Real-time Operating System Market size was valued at USD 6.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7.5% between 2023 and 2032. The industry is gaining momentum owing to the rising demand for automotive electronics. The automotive industry is becoming increasingly reliant on electronic systems for safety, infotainment, and autonomous driving. RTOS plays a critical role in managing real-time tasks in vehicles, ensuring responsive control of safety-critical functions, and facilitating the integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Based on a June 2023 analysis by TechInsights, BlackBerry's QNX real-time operating system (RTOS) software has been integrated into more than 235 million vehicles globally. This demonstrates a year-on-year growth of 20 million, underscoring the transition away from mobile phone software towards automotive applications. A commendable rise in the popularity of electric vehicles and self-driving cars has further fueled the demand for RTOS, creating a favorable growth outlook for the real-time operating system industry.

Building and maintaining real-time operating systems can be complex and costly. Developing and optimizing an RTOS for specific hardware platforms and applications requires significant engineering resources and expertise. Besides, ongoing maintenance, updates, and support for RTOS implementations can be expensive. Small and medium-sized companies, in particular, may find it challenging to invest in the development and maintenance of custom RTOS solutions, limiting their adoption and thus impacting the overall market dynamics. However, the noteworthy growth of IoT devices across various industries, such as healthcare, automotive, industrial automation, and smart cities created a significant demand for RTOS. According to Fintech News,
in 2021, IoT services were used by 64% of households in the U.S., and 43% expressed their intention to sustain this usage even beyond the pandemic. These trends are expected to persist, further advancing the goal of enhancing healthcare accessibility, even when the pandemic is no longer a primary concern. RTOS is crucial for IoT applications as it ensures timely and predictable responses to real-time events, making it essential for managing sensor data, communication, and control systems in IoT devices.
