It will grow to $2.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of cloud-based mapping solutions, development of real-time updating capabilities for HD maps, increasing focus on cybersecurity for mapping data, focus on environmental sustainability in mapping processes, and demand for high-definition 3D mapping. Major trends in the forecast period include rise of hybrid HD map solutions combining satellite, aerial, and ground data, emergence of standardized formats for HD map data exchange, development of HD maps for specialized environments like construction sites and industrial facilities, focus on energy efficiency and sustainability in map data collection methods, evolution of HD maps to support Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving capabilities.

The rise in traffic congestion is expected to fuel the growth of high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous vehicles in the future. Traffic congestion describes the situation of overcrowded and slow-moving traffic on roads, resulting from factors such as high vehicle volumes, limited road capacity, and adverse conditions. HD maps for autonomous vehicles contribute to reducing traffic congestion by enabling precise navigation, optimizing routes, minimizing traffic incidents through real-time updates, and coordinating vehicles for smoother traffic flow. For instance, in January 2023, as per the global Traffic Scorecard 2022 report by INRIX, a US-based transportation analytics and connected car service company, the average American driver lost 36 hours due to congestion in 2021, costing $564 in wasted time, while in 2022, this increased to 51 hours and $869 in wasted time. Hence, the growing traffic congestion is propelling the expansion of the HD map for autonomous vehicle market.

Leading companies in the HD map for autonomous vehicle market are intensifying their efforts to develop advanced solutions, such as highly automated mapping technology platforms, to transform how maps are created, updated, and utilized. Highly automated mapping technology involves advanced systems and processes that use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor data to autonomously generate and update detailed maps with minimal human intervention, typically for applications in autonomous vehicles, urban planning, and infrastructure management. For instance, in January 2023, HERE Technologies, a Netherlands-based location data and technology company, introduced UniMap, a highly automated mapping technology facilitating the rapid creation of digital maps and location products. This platform offers advanced mapping capabilities for the HD map for autonomous vehicle market, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models to process extensive vehicle sensor data and provide up-to-date map features such as road signs and speed limits. HERE's swift mapping and updating capabilities meet the critical need for precise high-definition (HD) maps, supporting the safe and efficient operation of autonomous vehicles and positioning HERE as a leader in driving the growth of the autonomous vehicle market.
