Global Car GPS Navigation System Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component (Software & Services and Hardware), By Vehicle Type, By Screen Size, By Sales Channel, By Propulsion, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

The Global Car GPS Navigation System Market size is expected to reach $25.3 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 10.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

The Car GPS Navigation system consists of a satellite link to the Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver coupled with an audio/video component to receive satellite signals and aid in tracking and positioning vehicles. GPS is used by the navigation system to determine the vehicle's present location. It is a computer mapping tool created specifically to assist drivers in finding their destination.

Nowadays, the navigation system gadgets come as standard with the car and some others can be installed after being bought separately. Both varieties of car navigation systems are made to attach inside or on top of the dashboard for convenience. Most combine with a computerized road map to show the vehicle's location in real-time.

In addition, car GPS navigation systems offer the best route based on real-time traffic information, as well as extra locations of interest including banks, gas stations, hospitals, and restaurants. For increased awareness, while driving, these systems are designed to provide voice or visual instructions as well as driver alarms. A road map database is often included with a car GPS navigation system; however, some systems enable map updates by linking the car's computer with the manufacturer's website.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 crisis led to market uncertainty for car GPS navigation systems. A significant slowdown in the supply chain, a decline in corporate confidence, and a rise in consumer concern were propagated by the pandemic. Governments in several areas issued total lockdown and temporary industry closures, which had a negative impact on the entire manufacturing and sales of car GPS navigation systems.

Market Growth Factor

Rising Ride Sharing Services Promoting Implementation of GPS As Safety Feature

Due to the affordability and simplicity, ride-hailing and car sharing are becoming more popular. The demand for car-sharing and ride-hailing services is driven by the rise in environmental concerns related to vehicle emissions, decreased prices, and increased savings, which in turn drives the demand for automobile GPS navigation systems. In order to meet the growing need for real-time vehicle sharing services and manage the shift in trends toward automobile ownership, the implementation of GPS navigation systems has become essential. This is also because; the GPS systems integrate real-time data with the vehicle's current statistics. They become highly important in case of accidents. Many taxi companies have made GPS systems mandatory in their vehicles.

Advancements in GPS Navigation System Application

Navigational systems offer the best routes between two points. External technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite-based radio navigation systems essentially support it. High precision, usability, reliability, and self-calibration are just a few of the benefits of GPS. However, GPS can only be used outside. In several fields, it is common practice to combine data from numerous sources to enhance final outcomes. To enable visualization and implementation characteristics of a specific area, GIS and GPS have been integrated.

Market Restraining Factor

Lack of Supporting Infrastructure for Proper Navigation

The supporting infrastructure, such as connectivity, roads, and other infrastructure, is extremely important to the car GPS navigation system market. The industry for in-dash navigation systems may significantly impact by the low cost of alternatives like mobile phones and personal navigation systems. As the navigation system is connected to the internet, hackers may break into the system, which could result in disastrous circumstances, especially in the case of connected automobiles. This raises concerns about the cyber security of vehicles.

Component Outlook

Based on component, the car GPS navigation system market is bifurcated into hardware and software & services. The software & services segment dominated the car GPS navigation system market in 2021, with the highest revenue share. Using smartphones, tablets, and other location-aware devices, GPS tracking software enables users to monitor the whereabouts of moving personnel, objects, and vehicles. Users may view a map of all the vehicles using the software, which connects to GPS-based tracking devices and records location changes in real-time. Additionally, it extracts data from other sources, including software programs and local servers.

Vehicle Type Outlook

On the basis of vehicle type, the car GPS navigation system market is segmented into passenger cars, Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV). The light commercial vehicle segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the car GPS navigation system market in 2021. Since light commercial vehicles are typically used to move people and things (goods) over short distances, GPS tracking is one of the most important tasks for these fleets. Location and mileage are the important criteria that are gathered since they reveal whether a vehicle is utilized for business or personal usage.

Screen Size Outlook

Based on screen size, the car GPS Navigation System Market is categorized into less than 6 inches, 6 inches to 11 inches, and greater than 11 inches. The 6 to 11 inches segment dominated the car GPS navigation system market with the maximum revenue share in 2021. In bigger cabs, a big-screen 6-inch or 7-inch GPS is simpler to see. Large-screen, trucker- and RV-specific variants are available from some GPS manufacturers, such as the 7-inch screen Garmin Dezl. The Dezl has a large screen, a speaker, and a number of routing features tailored specifically for larger travels.

Sales Channel Outlook

Based on distribution channel, the car GPS Navigation System Market is classified into original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket. The aftermarket segment acquired a significant revenue share in the car GPS navigation system market in 2021. These are aimed at tech enthusiasts and audiophiles who need more features without sacrificing the sleek design of the factory unit. The aftermarket navigation systems contain entertainment options like DVD playback, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Pandora streaming that are not found on most factory systems. The aftermarket navigation system screens are a big upgrade over the sound systems in earlier cars that have less sophisticated stereos.

Propulsion Outlook

On the basis of propulsion, the car GPS Navigation System Market is divided into internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles. The internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles garnered the highest revenue share in the car GPS navigation system market in 2021. The vast majority of land and water vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, ships, and to a lesser extent, trains, are powered by reciprocating piston engines. Some cars, planes, and motorbikes employ rotary engines of the Wankel design. These are referred to as internal combustion engines collectively (ICEV). As a huge percentage of vehicles fall in this category, the segment is accompanied by growth.

Regional Outlook

On the basis of region, the car GPS Navigation System Market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Europe region garnered a substantial revenue share in the car GPS navigation system market in 2021. The rise in the taxi and rental car companies has exercised positive impacts on the segment. These efforts are augmented by the overall sustainable views of the people and government of the region. An indirect effect of tourism industry is also evident here. Because of its beautiful attractions, this region sees a huge number of travelers, which has resulted in increase in taxi facilities.
