Overview

The automotive Wi-Fi market is expected to grow strongly over the coming years, driven by rising adoption of connected infotainment systems, software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures, and digital cockpit platforms. Automakers are increasingly embedding Wi-Fi connectivity across both premium and mass-market vehicles to support wireless smartphone projection (such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), over-the-air (OTA) software updates, cloud-based services, and provide Wi-Fi hotspot access to in-vehicle occupants. As vehicles become more software-driven and display-heavy, Wi-Fi 6 adoption is expected to accelerate rapidly. By 2030, China and the US are expected to remain the leading automotive Wi-Fi markets globally, supported by strong adoption of connected vehicles and continued innovation in digital cockpits.
