概要

自動車エンジニアリングサービス市場規模、シェア、動向分析レポート:自動車タイプ別(乗用車、商用車)、サービス別(コンセプト/研究、設計、プロトタイピング、システム統合、テスト)、用途別(ADASと安全、電気・電子・車体制御、シャシー、コネクティビティサービス、インテリア・エクステリア・ボディエンジニアリング、パワートレイン・排気系、シミュレーション、電池開発と管理、充電器テスト、モーター制御、その他)予測期間(2024-2031年)

自動車エンジニアリングサービス市場は、予測期間中(2024-2031年)にCAGR 13.7%の大幅な成長が見込まれます。市場成長の背景には、電気自動車への関心の高まり、自動車業界における研究開発重視の高まり、自動車の排出ガス削減を目的とした政府の厳格な法律といった極めて重要な要因があります。Alliance for Automotive Innovation(AAI)によると、2022年11月、自動車エコシステムの合計は毎年1兆ドル以上を米国経済にもたらし、これはGDPの4.9%に相当します。米国における自動車の製造、販売、メンテナンスによって、毎年2,200億米ドル以上の連邦および州の歳入が生み出されています。

市場力学

自律走行車の普及拡大

自律走行車はソフトウェアの実行を支援し、人間の入力を必要とせずに輸送サービスを提供します。車両は様々なセンサー、アクチュエーター、機械学習システム、洗練された強力なアルゴリズムと組み合わされています。自律走行車は、ボディ・エレクトロニクス、電気、ADAS、人工知能ベースのネットワーキング・サービスなど、さまざまなサービスを統合しています。したがって、自動車エンジニアリングサービスの市場開発は、自律走行車の開発と展開によって促進されると予想されます。

自動車におけるコネクテッドサービスの需要増加

自動車に搭載されたコネクテッドサービスにより、顧客はメーカーのモバイルアプリを使って車を遠隔監視・管理できます。スマホを使えば、ユーザーは簡単に車の位置を特定できます。コネクテッドサービス技術を使えば、ユーザーはドアを開けたり、車の走行距離を確認したり、バッテリーを暖めたりすることもできます。さまざまな自動車メーカーが、専用のスマートフォンアプリや機能を使って、明確なコネクテッドサービスを提供しています。例えば、アウディはMy Audiと呼ばれるスマートフォンアプリや、Audi Connectと呼ばれるコネクテッドサービスを提供しています。したがって、自動車エンジニアリングサービス市場の成長は、OEM規格による連携サービスの開拓によって促進されると予想されます。
