It will grow from $22.58 billion in 2023 to $30.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the development of connected vehicle technologies, the expansion of the electric and hybrid vehicle market, the emergence of ride-sharing and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), a heightened awareness of road safety concerns, and the adoption of 5G and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies.

The autonomous vehicle development platform market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $92.03 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.9%. The forecasted growth in the upcoming period can be attributed to the integration of advanced driver-assistance systems, the expansion of testing and validation infrastructure, an increase in demand for autonomous delivery vehicles, the adoption of simulation tools for autonomous vehicle testing, a heightened focus on user experience (UX) in autonomous vehicle design, and the rise of subscription-based models for autonomous vehicle platforms. Major trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements in radar and lidar systems, collaborations between automakers and technology companies, the development of advanced sensor technologies, the growth of artificial intelligence and machine learning, advancements in high-definition mapping technologies, the integration of virtual reality (VR) in autonomous vehicle simulation, and the development of edge AI processors for onboard computing.

The anticipated growth in autonomous vehicle production is set to drive the expansion of the autonomous vehicle development platform. Autonomous vehicles, also known as driverless cars, possess the ability to operate and perform essential functions without human intervention, relying on their capacity to perceive their surroundings. Autonomous vehicle development platforms provide a reliable and robust solution for creating and implementing automated driving applications. The increasing production of autonomous vehicles will generate a heightened demand for sophisticated software and hardware systems, consequently leading to a larger market for autonomous vehicle development platforms. As an illustration, a report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in August 2022 projected 3.5 million self-driving cars on American highways by 2025 and 4.5 million by 2030. Thus, the rising production of autonomous vehicles propels the growth of the autonomous vehicle development platform market.

The surge in urbanization is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the autonomous vehicle development platform market. Urbanization, involving the increasing growth and expansion of cities along with population migration from rural to urban areas, leverages autonomous vehicle development platforms to enhance transportation efficiency and address growing challenges in urban mobility. According to the World Economic Forum in April 2022, over 4.3 billion people, accounting for 55% of the world's population, resided in urban settings, and this figure is projected to reach 80% by 2050. Consequently, the ongoing trend of urbanization serves as a driving force for the autonomous vehicle development platform market.


Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend gaining momentum in the autonomous vehicle development platform market. Key companies within this market are directing their efforts toward the development of technological solutions to fortify their market positions.
