Additionally, the incorporation of various software applications into automotive systems, including infotainment and powertrain management systems, further contributes to the market's expansion.

Automotive Software Market
By Product Insights
In 2024, the software application segment dominated the automotive software market. These applications are vital for vehicle connectivity and telematics, providing services like remote diagnostics and real-time traffic information. Modern vehicles, with complex integrations of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and sensors, rely on software applications for managing features such as infotainment, navigation, and ADAS. The operating system (OS) segment is forecasted to experience the fastest growth rate as automotive OS is crucial for managing various vehicle functions and ensuring reliability in safety-critical tasks, including autonomous driving.

By Vehicle Type Insights
In 2024, passenger cars made up the largest share of the market. These cars typically include advanced software services, infotainment systems, and driver assistance technologies, leading to greater demand in mature automotive markets. Consumers are increasingly looking for vehicles equipped with ADAS for enhanced safety and convenience. The commercial vehicle sector is expected to see the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to stringent regulations regarding safety, emissions, and driver hours. Software solutions assist commercial operators in compliance tracking, reducing fuel use, maintenance expenses, and downtime, thereby promoting the adoption of such solutions.

By Propulsion Type Insights
The internal combustion engine (ICE) segment led the market in 2024, as many current vehicles still rely on ICE technology for critical functions. Despite the industry moving towards electrification, numerous developing economies continue to depend on ICE vehicles. Conversely, the electric vehicle (EV) segment is projected to grow rapidly due to rising environmental awareness and advancements in battery technology, making EVs more viable and attractive to a broader audience.

By Application Insights
The ADAS and safety segment led the global automotive software industry in 2024, capturing the largest revenue share. There is a rising emphasis on safety from both customers and regulators, driving the demand for safer vehicles. ADAS technologies, which include features such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance, are crucial for enhancing vehicle safety and are becoming integral in autonomous vehicles. Connectivity is anticipated to grow the fastest from 2025 to 2034, as it plays an essential role in various electronic devices, including cars. Connectivity services help automotive dealers, fleet operators, and drivers improve resource use, enhance safety, automate driving functions, and collect valuable data regarding vehicle performance and road conditions.

Regional Insights
In 2024, the North American automotive software market led the global sector and is expected to witness substantial growth at a significant CAGR throughout the forecast period. This region boasts a well-established and robust automotive industry, characterized by a multitude of automakers, suppliers, and technology firms. The strength of this industry fosters innovation and the creation of software solutions for vehicles. Moreover, North America represents a key market for electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles, both of which heavily depend on software for powertrain control, battery management, autonomous driving capabilities, and connectivity, thereby driving market growth in the region.



Market Competitive Landscape
Prominent companies within the automotive software sector include Robert Bosch GmbH and Continental AG, among others. These two firms are pivotal in the automotive software landscape, focusing on the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving technologies, and connected vehicle software. Robert Bosch GmbH provides one of the most extensive automotive software portfolios, encompassing a wide array of solutions from powertrain management to telematics, safety, and cybersecurity. Its diverse offerings cater to a broad spectrum of automotive requirements, establishing it as a comprehensive resource for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Recent Developments:

  • In December 2024, Accenture aimed to enhance its software capabilities by acquiring AOX, a German software subsidiary dedicated to supporting automotive manufacturers and suppliers in embedded software under the Accenture umbrella. This initiative is a response to the automotive sector's realization of the extensive challenges associated with Embedded Software Defined Vehicles.
  • In November 2024, Arm and Panasonic forged a partnership with the objective of developing a specific automotive framework standard centered on the Software-Defined Vehicle Architecture. This collaboration promotes the expansion of the VirtIO Framework beyond device and operating system virtualization, facilitating rapid decoupling of automotive software from hardware to ensure improved TTM throughout the industry.
