Automotive Software Vendors

While control systems have been pivotal in the automotive software market, challenges such as increased load capacity and costs have emerged as a result of increased ECU installations stemming from the advancement of ADAS.
To address these issues, Japanese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers have proactively asked their partners, including solution vendors, micro controller unit manufacturers, and semiconductor manufacturers, to develop next-generation automotive software oriented toward CASE, including Toyota's automotive OS, "Arene". Some of them integrated traditional Electronic Control Units (ECUs) into consolidated units. Additionally, microcontroller unit manufacturers and IT semiconductor manufacturers have started providing software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, which are expected to include control systems and overwhelm automotive IT vendors.
This research aims to clarify the following four aspects:
1) Automotive software-related-architecture
2) Automotive software market size
3) Market share by control system, automotive IT solution, and SDV
4) Market share by entrant
