In recent years, the in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) industry is undergoing profound changes, evolving from pure amusement like radio, audio and video to a versatile smart terminal that can process more complex information. IVI system will be a key portal for telematics services.

The global IVI system (incl. display) market was worth $19.6 billion in 2018, a figure projected to $20.8 billion in 2019 and soar to $29.2 billion in 2026 amid ever higher penetration, functional richness as well as multi-screen and large-screen tendencies.
