The QNX segment held industry share of 34% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace by 2032. The ability of QNX to provide real-time performance, which is essential for time-sensitive automotive applications, is driving the sector growth. Real-time capabilities ensure that critical functions including brake control, sensor fusion, and communication systems operate with precise timing and responsiveness, thereby enhancing safety and the overall system performance.

In addition, QNX is highly scalable and flexible, allowing automotive manufacturers to deploy the same across a wide range of vehicles & applications. Major players are developing QNX to integrate IoT systems with next-generation vehicles. For example, in May 2023, BlackBerry Limited launched the QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 powered by its QNX operating system (OS), which enables automakers to design more powerful multi-core processors for integration with their vehicles. Such initiatives are positively influencing automotive OS market demand.

The Safety & ADAS ECU function type captured industry share of 33% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace by 2032.  Android OS provides a robust platform for machine learning and artificial intelligence integration, propelling the automotive operating system (OS) market growth. Safety & ADAS systems can leverage Android-based solutions to incorporate AI & ML algorithms for tasks, such as object recognition, driver monitoring, and predictions, to enhance safety features. Established technology providers are forming strategic alliances for developing Linux-based operating systems for safety & ADAS systems. Such initiatives will contribute to the market growth of Linux-based OS.

The Asia Pacific Automotive operating systems market held the significant share of 25% in 2022 and is poised to attain 16% gains between 2023 and 2032. The growing demand for advanced functionalities specific to EVs can be attributed to the accelerated adoption of electric vehicles in China. These functionalities include battery management, range optimization, energy consumption monitoring, and regenerative braking systems. The growing espousal of EVs drives the need for automotive operating systems tailored to the unique requirements of electric mobility.

Furthermore, increasing investments in the South Korea automotive industry are projected to expand the automotive operating system market growth in the region. In September 2022, the South Korean government announced its plan to invest USD 65 billion in the automotive industry to manufacture 3.3 million electric vehicles by 2030, thereby expanding market share. This is expected to contribute to automotive OS market growth in South Korea.
