According to the MarketsandMarkets forecast, the automotive V2X market is expected to be valued at USD 767.5 Million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2,815.5 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 29.69% between 2017 and 2022. . Demand for real-time traffic and incident alerts for increasing public safety, increasing financial aid from various government funds for better traffic management, and increased environmental concerns are the key factors driving the growth of the market.

This report segments the automotive V2X market based on offerings, communication type, connectivity type, vehicle type, application, and geography. The market has been segmented on the basis of offering into hardware and software. According to Global Status Report on Road Safety 2015 by World Health Organization, more than 1.2 million people die every year due to road accidents. V2X communication is expected to provide improved active safety, better traffic efficiency and increased situational awareness which are expected to be the major driver for the growth of V2X hardware market.

The vehicle-to-infrastructure system can be used to mitigate vehicle crashes to enable a wide range of other safety, mobility, and environmental benefits. These benefits of V2I communication are the major factors expected to drive the automotive V2I market.  In August 2016, Audi announced that it would launch the first V2I technology called Traffic light information on selected models such as Audi Q7, A4 and A4 in the U.S. by early 2017.

Passenger cars constitute the largest segment, accounting for the largest share of the global vehicle production in 2015. Connected passenger vehicles would mean that passenger vehicles, buses, traffic lights, and travelers would communicate with each other throughout the journey. This would have advantages such as less time stuck in traffic, more productivity while travelling, less congestion and emissions, more informed about ways to travel, and fewer traffic accidents. These advantages are expected to drive the passenger vehicles segment in the automotive V2X market based on vehicle type.

There is performance degradation leading to research in cellular connectivity owing to the increase in network load due to high user density. Companies such as Qualcomm Inc. (U.S.) has started testing LTE for V2X system connectivity. Cellular connectivity for V2X system is expected to be commercialized by 2019. This development is expected to drive the cellular connectivity market for automotive V2X market, thereby making it the fastest growing segment.

The growing number of vehicles is a major reason for the growing traffic congestion and increasing greenhouse emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the transportation sector accounted for 26% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. in 2014. According to Eurostat, European Environment Agency, fuel combustion for transport is the second-most important source for greenhouse gas emission with 23.2% in 2014.

Intelligent traffic systems would lead to better traffic control and lower gas emissions, thereby acting as a major driver for the high growth of the automotive V2X market in intelligent traffic system.

North America is expected to dominate in the automotive V2X market owing to factors such as huge demand for automobiles in the region, favorable policies and regulations by government, and need for a better and effective transportation system. The usage of four wheelers and heavy vehicles is very high in North America, which has resulted in a huge requirement for an effective transportation system. Also, the demand for cars has witnessed a boost recently with the convergence of the ICT sector, the automotive sector, and the transportation sector resulting in the emergence of the connected vehicle ecosystem.

Automotive Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Market

Lack of cellular connectivity coverage, cost burden on consumers, and lack of infrastructure are the major restraints of automotive V2X market. The key players in the automotive vehicle-to-everything (V2X) market are Continental AG (Germany), Delphi Automotive PLC (U.K.), Qualcomm Inc. (U.S.), Infineon Technologies AG (Germany), Daimler AG (Germany), and Audi AG (Germany) among others. Continental AG, Qualcomm Inc. and Daimler AG are the highest-ranked companies in the automotive V2X market. These three players rely on their strong R&D capabilities, diversified product portfolio, global reach, strategic partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions to hold a large share of the automotive V2X market.
