In-car Infotainment systems provide services like climate control, navigation, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, interactive voice recognition services, live media streaming services, and smart technology for mobile integration. Many Car manufacturing companies and electronics and software developers work together to come up with a user-friendly, safe, and easy to use in-car infotainment system. The first in-car infotainment system touch screen was launched in 1986 and invested by Buick Riviera.

COVID-19 pandemic has shown a negative impact on the growth of the global in-car infotainment market. In an effort to restrict the people's movement, the many governments across the world announced a complete lockdown across the countries. In April 2020, zero number of cars sold as well as in mid-June, the dealerships resumed partial operations and completed pending deliveries. During the pandemic, several manufacturing industries were closed and halted their production for a short period due to strict rules and government guidelines. Because of these reasons, demand for in-car infotainment systems from car manufacture is less as well as due to shortage of supply for the raw materials, labor unavailability and broken chain of the manufacturing process affected the growth of the global in-car infotainment market.

Hyundai to Deploy Nvidia Drive for In-Car Infotainment in 2022

November 10^th, 2020: Hyundai’s entire fleet starting in 2022 will include Nvidia’s AI platform for in-vehicle infotainment systems. The announcement means Hyundai, Kia and Genesis models, entry-level to premium, will come standard with Nvidia Drive systems. Drive is made up of hardware and software, which will be used to provide audio, video, navigation, connectivity and AI-connected car services. New car owners will be able to add new functions and safety features after the car is purchased.

Increasing Production of Vehicles such as Four Wheeler and Others and Rising End-User Demand for Comfort and Adoption of Cloud Technology are Some of the Major Factors Driving the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the growth of the global in-car infotainment market is the increasing production rate of all types of vehicles such as four-wheelers and others, and growing end-user demand for comfort and safety. The In-Car infotainment systems are used in different types of vehicles such as light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles and others. As per the data available from Indian Automobile Manufacturers, in august 2021 approximately 232,224 passenger vehicles were sold in the local market. In the year 2019 Indian auto industry sold approximately 29, 62,052 units of passenger cars. The US auto industry sold approximately 3.4 million cars in the year 2020. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in 2019-20, the total passenger vehicles sales reached approximately 2.8 million, while approximately 2.7 million units were sold in FY21. Thus the increasing production of vehicles is driving the demand for in-car infotainment systems.

In addition, the rising adoption of cloud technology is another factor that drives the growth of the global in-car infotainment market. The growth in demand for safeness, comfort, and aesthetic features has directed several technological advancements in vehicles. One of the similar advancements includes the use of cloud supported infotainment system which thereafter increases the comfort position of the passengers inside. Rising end-users demand for live streaming facilities for music, internet radio, and smartphone integration with rapid development in cloud technology and its application is also supplementing the market growth. Cloud adoption allows on-demand entertainment from cloud-based sources to in-car infotainment systems first of original media databases including CD/ DVD players and Bluetooth. For instance; 50% of car manufacturers spend more than $1.2 million on cloud services annually. In the year 2021, cloud technology infrastructure was grown by 35%. Also, in-car infotainment systems allow storage and sharing of media files similar to photos, music, video, over the cloud network and save local storage space. Thus, it provides huge motivation to the global in-car infotainment market growth.

However, high investment is required for in-car infotainment systems, and the need to upgrade the system software after certain intervals of time may likely to hamper the growth of the in-car infotainment market. In spite of that, the disturbance caused by in-car infotainment services to the driver while driving in terms of safety norms taken by the government is expected to open more opportunities for the further growth of the global in-car infotainment market players globally.
