Automotive engineering is the activity of designing and constructing automobiles with the combination of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering. Automotive engineering services are provided for designing and testing brake systems, engines, safety mechanisms, fuel technologies and transmission among others. Furthermore, the automotive engineering services market is segmented into service type, application, location, vehicle type, and regions. The service type is further segmented into concept/research, designing, prototyping, system integration, and testing.

Market Dynamics

The global automotive engineering market is particularly growing owing to the increasing demand for advanced connectivity solutions. The increasing carbon footprints result in increasing environmental concern, which in turn rising adoption of EVs and shared mobility for a greener environment is accelerating the market value. Increasing tie-ups between automotive OEMs and suppliers, along with increasing spending on R&D by global companies is further accelerating market growth. The governments of several countries are enforcing strict emission policies and regulations for ICE vehicles are an important factor propelling market growth. In addition, telecom and software companies are also investing in autonomous and connected car verticals, which are further expected to stimulate market value.

On the flip side, Intellectual Property (IP) constraint and shifting business model are expected to hamper the growth over the forecast period. Whereas, standardization of safety features and rising demand for autonomous vehicles is anticipated to create potential demand over the forecast period. In addition to these, rising demand for outsourcing of automotive engineering services is further expected to create potential demand over the forecast period.

By application, the connectivity services are projected to be the fastest-growing segment throughout the forecast period. The increasing autonomous vehicle testing practices coupled with the advancements in AI technology with the introduction of 5G connectivity in the automotive is also boosting the segment growth. Vehicle diagnostics, parking assistance, smart infotainment, and diagnostics are some of the features associated with the connectivity services, which are further expected to expand market share over the forecast period.

In-house automotive engineering services based on location are expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period. The segment is expected to gain positive growth due to the increasing preference of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for In-house development of complicated procedures including engine design, powertrain design, and transmission systems. In addition to these, the designs and optimization of automotive parts differ from one OEM to another for the same concern, it is preferred to be carried in-house for better results. These are some of the factors anticipated to augment demand over the forecast period from 2019 to 2026.

On the basis of vehicle type, passenger car is projected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period. The increasing demand for autonomous vehicles and simultaneously rising concern for environmental conditions such as air pollution and global warming are further boosting the growth of the segment over the forecast period.
