Market Growth Factors
Growing incorporation of AI and ML technologies
The automobile industry’s need for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) is being fuelled by developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Numerous benefits are provided by these cutting-edge technologies, including improved driver safety, tailored driving experiences, and reduced risk of unanticipated failures. Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology integration is a prominent application of AI that boosts the need for the market. Drivers can interact with the HMI more naturally and have more secure and convenient driving experiences by improving the accuracy & interpretation of speech recognition technologies.
Rising innovations in autonomous mobility solutions
With the development of driverless vehicles, drivers’ responsibilities are shifting from direct control to passive observation. This change calls for creating sophisticated HMIs that engage drivers while successfully communicating information to them. To handle novel situations like emergency reactions and driver-vehicle transfer, HMI must develop. For instance, Waymo, a division of Alphabet Inc., has developed HMI technology that offers real-time route information and enables passengers to make modifications using voice commands. With the help of this interface, passengers in driverless vehicles can travel with confidence.
Market Restraining Factors
Advanced HMI technologies are expensive
Modern Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technologies, which offer improved safety, convenience, and customization, have sped up the vehicle industry’s progress. These state-of-the-art HMI technologies demand specialized manufacturing procedures, cutting-edge hardware, and updated software that could raise expenses. Costs for end users are increased due to significant investments made by Tier 1 corporations and component suppliers in developing and deploying cutting-edge HMI technology. The cost of these technologies is expected to decrease as the automobile industry develops, making them cheaper and more readily available for a larger spectrum of consumers.
Vehicle Type Outlook

The urban population’s higher living standards, rising disposable income, and rapid urbanization have all enhanced peoples’ spending ability. Over the past few years, there has also been a significant increase in demand for commercial vehicles. This came about due to the growing necessity for commercial cars in most developed nations due to local logistical requirements. As a result, the commercial vehicle segment is anticipated to expand significantly during the projected period.
Display Size Outlook
On the basis of display size, the market is bifurcated into <5”, 5–10”, and >10”. In 2022, the 5-10" segment dominated the market with the maximum revenue share. The size of displays larger than 10 inches is expected to increase quickly. Numerous factors, such as the improved user experience offered by larger screens, the capacity to integrate cutting-edge functionalities and features, the contribution to design and aesthetics, the development of technology ensuring larger screens are more practical & affordable, and the competitive differentiation provided by larger screens, all contribute to this growth. As a result, the demand for large screen display sizes in the next years would be influenced by the expansion of high-end and mid-variant automobiles to boost status quotient and aesthetic appeal.
Technology Outlook
Based on technology, the market is classified into visual interface, acoustic interface, and others. The acoustic interface segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market in 2022. The market is being stimulated by the leading industry players’ use of cutting-edge technology, such as acoustic technology. This technique helps lighten the stress on the visual & sensory components of the HMI system.
Access Type Outlook
On the basis of access type, the market is fragmented into standard HMI system, and multimodal HMI system. The multimodal HMI system witnessed the largest segment revenue share in the market in 2022. An interface with numerous user-interaction options is known as a multimodal automotive HMI. Vehicles with cutting-edge infotainment systems frequently have this kind of HMI. Touchscreen displays, gesture control, speech recognition, and other technologies are some examples of multimodal HMIs.
Product Outlook
Based on product, the market is segmented into voice recognition system, rotary controllers, gesture recognition, central display, instrument cluster display, steering mounted control system, head-up display, and multifunction switches. In 2022, the gesture recognition segment projected a prominent revenue share in the market.
