Automotive HMI Market Drivers

Rising Wearable and Portable HMI

The human-machine interface of the future will get even more interactive. The growing popularity of wearable devices in the consumer market which are exhibiting a growth of over 16% will also be reflected in the Automotive sector. This is also due to the government regulations driving connected vehicles which mention arable devices among the technologies subject to hyper-depreciation. The incorporation of IoT in the automotive sector has played a crucial role in the field of fleet management. Vehicles are integrated with several sensors, tracking software, and weight measurement. Fleet operators can easily analyze the data collected from sensors and manage the fleet. Owing to the benefits such as real-time monitoring of the fleet, route management, time & driver management, weight tracking of cargo and optimization of fuel consumption, Large and medium-sized fleet owners are increasingly using fleet management solutions to streamline operations.

Rise in demand for connected vehicles

Increasing demand for connected vehicles is one of the factors that can drive the market forward during the forecast period 2022-2027. According to IDC 90% of vehicles will have embedded connectivity by 2023. The factors such as government initiatives for developing smart transportation systems; rise in demand for smart features in vehicles and automated driving technologies with advanced safety features will boost the demand for connected vehicles. Connected vehicles are equipped with several sensors and processors to provide accurate and real-time information of vehicles to drivers. Connected vehicle technology improves driving and ownership experience as well as adds a safety net with its advanced security features. In April 2020, Hyundai Motor India Ltd launched Hyundai Venue, the first smart connected SUV with an advanced connectivity solution - Hyundai BlueLink. The BlueLink connected technology offers safety features like vehicle theft tracking, road side assistance, vehicle navigation control and immobilization for recovery of stolen vehicles. Such developments can influence the growth of Automotive HMI market in the long run.

Automotive HMI Market Challenges

High Cost and security issues

High cost acts as a major challenge restraining the market growth of Automotive HMI and end products, especially IoT. The cost of vehicle parts, software, and sensors in Automotive IoT is quite expensive.
