The automotive electronics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of automotive electronics has seen substantial growth in the past few years. The market is projected to expand from $295.42 billion in 2024 to $320.36 billion in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
The previous growth has been driven by the strong economic growth in developing markets, a surge in the demand for commercial vehicles, a rising demand for passenger vehicles and an increase in disposable income.
The automotive electronics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the automotive electronics market size is predicted to experience robust expansion, reaching a value of $454.87 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.
The growth during the forecast period can be linked to the rising demand for electric vehicles, a surge in automobile production, increase in government support, and the growing requirement for safety features in automobiles. The forecast period will also see significant trends including the employment of artificial intelligence technology, the introduction of sophisticated power electronics, the utilization of augmented reality (AR), the launching of new and groundbreaking products, and strategic alliances and collaborations aimed at broadening product portfolios and accelerating revenue.
The surge in electric vehicle usage is expected to bolster the expansion of the automotive electronics market. Electric vehicles, which are powered by electricity stored in batteries, are gaining traction due to numerous factors, including defenses against COVID-19 and the desire to reach net-zero emissions. Automotive electronics play a crucial role in these vehicles, particularly in the implementation of the electric powertrain system, which provides enhanced power. A report released by The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), showed that the collective sales of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the U.S. rose from 17.8% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in the first quarter of 2024 to 18.7% in the second quarter. This serves as an indication that the growing adoption of electric vehicles is propelling the growth of the automotive electronics market.

Top corporations in the automotive electronics industry concentrate on designing electronic elements such as high-amperage surface-mount fuses in order to improve dependability and safety in automotive and industrial electronic systems. High-amperage surface-mount fuses, small yet effective electrical components, function to safeguard circuits by withstanding high-current ratings and halting overloads and short circuits. In October 2023, American circuit protection and electronic components manufacturer, Littelfuse, unveiled their Ultra-High Amperage SMD Fuse Series. These specifically target circuit protection across applications, particularly in automotive and industrial electronics. The fuses, compact in their surface-mount design, are drawn by their capacity to endure high current ratings. Through blocking overloads and short circuits, they contribute to the reliability and safe functioning of electronic systems. Furthermore, these low profile fuses are perfectly suited for high-density applications, rendering them ideal for contemporary electronic gadgets.
