Co., Ltd., and Synaptics Incorporated are among the key players profiled in the report.

Reading the Market for Decisions

For suppliers, growth favours infotainment integration, head-up displays and the spread of interfaces into mainstream models. Investors get a large market with a robust growth rate. Procurement teams can plan around the aftermarket leading channels, sedans and SUVs dominating demand, and Asia Pacific carrying the largest opportunity through 2022.
