All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Connected car is one of the four concurrent disruptive threats that the industry faces alongside the electric vehicle, autonomous driving, and the concept of transport-as-a-service categories. The global connected car market was valued at $32 billion in 2016.
The connected car is a result of the convergence of several ideas to use the evolving technology of network communications, known as the internet of things (IoT). The connected car’s role in the IoT is significant, since it brings together five key elements to the driver’s personal space and independent mobility: comfort, convenience, performance, safety, and security.
The connected car market comprises two segments: in-vehicle infotainment and vehicle telematics. Telematics revenues are seeded by the size of the vehicle parc, while infotainment revenues are related to installed equipment values in vehicle retails. As such, only infotainment revenues are expected to have suffered in 2020 at COVID-19’s height. The pandemic may ultimately drive further growth in the connected car sector. The pandemic proved to be a pivotal moment in more wide-scale adoption of connected vehicle technologies.
What are the market dynamics in Connected Cars market?
The connected car crosses a broad array of intersecting technological developments such as home integration, mobility management, vehicle management, entertainment, well-being, safety, and autonomous driving. The year 2019 was found to be a big year for M&A transactions in the connected car technologies space, 2020 was always likely to be much quieter. The Covid-19 pandemic has made sure of that, frustrating roadmaps and deadlines for the fresh acquisitions of late 2019.
In the connected car space, strategic partnerships are of more significance than M&A transactions in some cases, particularly in the connectivity segment.
