The global automotive hypervisor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2027.
A hypervisor is a software that provides a virtual representation of hardware components in autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. It is used for establishing seamless communication between hardware and a virtual machine, which helps in controlling the vehicle in an efficient manner.
Continuous advancements and growing demand for automotive technologies, such as autonomous driving modes, vehicle telematics, etc., are some of the major factors driving the global automotive hypervisor market across the globe.
Automotive hypervisors are used across various vehicle types, such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles, as per their level of autonomy, i.e., fully autonomous or semi-autonomous.
Among all vehicle types, the passenger car segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment as passenger car owners are increasingly opting for either autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles, citing benefits such as better efficiency and improved safety.
Autonomous vehicles provide advanced driver assistance systems that eliminate accidents caused by human error. As a result, the growing demand for autonomous vehicles is projected to facilitate the growth of the automotive hypervisor market in the years to come.
Market Snapshot
Type-1 hypervisors accounted for the largest market share in 2018.
Type-1 hypervisors accounted for the largest market share in 2018. This type of hypervisor provides better performance as compared to its counterparts. The virtual layer of the type-1 hypervisor interacts directly with the kernel of the operating system, making the hardware of the vehicle more efficient.
Type-1 hypervisors are independent of the operating system of the vehicle as they directly run on the host's hardware. In the event of a problem in one virtual machine, the other guest operating systems running on the hypervisors are not affected. Hence, it is regarded as the more secure and efficient automotive hypervisor type.
North America Garnered the Largest Market Share in 2018
In terms of geography, North America led the automotive hypervisor market in 2018 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period from 2019 to 2027.
The growth of this region is mainly backed by stringent government regulations in countries like the U.S. and Canada, where the installation of specific automotive safety technologies is mandatory. North America is home to a large number of well-established manufacturers that are investing in autonomous technologies.
Relatively better penetration of autonomous cars coupled with a growing inclination towards road safety has attracted significant investments in the R&D of autonomous vehicles. This, in turn, is supporting the demand for automotive hypervisors in the North American region.
