In-vehicle infotainment operating systems market tracker - March 2023 update

What is the key summary of changes within the 2023 OS tracker?

The key difference between March 2022 version tracker and this version is the negative trend in OS volume growth. The data clearly illustrates a growing downward trend in all types of Headunit operating system volume and the market will witness an average -2.7% lower growth compared to the previous forecast. S&P predicts this is due to the growing utilization of future domain controllers. Many start-up EV OEMs are deploying Cockpit Domain Controller (CDC) and taking advantage of growing hardware processing consolidation. Furthermore, many of the traditional OEM EV platforms are also embarking on domain controller-based solutions, leaving Headunit out of the market in the future for the Infotainment function development. Regardless of the downward trend OS development spending still shows positive growth. The overall spending is growing at a rate of CAGR 7.1% between 2021 and 2028. The lack of AI framework standards together with higher and faster application processing will continue to push the Infotainment development spending to the higher side.
