Owing to the growing number of road accidents across the globe, including India, the demand for features which can enhance the safety and security features of vehicles is growing day by day. Attributed to this, automobile manufacturers are increasingly trying to develop new technologies in order to enhance the driving experience. These factors have led to the increasing penetration of connected and autonomous vehicles. Other than this, consumer are also creating requirement for in-vehicle digital systems and predictive maintenance, which is why vehicles are increasingly being converted into smart machines that are able to connect the driver with the outside world. Different automotive HMI products are multifunctional switches, instrument cluster, rear seat entertainment, head-up display, touch screen display, and steering mounted controls. Among all these, the demand for touch screen display is predicted to be the highest in the years to come, as these systems are widely being adopted in medium category cars. Acoustic, visual, and mechanical are the major interfaces of HMI, out of which, the demand for visual interface has been the highest up till now. Visual interfaces are increasingly be utilized in medium cars. Two major HMI access are standard and multimode, between which, the demand for standard HMI access was higher in the past. This is majorly due to the lower cost of these HMIs as compared to multimodal HMI access. This being said, the demand for multimode HMI access is expected to increase significantly in the near future, which is because of growing requirement for comfort and premium features in passenger cars. Multimodal HMIs further offer benefits such a faster interaction and enhanced recognition, which is also predicted to result in their rising demand in the near future in India. Major end-users of automotive HMIs are premium cars, economy cars, and medium cars. Automotive HMI comprises multiple systems which allow drivers to interact with their vehicle. It is not only a principal connector between the driver and vehicle, but also bridges the gap between the driver and interior systems in a passenger car. It uses various mechanisms such as voice commands, touch, and human body language as operating instructions to operate the systems in a vehicle. Innovation regarding different automotive HMI components is expected to drive the dynamics of Indian automotive HMI market in coming years. In terms of interface, the Indian automotive HMI market is segmented into visual interface, mechanical interface, and acoustic interface. Among these, visual interface has been the dominant category in terms of size. This category is also expected to see a significant growth during the forecast period, attributed to the increasing adoption of visual interface in medium cars. Geographically, the western region of the country held the largest share in the Indian automotive HMI market in 2017, benefited by the significant sales of medium and premium car sales. During the same year, the eastern region accounted for the lowest share in the market, due to low income levels and lower economic growth in this part of the country, restricting car sales in this region. The demand for different HMI products in the past was higher for medium vehicles in the country; however, the adoption of these products is projected to increase substantially in premium cars in the near future. This can be attributed to the growing sales of these vehicles in India on account of increasing disposable income of people. Geographically, the western region made the largest contribution to the Indian automotive HMI market. This is primarily owing to the rising sales of premium and medium cars in this part of the country. In conclusion, the demand for automotive HMI in India is growing due to the increasing penetration of connected and autonomous cars.
