The global car as a connected living market is expected to grow from USD 8 billion in 2023 to USD 1.5 trillion by 2035 at a CAGR of 54.5%.
Connected cars have evolved considerably over the last decade from telematics systems to in-car connectivity with access to third party apps. However, the idea that customers are adopting connected vehicles only for in-car convenience is gradually expanding to offer a wide range of support services ranging from safety, home, and workplace, to health. While the concepts are enticing, given the nascency of the market, there are several unanswered questions in terms of service offerings, packages and pricing, customer perception, and industry developments. The growing convenience of market trends such as electrification and autonomous mobility add layers of complexity to this landscape.
In-car connectivity will have the largest share of the digital connected living solutions
In-car connectivity features are expected to constitute ~90% of the total market; with a total market potential of ~$500 billion by 2035. This is evident from the connected car strategies of leading Chinese OEMs such as BYD, Xpeng, Nio, and Leap Motors that are aggressively focused on international expansion, especially Europe. Leap Motors has revealed its future vehicles will have over 500 connectivity features.
Connected aftermarket will be a critical part of connected living solutions to ensure optimal vehicle health and increased vehicle relevance over vehicle lifetime
Traditionally, the primary relationship between OEMs and its customers ended at the point of sales. This dynamic has started to evolve now. OEMs are increasingly making their presence felt in the aftermarket service space such as digital and connected repair and maintenance services, metaverse based real time fault identification and repair services, digital service lanes, online auto parts and used car marketplaces and connected car insurance features. Consequently, OEMs are connected with their customers at every point in the vehicle journey; helping customers optimally navigate vehicle maintenance.
Connected energy offers strong business case for OEMs
Through connected EVs, OEMs are making it very easy for customers to manage their energy needs. Digital charging management has become very common and offered by almost OEMs such as Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Tesla, Stellantis, and Nio amongst others, offering service such as charging status monitoring, charging scheduling, charging and battery swapping station locator, and payment integration. Connected EVs are not just limited to offering these digital charging services - the wider ecosystem of charging infrastructure offers new revenue streams for OEMs. OEMs such as Tesla, GM, and Hyundai offer services such as renewable energy generation for vehicles and homes, energy storage, and vehicle to grid (V2G) services.
