IDTechEx's new market report, "Autonomous Driving Software and AI in Automotive 2026-2046: Technologies, Markets, Players", provides an analysis of the software market for ADAS and autonomous driving software. Topic coverage includes business models, hardware, and software paradigms and trends developing in the market for ADAS and autonomous driving. IDTechEx provides 20-year forecast lines for cars by SAE level, software revenue from robotaxis, and global vehicle ADAS and autonomous driving software, split by region and SAE level. Forecasts are in unit sales and US$.
The automotive sector has been a traditionally hardware-centric industry. However, with the transition to software-defined vehicles and software-driven revenue, automotive OEMs and tier-one suppliers have looked to develop technologies to supply into an increasingly competitive market.
This report analyzes the software market for ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and autonomous driving (AD), providing forecasts of unit sales and yearly market size. Alongside the main software stack for these features, the report also goes into detail on trends seen in the ADAS and AD software market, including the applications of X-by-wire technologies, HD maps, and OTA (over-the-air) updates. The inclusion of more advanced technologies is paramount to the success of higher SAE levels of autonomous driving, whether that is in private vehicles or robotaxis. Robotaxis, by definition, are required to be at least SAE level 4, with IDTechEx forecasting a rapid growth of software-derived revenue from the sector, making it an almost US$1 billion market by 2046, at a CAGR of almost 50%.
