Rising Frequency and Severity of Automotive Cyberattacks Driving Demand for Connected Car Security Market Growth

Published: Nov 2025

Global connected car security market was valued at $5.20 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $28.75 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period (2026-2035). The growing number and sophistication of automotive cybersecurity incidents are a key driver accelerating the growth of the connected car security market. According to Upstream Auto’s 2024 analysis, there were 409 reported automotive-related cybersecurity incidents between 2023 and 2024, with over 60% having a high to massive impact on mobility assets. Notably, 92% of these attacks were conducted remotely, highlighting the increasing vulnerability of connected and software-defined vehicles. Modern vehicles rely on complex software systems and connectivity features such as ADAS, infotainment platforms, and V2X communications, which, while enhancing driver convenience and vehicle intelligence, simultaneously expand the attack surface.

Some real-life incidents show how important it is to consider developing a cyber-resilient vehicle:

  • In February 2024, the Europe division of Hyundai Motors suffered a Black Basta ransomware attack, which resulted in disrupted operations.
  • Security researchers?at the Keen Security Lab remotely hacked into a Cherokee’s infotainment system. This allowed hackers to take control of their steering, brakes, and transmission systems. This remote hack led to the recall of 1.4 million cars and led to massive vehicle security standardization efforts globally.
  • A group of Chinese researchers?took control of a Tesla Model S’s door locks, brakes, and dashboard computer?from around 12 miles away. The OEM quickly issued a software update to address this vulnerability, but the same functionality that enabled this over-the-air update enabled the hack.
  • Eicher Motors Limited, India, became the victim of LockBit Ransomware 3.0. This resulted in company data theft.

As a result, automotive OEMs, suppliers, and regulators are prioritizing cyber-resilient architectures, endpoint protection, and network security frameworks. This rising threat landscape, backed by verified incident data, directly fuels investments in connected car cybersecurity solutions covering software integrity, intrusion detection, secure OTA updates, and vehicle-to-cloud communication protection to safeguard next-generation mobility systems.
