The segment will become one of the largest parts of the rapidly growing Internet of things market, according to the analysts.
There will be more than 250 million connected cars by the end of the decade, according to Gartner analysts.
In a report Jan. 26, the analysts said that vehicles are becoming an increasingly large part of the burgeoning Internet of things (IoT) market, and that will only grow over the next few years, with one in five cars having some form of wireless network connectivity by 2020. As cars are becoming more connected, it will lead to new in-vehicle services and self-driving capabilities. In-car connectivity already is beginning to move from luxury and premium vehicles into more midrange cars, according to James Hines, research director at Gartner.
"The increased consumption and creation of digital content within the vehicle will drive the need for more sophisticated infotainment systems, creating opportunities for application processors, graphics accelerators, displays and human-machine interface technologies," Hines said in a statement. "At the same time, new concepts of mobility and vehicle usage will lead to new business models and expansion of alternatives to car ownership, especially in urban environments."
The IoT is expected to grow rapidly over the next several years as more devices and systems—from smartphones and tablets to cars, home appliances, industrial systems and surveillance cameras—become connected to the Internet and each other. The numbers vary—Gartner analysts predict that the number of connected things will grow from 4.9 billion this year to 25 billion in 2020, while Cisco Systems said it will go from 25 billion last year to 50 billion at the end of the decade—but the trajectory is upward.
