Network segment is expected to have largest share in the global automotive ethernet market
The network segment is expected to hold the largest share of the automotive ethernet industry during the forecast period. The network section of automotive ethernet is undergoing tremendous growth, exceeding other areas, as the vehicle landscape evolves toward smart features, connectivity, and autonomous driving. The necessity for high-bandwidth connection for infotainment and ADAS, the cost-effectiveness and scalability of ethernet compared to older CAN bus systems, and its role in enabling crucial technologies like V2X communication are all driving this boom. Moreover, automotive ethernet product and solution providers are working closely with automakers to develop and provide efficient solutions. For instance, NXP Semiconductors announced in July 2023 that it will be working together with Mahindra and Mahindra, Ltd. (India) over connected vehicles. Automotive ethernet, with its improved data processing capabilities and futureproof architecture, serves as the foundation for next-generation cars, assuring safer, more efficient, and more sophisticated transportation experiences.
2.5/5/10 Gbps bandwidth segment is estimated to exhibit the fastest growth in global automotive ethernet market
The 2.5/5/10 Gbps bandwidth range in automotive Ethernet signifies an exponential leap in data transfer rates. This facilitates ultra-high-speed communication within vehicles. This standard enables a host of highly data-intensive applications, including extremely high-definition multimedia streaming, intricate real-time sensor fusion for advanced autonomous driving systems, and the seamless integration of complex vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Moreover, IEEE 802.3ch defines these 2.5/5/10 Gbps bandwidths. They utilize PAM4 encoding, full duplex transmission, and a point-to-point topology.
These bandwidths allow the high data speeds required for autonomous driving systems. To deliver high-resolution video for image recognition, these applications demand lossless video transmission. Autonomous driving systems link to actuators capable of assuming control of the car. Moreover, there must be no interruptions in the video or other connections. Multiple companies in automotive ethernet market are providing products and solutions capable of supporting such high bandwidth. Moreover, Marvell Technology, Inc. released the automotive ethernet switch Q6223 in June 2023, which houses multiple PHYs capable of 2.5 Gbps data transfer speed.
