Automotive Hypervisor Market by Type, Vehicle Type, End User, Level Of Autonomous Driving, Bus System (Controller Area Network (CAN), Local Interconnect Network (LIN), Ethernet, and FlexRay), Sales Channel and Region - Global Forecast to 2027
The global automotive hypervisor market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $171 million in 2022 and is poised to reach $566 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 27.0% from 2022 to 2027. The Asia Pacific market is a vast geographical region comprising countries such as Japan, China, India, South Korea, and Thailand. The European market includes countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Russia, and the UK. Some of the major OEMs in the European region such as Volkswagen, Daimler AG, and Volvo Cars are pioneers in automotive technologies. The North American market includes countries such as the US, Canada, and Mexico.
The rising need for the consolidation of ECUs and reducing hardware content in vehicles without compromising on the advanced features are expected to boost the hypervisor market in Europe and North America. Various countries have now mandated the installation of safety features such as blind spot detection, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and park assist. Increasing stringency of government mandates are expected to increase the demand for ADAS and safety systems, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the hypervisor technology.

Driver: Increasing adoption of connected cars and advanced automotive technologies
New generation vehicles have evolved from simple transportation mediums to advanced connectivity platforms. The connected car technology has led to advancements in vehicles, which provide assistance to consumers in driving safely, avoiding accidents, lowering CO2 and NOx emissions, benefiting from insurance telematics with lower premiums, and enjoying connected lifestyle services such as on-demand entertainment and infotainment. According to Statista, as of 2021, there are 84 million connected vehicles on the road. Connected vehicles offer opportunities for improving efficiency, reducing road congestion and emissions, enhancing safety, internet connectivity, smarter parking, app to car connectivity and better vehicle maintenance. This also helps in reducing infrastructure costs. The increasing number of connected cars has opened new revenue generating opportunities for stakeholders in the connected car ecosystem.
Restraint: Lower implementation of technology in economy vehicles
Economy class passenger cars are equipped with a lower number of advanced features such as digital cluster, infotainment application, traction control, safety features, and others which are expected to require a lower number of multi domain controllers. Thus, the economy vehicle segment is equipped with low number of ECUs and a low number of hypervisors. This is a major restraint for economy class vehicles in installing a hypervisor for each economy vehicle model. Thus, to maintain the low cost of the economy vehicle, a lower number of infotainment features and safety features are provided. This factor restricts automakers in installing advanced functions in economy passenger cars to limit the overall price of the vehicles to maintain the sales of these variants.
Opportunity: Rise in demand for luxury cars
Rise in demand for luxury cars is one of the factors fueling the automotive hypervisor market. For instance, Mercedes-Benz car sales across the world in 2021 were around 2 million units. Mercedes-Benz sold around 227 thousand units of plug-in hybrid as well as electric passenger cars, of which around 48 thousand units sold were Mercedes-EQ battery electric passenger cars. The sales of SUVs in North America, specifically in the US, rose by 9.5%. In the US, various automakers witnessed a rise in sales of SUVs. For instance, Volkswagen sold around 273 thousand units in 2021, which is a 45% rise compared to 2020. Porsche sold around 42 thousand units and witnessed a rise in the sale of SUVs by 14% as compared to 2020. Renault-Nisan sold around 520,000 units which was a rise of 10% as compared to 2020. Canada also witnessed a rise in SUV sales in 2021, which was 900 thousand units.
Challenge: Risk of cybersecurity in connected vehicles
The automotive industry has undergone a major shift over the past few years with the buzz around electric vehicles, autonomous cars, enhanced safety features and reduced emissions. There has been an increasing penetration of information technology and IoT within the automotive vertical as well. Increased regulations on safety features have added many new systems within the connected cars. Modern-day vehicles can no longer be perceived as just mechanical systems as these are equipped with electronic features such as the infotainment application, safety features, and others. Vehicles are increasingly connected with capabilities to sync with mobile phones and communicate safety information to other vehicles and surrounding infrastructure. Though vehicle connectedness offers advantages in passenger experience and safety, it also offers opportunities for hackers to hijack and place both, passenger and pedestrian life at risk. Many car hacks were successful because hackers were able to exploit vehicular communication. Thus, the increasing number of electronics features are expected to require a high number of MDCs in vehicles, and in turn, a high number of hypervisors. In May 2022, General Motors became the victim of cyber-attack in the automotive world. The hackers accessed the information from the automakers online/mobile application accounts. However, the increasing risk of cybersecurity offers challenges for connected vehicles and the hypervisor market.
Automotive Hypervisor Market Share
The percentage of the whole market owned by specific companies selling hypervisor solutions is referred to as the automotive hypervisor market share. Hypervisors, also known as virtual machine managers, are software programmes that allow numerous operating systems to operate on a single physical server, making better use of hardware resources. The growing acceptance of cloud computing, the necessity for cost-effective server consolidation, and the rise of virtualization in numerous industries are driving the automotive hypervisor market. A few key players dominate the global hypervisor industry, including VMware, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Citrix Systems, Inc., and Red Hat, Inc. The use of hypervisors is likely to increase in the next years, owing to the increasing acceptance of cloud computing.
Asia Pacific will be a major contributor for Automotive Hypervisor Market
The demand for luxury segment vehicles can be a factor driving growth in this segment. Emerging leaders such as India and Thailand have also contributed to the growth of the hypervisor market. The overall growth in demand for hypervisors is majorly due to the rising adoption of advanced features such as ADAS, safety, in-vehicle infotainment, navigation systems, and telematics in next-generation vehicles. In addition, Asia Pacific has a vast ecosystem in terms of the development of self-driving cars. This includes tech giants, automotive OEMs, electric vehicle OEMs, full-stack developers, and tier 1 suppliers. With multiple partnerships amongst these players as well as with government agencies, Asia Pacific is expected to be a potential market for automotive hypervisor during the forecast period.
