This concerted effort between government policies and automotive technology advancements is paving the way for safer and more efficient driving experiences.

Front Row Installation to be on the Front

When it comes to installation, the front row takes precedence, primarily because it is the most frequently used area and provides greater control to both the driver and front-row passengers. Infotainment systems offered by OEMs are typically placed in the front row for convenient access. The recent introduction of the SkipGen IVI by Panasonic exemplify the trend by providing front-row Infotainment and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems that offer seamless access to voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. Moreover, the front row installations offer effortless connectivity to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and other vehicle controls, including cruise control. These features are expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the segment during the forecast period. The emphasis on enhancing the driving experience and accessibility for the driver and front-row occupants underscores the importance of front-row installations in modern automotive infotainment systems.

Authentic Technology and Special Features fuels the OEM Segment

The OEM segment currently takes the lead in terms of market share. This dominant position can be attributed to the rising sales of personal vehicles in emerging economies, which attract automotive industry giants to initiate new projects. Consumers often prefer the OEMs infotainment systems that come pre-installed in their vehicles at the time of manufacturing.

Factors including superior performance, guaranteed reliability, and consistent software updates contribute to the growth of the OEM segment. The trust associated with OEM products is the driving force behind their prominence in the market. However, the aftermarket segment is gaining ground and is expected to expand significantly. This growth can be attributed to the relatively high prices of OEM infotainment units. Consumers seeking cost-effective alternatives or upgrading their existing infotainment systems often turn to the aftermarket for more affordable and customizable solutions. The competition between OEM and aftermarket channels reflect diverse preferences and needs of consumers in the infotainment market.

Asia-Pacific Emerging as the Biggest Market

Asia Pacific has emerged as one of the largest automotive markets globally, and the growth is expected to drive higher sales of infotainment systems in the region. The introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning significantly enhances in-vehicle infotainment segments. Additionally, rapid economic development, heightened foreign investments, and increased demand for personal vehicles are contributing to the region's prominence. Local automotive brands in Asia Pacific are leveraging technology to create advanced infotainment systems tailored to consumers' evolving preferences. For instance, companies like Tata Elxsi are focusing on innovative solutions like self-parking valet modules that allow vehicles to identify suitable parking spots and execute parking maneuvers autonomously. This demonstrates the region's commitment to incorporate modern technology into automotive systems to enhance user experiences and vehicle capabilities.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 has adversely impacted the automotive market and its components. The pandemic slowed the market growth from shrinking the supply chain efficiency to restricting the research and development programs. During the pandemic, the supply chain of semiconductors disturbed, limiting the production of IVI. The shortage of raw materials, smooth transportation, and lack of demand resulted in limiting the growth rate for the market. The lockdown further stopped the manufacturing units delivering the expected number of installations.
