Automotive Infotainment Market Size - By Component, By Connectivity, By Vehicle, By Application, By Distribution Channel, Growth Forecast, 2026 - 2035

Automotive Infotainment Market Size

The global automotive infotainment market size was valued at USD 30.9 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 32.8 billion in 2026 to USD 60.9 billion in 2035 at a CAGR of 7.1%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

With the market for connected, smart, and interactive vehicles expanding, the demand for greater use of infotainment is being driven by consumers' desire for seamless integration with mobile devices (smartphones), cloud services, and real-time navigation, thus improving their experience and convenience while driving and making connectedness a crucial element of modern-day passenger and commercial vehicles.
 

For instance, in 2025, Volkswagen Group introduced a new MIB3 infotainment system in an estimated 3.5 million vehicles worldwide. With this system, Volkswagen has incorporated cloud-based navigation, real-time traffic, and smartphone connectivity to meet the growing consumer desire for experience connected vehicles.
 

Advanced deployment of infotainment systems in electric vehicles (EV) is expected to drive the overall adoption and growth of EVs. In addition to the advantages associated with providing better user experience, manufacturers are also using these systems to support the proliferation of EVs.
 

High demand for in-car streaming, navigation, and smartphone integration is pushing infotainment adoption. Consumers increasingly value personalized entertainment, real-time traffic updates, and intuitive interfaces, driving automakers to invest in advanced hardware and software solutions that meet modern user expectations.
 

For instance, in 2025, BMW introduced AI-powered voice assistants and personalized infotainment in its 2.2 million vehicles, showcasing adoption of IoT and AI technologies to enhance user experience and interactivity in modern vehicles.
 

Automotive Infotainment Market Trends

Automakers are increasingly adopting wireless technology solutions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless Carplay, and Android Auto due to the growing importance of providing consumers with more wireless options while allowing them to connect their mobile devices to the automaker’s services and products. By moving away from cables, these new technology solutions provide for greater convenience and flexibility in how consumers use their devices with their vehicles.
 

Auto manufacturers now use AI-powered voice assistants and natural language processing (NLP) as standard equipment in their vehicles, which allows for a greater degree of safety and accessibility when controlling vehicle functions (for example, navigation, audio/video, etc.) while keeping hands free from the steering wheel.
 

Infotainment systems are changing in ways, as many vehicles are increasingly being designed with digital dashboards, multiple display screens, and customizable user interfaces. Digital cockpits help increase driver awareness of what is going on within their vehicles while providing a centralized source of information and allowing users to modify their vehicle's information displays. These digital cockpit systems combine infotainment, telematics and safety features to provide users with a more immersive and usable in-car experience than ever before.
 

OTA technology allows automakers to remotely deploy software updates to their infotainment and connected systems. By helping automakers to update their systems remotely, OTA technology will save manufacturers and consumers time and reduce maintenance costs because no vehicle service visit to a dealership will be required for the consumer to receive current features, increase security, and enable the continuous innovation of their vehicle's capabilities, performance, and overall consumer experience.
