What are the Factors Driving Global Automotive Electronics Market Growth?

“Strict Safety and Compliance Standards in Automotive Electronics”

Components such as steering, music systems, HVAC, brakes, and navigation systems are included in traditional cockpit systems. All these components are manually controlled. Many times, these distract the drivers, increasing the risk of an accident. Electronic cockpits have advanced multiple screens displaying all the relevant information. This friendly human machine interface (HMI) offers easy communication and vehicle control for the driver, contributing to higher vehicle safety and reduced risk of accidents.

Government organizations are framing standards for automated features to avoid the risk of failure.

• For instance, the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles works under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which drafts regulations and guidance documents for safety provisions for advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving systems.

These advanced features need to comply with regulatory requirements, monitor driver behavior, analyze vehicle data, and facilitate emergency assistance.

“Rising Importance of In-car Experience Due to Longer Rides”

• According to a recent survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA), in 2023, Americans spent more than 60 minutes in their cars each day.

People living in other countries spend more than this due to traffic and increasing population issues. It is not surprising that people are demanding a better in-car experience.

Automatic temperature adjustment and control is done by thermal sensors in automotive electronics cockpits, allowing an improved car experience. Additionally, the smart voice assistant enables the driver to perform hands-free multiple tasks. Car infotainment systems have evolved from radio and car computers to in-car Internet. Advanced infotainment features can personalize the media playlist and enable behavior-based automation of entertainment selections.

Furthermore, vehicles can now continuously monitor rea-time data of occupants during the journey. If any fatigue, stress, and motion sickness is detected, it alerts the occupants to relax and refresh themselves through the multi-sensorial experience. Benefits such as safety and delivering a stress-free in-vehicle experience are key factors driving the market forward.

Which Factors are Affecting the Stance of Automotive Cockpit Electronics Manufacturers?

“High Cost of Advanced Electronic Systems”

The overall cost of a vehicle increases with the integration of advanced cockpit electronics. Advanced systems such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), connectivity features, and sensor processors are costly to produce. These manufacturing complexities and shortage of electronic components are leading to the higher prices of these systems, which invariably add to the vehicle's price. As a result, it has a detrimental effect on consumer adoption and market penetration.
