The connected car market size is expected to reach USD 396.10 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Connected Car Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Application Type (Mobility Management, Telematics, Infotainment, and Driver Assistance), Sales Channel Type (OEM and Aftermarket), Communication Type (Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure), Connectivity (Embedded, Tethered, and Integrated), Technology (3G, 4G, and 5G), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The increasing demand for advanced vehicle safety, convenience, and entertainment features drives the connected car market growth. In addition, the adoption of 5G technology, which enables faster and more reliable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, as well as the growing integration of autonomous driving technologies propel the market expansion. Connected car market opportunities lie in the expansion of smart cities, where connected vehicles can improve traffic management and reduce congestion, as well as the rise of over-the-air (OTA) updates that enhance vehicle performance remotely.
Key trends include the development of AI-powered infotainment systems and the focus on cybersecurity to protect connected vehicle data. As automotive manufacturers and technology companies continue to invest in connected car solutions, the market is set for substantial growth, driven by both consumer demand and regulatory push for safer, smarter vehicles.
Connected Car Market Report Highlights
Based on application type, the telematics segment dominates the connected car market share, driven by the widespread adoption for fleet management, safety, and real-time vehicle diagnostics. The driver assistance segment, however, is experiencing the highest growth due to increasing demand for autonomous driving features and safety systems.
By sales channel type, the OEM segment holds a larger market share, driven by the integration of connected technologies directly into vehicles during manufacturing. However, the aftermarket segment is growing rapidly as consumers seek to upgrade their existing vehicles with advanced connectivity solutions.
In terms of communication type, the vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) segment leads the connected car market revenue share, supported by investments in smart city infrastructure and traffic management systems. The vehicle to vehicle (V2V) segment is registering a higher growth rate, driven by advancements in safety and autonomous driving technologies.
North America dominates the global market due to its advanced automotive infrastructure and high demand for connected vehicle features. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific market is witnessing the highest growth, fueled by the expansion of the automotive industry, particularly in China, and government initiatives supporting smart mobility.
