By Application Analysis


Growing Focus of End-users on Safety and Light Vehicle Structure to Drive the Demand for Body Engineering


By application, the market is categorized into body engineering, chassis engineering, powertrain engineering, safety systems, infotainment systems, and others (wheel assembly and autonomous & connected cars).


In 2023, the body engineering segment held the largest revenue share of the market. This is due to the electrification of lightweight EVs that take aerodynamics into account when replacing traditional patterns. Furthermore, the segment is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of EV technologies. In addition, there has been an emphasis from automotive industry on further integrating lightweight body materials into vehicles to reduce the overall weight and improve the aerodynamic ratios of vehicles.


The use of autonomous driving/ADAS will significantly grow throughout the forecast period due to its ability to detect and recognize its surroundings while providing safe mobility. ADAS consists of multiple sensors such as LIDAR, GPS, radar, inertial measurement units, and others that provide advanced sensory information and control system integrators for road navigation.


OEM investments in powertrain technologies and overall weight reduction are expected to boost the growth of the powertrain and chassis engineering segment. The market for infotainment systems is expanding due to a trend toward luxury and comfort with advanced features such as steering wheel audio controls, hands-free voice control, and touch-sensitive preset buttons. The safety systems include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Lane Departure. Most transport authorities have made it mandatory for OEMs to have these safety features from base versions of their vehicles. This has been a major factor propelling the growth of this segment in the market.


By Location Analysis


Feasible and Convenient Availability of Service Making the In-house Segment Grow in the Market


Based on location, the market is divided into in-house and outsource.


As major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) prefer to keep complex automotive engineering services such as powertrain design and engine and transmission systems for in-house development, the in-house segment held the largest portion of the overall market in 2023 These designs and optimizations differ from one OEM to the next and call for various methods and specializations that can be carried out internally for superior outcomes. It can also keep the design standards' confidentiality. Data security for technological advancements and automotive designs also contributes to this market's dominance.


The outsource segment is expected to grow at the highest growth rate owing to increasing focus from leading companies to outsource its designs and commercial projects to reduce the overall costing. Furthermore, lower capital investment companies are likely to go for outsourcing as it offers short term delivery of solutions and products without the need for high capital.
