Connected car can be defined as a car that is equipped with a wireless local area network (Wireless LAN) and usually with internet. This connectivity allows the car to share data and internet access with any other device both outside and inside the vehicle. In addition, the car is also installed with special added technology that connects to internet or wireless LAN and provides additional benefits such as navigation, vehicle diagnosis, and others to the driver.

Connected car swiftly gained popularity among vehicles due to the introduction of advanced features such as advanced driving system, on-board entertainment, as well as vehicle and mobility management. The concept of connected car has also gained traction due to several government regulations, which has enabled the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket players to grow their business, which eventually boosts the growth of the connected car market.

Over time, various connectivity solutions have been developed by car manufacturers and service providers. This include the machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity platform. This M2M feature in a car enables interconnectivity between two connected cars. The car is equipped with numerous sensors and processors, which provide accurate and real-time information to the driver. This in turn fuels the adoption of connected cars across the globe, thus supplementing the growth of the connected car market.

Current trend for the installation of better and efficient connected car system in vehicles has increased due to its advantages such as better and increased vehicle efficiency. This has enabled the manufacturers to make continuous enhancements in existing connected car service; therefore, boosting the growth of the connected car market.

Factors such as rise in trend of connectivity solutions and ease of vehicle diagnosis fuel the growth of the connected cars market. In addition, increase in need for safety & security boosts the market growth. However, threat of data hacking and high installation cost hinder the market growth. Moreover, unavailability of uninterrupted & seamless connectivity restricts the growth of the market. Conversely, integration of intelligent transportation system in connected cars and improved performance of autonomous vehicles are anticipated to provide remunerative opportunities for market expansion.
