Vehicle-as-a-Platform Hardware Market Size
The global vehicle-as-a-platform hardware market size was valued at USD 10.3 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 12 billion in 2025 to USD 55.5 billion in 2034 at a CAGR of 18.6%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.
With this evolutionary era, sectors such as automotive are expanding their technological aspects that solve the demand from the end users. Vehicle-as-a-platform hardware helps to ease driver and passenger experiences by offering features such as advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS), infotainment systems and vehicle connectivity, which become easily accessible.
As road safety is becoming a critical need to prevent any incidents, solutions such as ADAS that include lidar, radar, ultrasonic sensors and cameras are used in smooth driving experiences that provide lane detection, traffic signals, pedestrian and driver monitoring and measures of vehicle speed and distance. Combining these helpful features with rising interest among end users reflects OEMs and aftermarket players fulfilling this demand.
Meanwhile, the emerging autonomous vehicle ecosystem encourages the market players in the vehicle-as-a-platform hardware to invest in this domain, as it shows as an opportunity to them. For instance, the UK government expects to approve fully self-driving cars from 2026 to the second half of 2027. Overall, favourable government policies towards autonomous vehicle ecosystems create opportunities for players to enter into the vehicle-as-a-platform hardware market.
Additionally, infotainment systems nowadays have become must-have features in vehicles. Vehicle owners spend a lot to integrate the best in-control infotainment systems. For instance, in October 2025, Hyundai revealed that its upcoming Exter will debut the Korean brand’s next-generation infotainment system, which is scheduled to arrive early 2027. The new Exter will come with a new digital instrument cluster and a large infotainment screen that will run on the latest Android Auto Operating System (AAOS).
Connected vehicles is a concept that gives the vehicle-as-a-platform hardware market momentum. These connected features enable vehicles to communicate with other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), and cloud services (V2C), forming a dynamic ecosystem that enhances safety, traffic efficiency, and user convenience. To make this possible, cars need robust hardware systems that enable high-speed data transfer, edge computing, and secure connectivity protocols. The embedding of IoT devices in cars, like telematics modules, intelligent sensors, and on-board diagnostics, further increases the demand for advanced hardware platforms.
The North America region is home to several pioneering OEMs like Tesla, GM and Ford, which are highly investing in vehicle technologies, mainly in software-defined vehicles (SDVs), autonomous driving, and electrification. These players are reshaping vehicle architecture by integrating advanced computing platforms that support real-time data processing, over-the-air updates, and feature-on-demand services.

Vehicle-as-a-Platform Hardware Market Trends
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is a concept which is trending within the automotive industry. There is a need for such hardware that helps vehicles become software-defined platforms. The reason for this change lies in the necessity for centralized computing architectures that enable dynamic software updates and feature enhancements over the lifespan of a vehicle. Automakers are increasingly embracing zonal E/E architectures and high-performance computing platforms to unbundle hardware from software, allowing flexible deployment of services. This trend enables cars to be upgraded continuously, increasing user satisfaction and operational effectiveness without physical changes.
The use of edge computing is becoming prevalent as a method of processing data locally. This edge computing is being integrated into car platforms and greatly omitting latency. For example, in September 2025, Sonatus, a company known for AI and software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, introduced a new solution, Sonatus AI Director. The new system allows original equipment manufacturers to utilize AI at the vehicle edge. Such functionalities are the basis of advanced driver monitoring, predictive vehicle maintenance, and adaptive user experiences.
The connected vehicles delivering robust networking and security constructions are the ones that allow easy communication indeed. This vivacious trend is affecting the hardware developments in connected vehicle ecosystems which are enhancing for secure over-the-air updates, multi-protocol networking, and real-time diagnostics to name a few. The combination of deterministic networking protocols and secure gateways is facilitating safe data exchange between vehicle domains.
