Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

Ethernet’s address-based messaging feature makes it an attractive option for automotive backbone networks. Unlike CAN networks that use gateways for messaging, Ethernet switches can execute the same process without requiring software upgrades when network topologies change. Additionally, Ethernet networks can accommodate an unlimited number of devices, and multiple switches can be interconnected to expand network capacity. While the current 1TPCE standard may not be suitable for vehicle backbone networks, the enhanced RTPGE version can be used for future car designs. This capability to adapt and expand without software upgrades, combined with the increasing use of ethernet in automotive applications, is expected to fuel the growth of the Automotive Ethernet market during the forecast period. 

The Automotive Ethernet market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of Ethernet networks in vehicles. Phy transceivers are key components of this technology, enabling high-speed data transfer for infotainment, autonomous vehicles, powertrain, chassis, body and comfort, and high bandwidth applications. Vehicle electromagnetic compatibility and immunity standards are crucial considerations to ensure reliable connectivity. Cost of cable and cabling weight are important factors in the automotive industry, making Ethernet an attractive alternative to traditional harnesses. Navigation systems, telematics, in-vehicle data communications, and IoT solutions are driving the demand for connectivity in vehicles. Automotive manufacturing plants are integrating Ethernet networks into passenger vehicles for safer and more efficient production processes. Autonomous driving requires HD maps, lane sizes, crosswalks, and road signs to be transmitted in real-time, making Ethernet an essential technology. Broadcom Incorporated, NXP Semiconductors NV, Microchip Technology Inc, and Texas Instruments Inc are major players in the Automotive Ethernet market. Safety and security are top priorities, with Euro NCAP and US NHTSA setting standards for connected vehicles. Software-defined vehicles (SDV) and Ethernet ports up to 10 Gbps are future trends. MEMS sensors, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, and electronic control units are also driving the growth of the Automotive Ethernet market. HMI features, GDP growth, and the Indian market are also potential opportunities.

Market Challenges

The automotive industry has seen a significant increase in the use of electronics in vehicles, with modern luxury cars containing over 100 microprocessors and executing over 100 million lines of instructions. Electronics now account for 45% of the cost of a premium vehicle, and this figure is projected to reach 50% by 2030. However, the high initial cost of adopting new technologies, such as Automotive Ethernet, is a major concern for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). OEMs are hesitant to adopt new technologies due to shrinking margins, uncertainty, and the higher cost of ethernet compared to popular technologies like CAN and LIN. Few OEMs, such as Mercedes-Benz, are still using MOST instead of BroadR-Reach ethernet due to the uncertainty associated with a new technology used for critical vehicle functions. These factors may restrict the growth of the Automotive Ethernet market during the forecast period.The Automotive Ethernet market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for in-vehicle connectivity. Traditional wiring harnesses in automotive parts are being replaced by Ethernet technology for better communication between components. Leading automotive companies are investing in this technology for electric vehicles (EVs) and conventional vehicles alike. The federal government’s initiatives for CO2 emissions reduction and the technological development of chipsets and modules are driving this trend. However, challenges such as cybersecurity assaults and the need for charging infrastructure and lithium-ion batteries add complexity. The market can be segmented into vehicle type, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, driver assistance, power train, body & comfort, and hardware sub-segment. Key players include NXP Electronics, and the market is estimated to grow despite the impact of lockdowns on auto manufacturers. Buyers and suppliers are looking forward to the benefits of Ethernet technology in infotainment systems, CAN LIN, and autonomous driving functionalities.
