Autonomous Driving SoC Market By Level of Autonomy (Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5) , By Application (Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) , Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) , Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) , Automated Parking System (APS) , Others) By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
The autonomous driving system-on-chip (SoC) market was valued at $36.8 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $100.1 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2024 to 2033.
Autonomous driving system-on-chip (SoC) is a powerful integrated technology that plays a critical role in enabling autonomous functionalities. Autonomous driving SoCs enable vehicles to perceive their surroundings, interpret data from various sensors, and make autonomous navigation decisions. This integration not only enhances the efficiency and reliability of autonomous driving systems but also reduces power consumption and cost, making it a pivotal technology for smart, self-driving cars.
The growth of the global autonomous driving system-on-chip (SoC) market is driven by increase in demand for autonomous vehicles and heightened focus on integrating functional safety features into SoCs to ensure reliable and safe operation in autonomous driving applications. This is crucial for ensuring that ADAS systems operate safely and effectively under various conditions. With increasing installation of this system in vehicles, the risk of accidents is expected to decline drastically. According to a recent study conducted by the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety and the University of North Carolina, ADAS is likely to prevent approximately 37 million crashes and 14 million injuries in the coming 30 years, stretching from 2021 to 2050. Furthermore, increase in implementation of 5G networks and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems to support real-time data exchange for autonomous driving boosts the demand for SoCs. Moreover, rise in penetration of electric vehicles, which often incorporate advanced technology, complements the development of autonomous driving systems, increasing the demand for efficient SoCs. However, developing advanced SoCs with the necessary processing power and functionality for ADAS involves significant R&D investment, which acts as a barrier for the market growth. In addition, complexities associated with integration of multiple ADAS functionalities into a single SoC to ensure reliability and performance hamper the market growth. On the contrary, significant investment and R&D efforts are being directed toward the advancement of autonomous driving SoCs, which are expected to drive innovation and accelerate the market's growth. Manufacturers are focusing on developing smaller process nodes, such as 5nm and below, that will allow for more transistors on a chip, improving performance and efficiency while reducing the physical size of the SoC. Such developments are anticipated to open new avenues for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
