Automotive Cybersecurity Market by Offering (Hardware, Software, Services), Security Type (Network Security, Endpoint Security), Deployment Mode, Application (ADAS & Safety, Telematics, and Infotainment), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2032

The Automotive Cybersecurity Market is projected to reach $13.9 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 19.9% from 2025 to 2032. 

The growth of this market is driven by the growing number of connected cars, the growing adoption of telematics and cellular network in the automotive sector, rising incidents of cyberattacks and data breaches, and increasing government mandates for vehicle data protection. However, the high cost of automotive cybersecurity solutions restrains the growth of the automotive cybersecurity market.

Furthermore, the growing cloud-based applications in the automotive industry and the emergence of electric vehicle wireless battery management systems are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the market’s growth. However, misconceptions and lack of knowledge regarding automotive cybersecurity solutions and the growing complexity of vehicle electronics systems are major challenges for the players operating in this market.

Growing Number of Connected Cars Driving the Growth of the Automotive Cybersecurity Market

In today’s modern world, advanced technologies have become integral to human life, with digitally connected devices and applications commonly used in homes, offices, and cars. The advent of IoT technology has influenced innovations in connected cars. A connected vehicle comes equipped with a host of smart and convenient features. The features of connected car technology improve the overall driving and ownership experience. Connected cars enable the driver to connect with online platforms, facilitating real-time communications. Additionally, vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity technology allows connected cars to communicate with each other. Vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity enables the sharing of vital information such as traffic movement, road conditions, and speed limits.

Furthermore, with automotive IoT technologies such as radar, vision, V2X, and LiDar, connected cars produce a large amount of data, including information about the driver, the vehicle, and the passengers. Although all generated data is pre-processed in the vehicle, data exchange between cars and infrastructure happens via the cloud, and at the same time, it can be vulnerable to hackers. Thus, advances in connected cars also come with security challenges. As a result, connected cars need to secure their systems and overcome security challenges. Considering the potential of connected cars for the automotive cybersecurity market, prominent players are strategizing to expand their businesses to increase their market shares. For instance,

• In October 2021, Fujitsu Limited (Japan) collaborated with Trend Micro (Japan) to strengthen connected car security measures.
• In February 2021, eSOL Co., Ltd. (Japan) and Karamba Security Ltd. (Israel) combined eSOL’s eMCOS and Karamba’s XGuard solutions to offer advanced cyber-protection for connected cars.
