Automotive Electronics Market Report 2025

The automotive electronics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $295.42 billion in 2024 to $320.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in demand for commercial vehicles, increased demand for passenger vehicles, and a rise in disposable income.

The automotive electronics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $454.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for electric vehicles, increasing automobile production, rising government support and increasing demand for safety features in automobiles. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence technology, the launch of advanced power electronics, integration of augmented reality (AR), new and innovative product introduction, strategic partnerships and collaborations to expand their product portfolio and drive revenues.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive electronics market in the future. Electric vehicles are powered by motors that utilize electricity stored in batteries. Moreover, the push to combat COVID-19 and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions have led to a sudden rise in the adoption of EVs and hybrid vehicles. Automotive electronics play a crucial role in electric vehicles by facilitating the electric powertrain system that delivers high power to the vehicles. For example, in August 2024, a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S.-based agency, indicated that the combined sales of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the U.S. rose from 17.8% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in Q1 2024 to 18.7% in Q2 2024. Thus, the increasing penetration of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive electronics market.

Government support is anticipated to be a significant factor driving the growth of the automotive electronics market. Governments worldwide are increasingly providing substantial support and incentives to encourage the development and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced automotive technologies. These initiatives encompass financial incentives, tax breaks, research funding, and regulatory measures aimed at reducing emissions and enhancing vehicle safety. For instance, in July 2023, Chinese authorities announced measures aimed at stimulating vehicle and electronics sales to support economic recovery. In July 2022, the Brazilian government approved a decree for a new program, Inovar-Auto, designed to promote innovation in vehicle technology. Inovar-Auto encourages industry competitiveness by incentivizing automakers to produce more efficient, safer, and technologically advanced vehicles while investing in Brazil. Robust government support is expected to expedite the shift to electric and connected vehicles, thereby driving the demand for automotive electronics.

Leading companies in the automotive electronics market are concentrating on the development of electronic components, such as high-amperage surface-mount fuses, to improve reliability and safety in automotive and industrial electronic systems. High-amperage surface-mount fuses are compact electrical components designed to protect circuits by managing high current ratings and preventing overloads and short circuits. For example, in October 2023, Littelfuse, a U.S.-based manufacturer of circuit protection and electronic components, introduced the Ultra-High Amperage SMD Fuse Series, aimed at circuit protection in various applications, especially in automotive and industrial electronics. These fuses are notable for their ability to handle high current ratings while maintaining a compact surface-mount design. This series enhances the reliability and safety of electronic systems by preventing overloads and short circuits. Additionally, the fuses have a low profile and are well-suited for high-density applications, making them ideal for contemporary electronic devices.

Product launches represent another key trend in the automotive electronics market, with major players actively introducing new and innovative products to expand their product portfolios and bolster their market positions. In November 2022, Melexis, a Belgium-based microelectronics engineering company, unveiled a new series of integrated pressure sensor chips tailored for automotive engine management. The MLX90824 in this series measures absolute pressure and delivers a SENT protocol digital output signal, while the MLX90822 provides an analog voltage output signal. These devices are factory-calibrated to measure pressure over a full-scale range of 1 bar to 4 bar, showcasing Melexis' commitment to introducing cutting-edge products in the automotive electronics market.

In August 2022, MKS Instruments, a US-based manufacturer of industrial process instruments, acquired Atotech for $4.4 billion in cash and MKS common stock. This strategic acquisition of Atotech, a Germany-based company specializing in automotive electronics, positions MKS to expedite the development of future generations of advanced electronic devices.
