Automotive Market to Reach USD 3.26 Trillion by 2030 as AI-Driven Vehicles & Telematics Gain Momentum, Says Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the global automotive market reached USD 2.75 trillion in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 3.26 trillion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.46% during the forecast period. Stricter emissions regulations, falling battery costs, and enhanced digital cockpits are driving demand for electric and connected vehicles.
Automakers are consolidating platforms to invest in software and power electronics, while tier-1 suppliers are securing semiconductors and critical minerals. Investor focus is shifting toward battery manufacturing, silicon carbide production, and advanced driver-assistance technologies, reflecting confidence in long-term electrification, even as chip and cathode material shortages limit short-term production but boost pricing for leading suppliers.
Key Drivers Influencing Market Trends
Urban Emissions Control Policies
New emissions standards and zero-emission mandates worldwide are pushing automakers to shift away from traditional internal combustion engines. Cities are rolling out low-emission zones and incentive programs that favor electric vehicles, while regulators link battery recycling with emissions compliance. This evolving policy landscape is prompting the industry to prioritize investments in batteries, power electronics, and charging infrastructure, making clean propulsion a central focus for future vehicle strategies.
Connected Car and In-Vehicle Technology Growth
As advanced features like AI voice assistants, augmented-reality displays, and over-the-air updates become standard, automakers are boosting profits through software subscriptions and digital services. Connected cockpits also provide data for predictive maintenance, reducing costs and improving customer loyalty. This shift toward recurring software revenue strengthens the long-term value of each vehicle and enhances pricing power for tech-focused models.

Regional Market Overview
Asia-Pacific continues to lead the global automotive landscape, driven by strong EV momentum in China, rising small-car production in India, and rapid urban expansion across Southeast Asia. Policy incentives are boosting investment and jobs, helping make entry-level vehicles more accessible. Meanwhile, Japanese and South Korean automakers support regional export strength, even as slower domestic population growth limits sales in their home markets.
North America saw a solid recovery in light-vehicle demand as supply bottlenecks eased, helped by renewed fleet purchasing and supportive clean-vehicle incentives. Shifting emissions rules in major states and provinces are prompting automakers to refresh their electric lineups, backed by ongoing expansion of public charging networks. Meanwhile, Europe continues to push ahead with its transition to cleaner mobility despite higher energy costs, guided by tighter regulatory standards and urban policies that reward low-emission choices.
