Automotive Over-the-Air (OTA) Market

Automotive Over-the-Air (OTA) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Technology (Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) and Software Over-the-Air (SOTA)), by Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), Heavy Duty Trucks, and Buses and Coaches), and by Application (Telematics Control Unit, Electronic Control Units (ECUs), Infotainment, and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

Published: Oct 2023 | Report Code: OMR2027869 | Category : Automotive Systems | Delivery Format: /

Automotive OTA market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 30.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030). OTA programming is used to automatically update firmware, software, and even encryption keys. The growing adoption of such automotive software technology to provide a complete software infrastructure is the key factor supporting the market growth globally. Advanced semiconductor solutions, provide a more efficient way to deliver in-vehicle software and simplify how different software elements operate within the same environment, making it possible for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop true software-defined vehicles. Hence, the market players are also focusing on introducing SOTA solutions that further bolster the market growth. For instance, in January 2023, EPAM launched the vehicle-to-cloud platform “AosEdge” that allows seamless delivery and updates of software for connected cars. With other new platforms, these critical software updates are delivered using a cloud-to-edge computing platform, similar to the way smartphones receive over-the-air (OTA) updates via the cloud.

Segmental Outlook 

The global automotive OTA market is segmented on the technology, vehicle type, and application. Based on the technology, the market is sub-segmented into FOTA and SOTA. Based on the vehicle type, the market is sub-segmented into passenger cars, LCVs, heavy-duty trucks and buses and coaches. Further, on the basis of application, the market is sub-segmented into telematics control units, ECUs, infotainment and others (safety & security). Among the technology, the SOTA sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market owing to the rising development of SOTA updates in the automotive industry as it offers OEMs several advantages such as cost savings through inexpensive over-the-air bug fixes.

The Infotainment Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Automotive Over-the-Air (OTA) Market

Among the applications, the infotainment sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing influence of infotainment updates to improve the in-vehicle digital experience. OTA updates include drivetrain optimizations, the ability to schedule preferred charging times, polestar digital key improvements, an eco-climate mode to improve real-world range, and battery optimization with preconditioning, amongst others. For instance, in April 2022, Polestar launched digital car connectivity with an Android R OTA software update. The P2.0 software update is the latest in the ongoing series of OTA software releases. Software enhancements are downloaded and installed remotely, allowing Polestar to leverage on digital connectivity to accelerate the integration of new functionality, performance and personalisation for Polestar 2 owners.

Regional Outlook

The global automotive over-the-air (OTA) market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the growing production of electric vehicles (EVs) and the rising number of connected car devices in vehicles in this region. The region also strongly hold on to key market players such as BYD Auto Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co. Ltd., NIO Inc., Tata Motors Ltd., Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. and others.
