Rising Demand for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Rapid shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, owing to the growing need for reducing carbon footprints, is proliferating the automotive instrument cluster market demand. Moreover, government bodies are launching favorable policies to encourage investments in the automotive industry. For instance, in February 2022, the Indian government announced that the subsidy under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) program was US$ 351 Million in 2023. This amount was nearly nine times the allocation for FY21. The demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is further expected to bolster the market growth. For instance, Toyota Australia added several improvements to its well-liked Corolla hatchback and sedan ranges in November 2022, including the hybrid powertrain and Toyota Connected Services capabilities.

Integration of infotainment and Navigation Systems

The integration of infotainment and navigation systems in the automotive instrument cluster systems is a key trend that is shaping the development of modern vehicle displays. The integration allows for a more consolidated and streamlined display. Modern instrument clusters are no longer limited to displaying basic vehicle information, they also encompass multifunctional displays that integrate entertainment, information, and navigation features. This integration enhances the driving experience by providing easy access to essential functions, such as global positioning system (GPS) navigation, traffic updates, multimedia playback, and smartphone connectivity. For instance, in February 2024, Peugeot announced its integration of ChatGPT artificial intelligence into its vehicles, making it one of the first car manufacturers to do so.

Government Regulations on Vehicle Safety and Fuel Efficiency

Government regulations regarding vehicle safety and fuel efficiency are stimulating innovations in the automotive instrument cluster market. For instance, regulations mandating the display of tire pressure monitoring, fuel efficiency, and emission levels have necessitated the development of more informative and sophisticated instrument clusters. Furthermore, these regulations aim to promote safer driving practices and reduce environmental impact through better fuel efficiency. Apart from this, to promote the production and purchase of electric vehicles and two-wheelers, the government has implemented several incentives and subsidies. To hasten the transition to electric vehicles, the rules were reinforced in 2023.
