In-Vehicle Ethernet System Market: By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles, Heavy Commercial Vehicles), By Application (Chassis, Infotainment, Driver Assistance, Powertrain, Body & Comfort, and Others), By Bandwidth (10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps) and Geography

In-Vehicle Ethernet System Market size was valued at USD 2,385.4 million in 2023, growing at a 19.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2030. In-vehicle ethernet is a physical network used to connect various components in a vehicle with the help of a wired network. It is designed to meet electrical and bandwidth requirements. This arrangement reduces the cost of cabling and labor required by attaining synchronization, thereby reducing the network's complexity within the vehicle.

Moreover, the qualitative trends for the bandwidth, such as 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps & beyond, and application-related trends related to ADAS, infotainment, powertrains, chassis, etc., are incorporated in regional analysis. Ethernet tends to bypass traditional cabling for connectivity, allowing all vehicle components to connect with lighter and more effective wires. This alone has enabled manufacturers to reduce connectivity costs by 80% and cabling weight by 30%. Large-scale use of ethernet technology in In-Vehicle vehicles such as passenger cars and commercial In-Vehicle to boost the growth of the global In-Vehicle Ethernet market.

In addition, breakthroughs in autonomous vehicle technology and low costs of ethernet can boost global market trends. The massive use of advanced driver assistant systems and infotainment is projected to create new growth opportunities for the global market. However, a surge in cyber security assaults on ethernet is one of the factors that can pose a threat to the expansion of the global market.

In-Vehicle Ethernet System Market Key Developments:

• In 2021, Germany-based In-Vehicle software company Elektrobit launched the first In-Vehicle ethernet switch firmware for secure, high-performance, in-vehicle communications required for EVs, sophisticated ADAS, and self-driving vehicles. The firmware adds a layer of intelligence to In-Vehicle ethernet switches, thus enabling them to handle the immense network functions required to enhance the scalability, safety, and security of vehicles. It provides advanced network management and network security functions such as routing, gateways, firewalls, and network intrusion detection and prevention systems.
• In September 2022, KPIT Technologies, an Indian Software company, acquired 4 subsidiaries of Technical Engineering for $82.2 million (€ 80 million). The acquisition would help KPIT in offering one stop solutions for In-Vehicle Ethernet industry.
