OYSTER BAY, NY – Connected automotive infotainment systems are expected to grow at a CAGR of 33.8% over the next five years, says ABI Research. Rapid expansion is expected in connected navigation and in-car Wi-Fi driving growth.

Developed regions, which accounted for more than 60% of shipments in 2014, will account for 37.4% of shipments in 2020.

Just over half of all systems will be ship in the Asia-Pacific region in 2020, says the research firm.

“This growth in connected infotainment is largely consumer driven, with OEMs and Tier One suppliers both recognizing the need to provide an integrated digital experience that is consistent and compatible with the remainder of the end-user’s consumer electronics,” said James Hodgson, research analyst.

Many OEMs have made commitments to equip the majority of their consumer vehicles shipping in 2020 with embedded connectivity. Nevertheless, a significant number of vehicles are still expected to rely on smartphone integration for connectivity, with shipments of telematics systems supporting such integration, on average expected to have a CAGR of 60.6% between 2015 and 2020.
