Automotive Market to Grow with a CAGR of 3.5% through 2030

The global automotive market is expanding due to rising EV adoption, smart mobility solutions, technological advancements, and supportive government policies driving innovation, sustainability, and consumer demand across vehicle segments.

According to TechSci Research report, “Automotive Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global automotive market was valued at USD 3.11 Trillion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.82 Trillion by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period. The global automotive market is navigating a transformative phase shaped by evolving consumer preferences, regulatory shifts, and rapid technological innovation. As automakers adapt to increasingly dynamic global conditions, the focus has shifted from pure performance and affordability to sustainability, connectivity, and personalization. Consumers are now placing greater emphasis on vehicles that integrate seamlessly into their digital lifestyles, driving demand for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment solutions, and connected car services. Governments across the world are actively supporting this evolution through a mix of incentives, mandates, and infrastructure development, particularly to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In parallel, the rise of shared mobility, subscription-based vehicle models, and the growing popularity of compact urban vehicles are redefining ownership paradigms and influencing automaker strategies.

However, these opportunities come alongside several complex challenges. The global semiconductor shortage has disrupted automotive supply chains, leading to production slowdowns and delayed deliveries across segments. In addition, geopolitical instability and fluctuating raw material prices have heightened operational costs and planning uncertainty for manufacturers. The increasing complexity of vehicle technology—from software to battery systems—also demands substantial R&D investments, straining the resources of smaller players and intensifying competition. Moreover, while EV momentum is growing, many regions still lack the necessary charging infrastructure or grid capacity to support mass adoption. These disparities can widen the gap between developed and emerging markets, complicating global expansion plans. Nonetheless, the automotive industry remains resilient, with companies actively forging partnerships, investing in vertical integration, and leveraging digital platforms to maintain agility and consumer engagement. As these forces continue to reshape the landscape, companies that can balance innovation with operational discipline will be best positioned to lead the market through its next phase of growth.

Automotive Market is segmented into Vehicle Type, Propulsion Type and region.

Based on propulsion type, electric vehicles are the fastest-growing propulsion segment, transforming the global automotive landscape. EVs, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), are rapidly gaining market share due to supportive government policies, increasing consumer awareness of sustainability, and technological breakthroughs in battery energy density and charging infrastructure. Innovations in lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, along with price declines due to scale economies, are making EVs increasingly cost-competitive with ICE vehicles. Automakers across the globe are committing billions to EV development, setting deadlines to phase out fossil-fuel vehicles, and launching dedicated EV brands or platforms. Consumer demand is particularly high in urban centers where low-emission zones and fuel bans are being implemented. The expansion of fast-charging networks, improved vehicle range, and performance parity with ICE vehicles are further accelerating adoption. Additionally, fleet electrification across passenger transport, ride-hailing, and commercial delivery—boosts volume. As EV ownership becomes mainstream, auxiliary markets for EV maintenance, battery recycling, software updates, and charging services are also emerging, adding significant value to this segment.

Based on region, South America, particularly Brazil and Argentina, is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the global automotive market. The growth is fueled by economic recovery, domestic production resurgence, and rising demand for passenger vehicles and low-cost electric mobility. Brazil, the region’s largest market, is benefiting from government support for ethanol-powered vehicles and gradual EV integration. Increasing consumer awareness, improving financing options, and renewed trade policies under MERCOSUR are also supporting vehicle sales. While infrastructure and economic volatility pose challenges, the untapped market potential and rising local manufacturing capacities are attracting global OEMs. With EV growth beginning to take shape and the demand for affordable mobility surging post-COVID, South America is poised for rapid growth over the next decade.

“A key trend in the automotive market is the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI) is reshaping how drivers interact with their vehicles and how vehicles respond to complex environments. AI algorithms are now embedded in multiple aspects of vehicle operation—from perception and decision-making in autonomous driving to natural language processing in voice-activated controls. AI-powered voice assistants, such as Mercedes-Benz's MBUX, BMW’s iDrive with Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant in Android Automotive OS, offer drivers intuitive ways to control navigation, climate, and infotainment systems without distraction. Beyond voice, gesture control, eye-tracking, and haptic feedback are being incorporated to enable safer and more immersive experiences. AI is also enhancing safety through predictive maintenance alerts, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, and driver fatigue monitoring—features that rely on real-time data from vehicle sensors and external inputs”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
