In Japan, Toyota’s development of autonomous vehicles is an example of the integration of AI in embedded systems. This trend is expected to grow as AI-driven features, such as autonomous driving and predictive maintenance are being increasingly implemented in vehicles to enhance the driving experience and increase driver safety.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Supply Chain Disruptions amid Pandemic Initially Hampered Market Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Asia Pacific vehicle embedded software market growth. In the early stages of the pandemic, automobile manufacturing and sales witnessed a sharp decline due to supply chain disruptions, lockdowns, and reduced consumer spending.


According to data from the Asian Development Outlook 2021, the sales of new vehicles in the region dropped by approximately 10%, with several countries imposing restrictions on production and labor movement. This resulted in delayed installation of embedded software in new vehicles.


However, amid these challenges, the pandemic also accelerated specific trends in the autonomous vehicle industry. The demand for contactless and connected features in vehicles surged. For instance, remote diagnostics and Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates gained prominence as consumers sought ways to minimize in-person interactions for vehicle maintenance. The pandemic highlighted the importance of advanced vehicle software for a driver's safety and convenience. As a result, despite the initial setbacks, the vehicle embedded software market in the region continued to recover, focusing on innovative features to meet varying consumer preferences.


Asia Pacific Vehicle Embedded Software Market Trends


Growing Implementation of Touch-based and Voice-based Infotainment Systems to Increase Adoption of Intelligent Cars


The automotive industry has witnessed a significant surge in the implementation of touch-based and voice-based infotainment systems, contributing to the growing adoption of intelligent cars. This trend is driven by several factors, including high consumer demand for enhanced in-car entertainment and connectivity features. Voice-based infotainment systems have gained prominence due to the convenience they offer. With voice commands, drivers can control navigation, make phone calls, send messages, and access information without taking their hands off the steering wheel, thereby promoting safer driving practices. The adoption of AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies has improved the accuracy and responsiveness of voice-controlled systems, making them an essential inclusion in the vehicle embedded software. For instance,


In October 2023, SoundHound AI introduced a Vehicle Intelligence domain which enabled its users to use its in-vehicle voice AI platform to access the car manual through natural speech.

Asia Pacific Vehicle Embedded Software Market Growth Factors


Inclusion of IoT to Enhance Interconnectivity Between Multiple Embedded System Layers


The Asia Pacific market is experiencing a significant transformation with the inclusion of IoT technology, which aims to enhance the interconnectivity between multiple embedded layers in the ECU system, such as application layer, hardware abstraction layer, and OS layer. This transformation is driven by several factors, including the region’s growing automotive industry, increased demand for connected vehicles, and adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and automated driving solutions. For instance,


According to Fourin, in 2023, the automotive sales in 12 Asian countries, excluding China and Japan, increased by 4.5% year-on-year. This growth was primarily driven by economic recovery and improved vehicle supply, although rising interest rates and stricter loan screening processes since the second half of 2022 have slowed the market expansion. Compared to the first half of 2019, the increase was 7.9%, with India surpassing the 2019 level by over 20%. Furthermore, the automobile production in 10 countries grew by 13.3% compared to the same period last year, with only Myanmar and Pakistan showing a significant decline, while the remaining countries increased production. In terms of automobile exports, India saw a slight decrease of 13%, compared to the same period last year, while the other four countries achieved double digit growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Standardized Data and Early Software Failures to Hamper Market Proliferation


The lack of standardized data and early software failures pose significant threats to the proliferation of the market in Asia Pacific. The absence of a uniform data standard hinders interoperability between several vehicle system layers, leading to complications in data sharing processing and communication. This results in variations in data formats, protocols, and interfaces adopted by different automakers and technology providers.


Early software failures have also emerged as a critical concern for the automotive industry as they can lead to safety risks and system malfunctions. These failures can occur due to software bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities that may not become apparent until the software is deployed in real-world driving conditions.
