Connected car devices encompass hardware components or systems integrated into vehicles to facilitate connectivity and interaction with external networks or devices. These installations enhance driving experiences by offering convenience, safety, and entertainment features. Additionally, they unlock new service possibilities such as automatic crash notification, stolen vehicle tracking, and remote control capabilities, further enhancing their value proposition in the automotive market.
The primary modes of communication facilitated by connected car devices comprise vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and others. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology empowers vehicles to exchange data wirelessly, transmitting crucial information such as speed, position, and direction to enhance safety and prevent collisions. Leveraging technologies such as driver assistance systems and telematics, these communications occur via dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) and long-range or cellular networks. Their applications span passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles, catering to original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the connected car devices market by increasing the cost of imported semiconductors, communication modules, antennas, processors, and in-vehicle networking hardware. Automotive OEMs in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to reliance on imported electronic components, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export pricing pressure. These tariffs are increasing vehicle production costs and slowing feature penetration in mid-range models. However, they are also encouraging local electronics manufacturing, regional sourcing of connectivity modules, and innovation in integrated and software-centric connected car solutions.
