Automotive Engineering Services Market Report 2025

This Automotive Engineering Services market report covers market characteristics, size & growth, segmentation, regional & country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The automotive engineering services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $266.62 billion in 2024 to $294.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to globalization of automotive industry, increased complexity of vehicle systems, emphasis on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, growth in automotive electronics and software, demand for innovative vehicle designs and features.

The automotive engineering services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $439.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, accelerated adoption of connected car technologies, increasing focus on sustainability and green engineering, integration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), demand for personalized and user-centric automotive experiences. Major trends in the forecast period include use of advanced technology, embrace of digital twin technology for simulation and testing, collaboration for research and development in autonomous driving, growing importance of cybersecurity in automotive engineering, use of artificial intelligence in design optimization and manufacturing.

The growing demand for emission-free transportation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive engineering services market. The use of fossil fuels such as diesel and gasoline releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, leading to climate changes. This has resulted in a heightened demand for emission-free transport options, including electric vehicles. For example, in January 2024, the UK Department for Transport reported that 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans sold in Great Britain will be zero-emission by 2030, rising to 100% by 2035. The growing demand for emission-free transportation, along with increased awareness of these solutions, is expected to boost the automotive engineering services market.

The rising demand for passenger vehicles is a significant factor driving the growth of the automotive engineering services market. Passenger vehicles include various types of motorized transport used for private or public purposes, and the increasing demand for safety features such as airbags, collision avoidance systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) aligns with the growing number of these vehicles on the road. For example, in 2024, the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, a France-based trade association, reported that sales of passenger cars increased to 68.02 million in 2023, up from 61.55 million in 2022. As a result, the growing demand for passenger vehicles directly contributes to the expansion of the automotive engineering services market.

Leading companies in the automotive engineering services market are introducing technologically advanced solutions, such as parking development solutions, to boost efficiency, optimize space usage, and enhance user experience. A parking development solution is an integrated system designed to improve the planning, construction, and management of parking facilities, enhancing space utilization, traffic flow, and convenience in urban or commercial settings. For example, in March 2024, Applied Intuition, a US-based software firm, launched an automated parking development solution for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD). This solution enables ADAS and AD development teams to create, test, and deploy machine learning-based or classical automated parking systems (APS) up to 12 times faster with enhanced safety and reliability.

Major companies operating in the automotive engineering services market are developing strategic partnerships. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in October 2022, Tech Mahindra, an Indian-based provider of digital transformation, consulting, and business re-engineering services and solutions, announced that it had partnered with the Foxconn-initiated MIH (Mobility in Harmony) Consortium, an open electric vehicle (EV) alliance initiated by Foxconn, a Taiwan-based electronics manufacturing company. The partnership will focus on developing sustainable mobility solutions and building the next generation of electric vehicles, autonomous driving solutions, and mobility service applications that can deliver value for stakeholders in the mobility industry.

In September 2023, HCL Technologies, an Indian-based multinational IT services and consulting company, acquired ASAP Group for $266. 49 million. Through this acquisition of ASAP and HCL Tech’s own presence in the automotive space, the combined business will be a platform for growth in Germany and for further expansion into other key automotive markets in Europe, the Americas, and Japan. ASAP Group is a US-based automotive engineering services provider.
