The Global In-Vehicle Computer System Market is projected to reach USD 980 million by 2025 from USD 565 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 11.6%.
In-vehicle computer systems are designed to be used as network video recorder (NVR), in-vehicle gateways, and more, and offer high-performance computing and reliable communication for various automotive applications. These computers are ruggedized to withstand harsh vehicular environments, including vibration, shock, temperature, and electromagnetic interference. They are primarily used in specialized vehicles such as police patrol cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and other emergency response vehicles.
Key Drivers:
- Increasing automation levels and intelligent cruise controls
- Focus on customized solutions for specialized vehicles
- A shift toward IoT-based smart transportation

In addition, increasing growth and competitiveness in the US trucking industry would unveil major opportunities for in-vehicle computer manufacturers. Fleet managers are looking for measures to reduce unexpected downtime and avoid any hazardous driving environment for drivers. In-vehicle computers would facilitate seamless connectivity to monitor vehicle health and provide speed advisory for effective route optimization. According to the American Trucking Association, the trucking industry revenue for 2018 stood at USD 796.7 billion compared to USD 700.1 billion a year earlier. The cross-border freight is responsible for such astounding growth. For instance, trucks moved 67.4% of surface freight between the US and Canada and 83.5% of cross-border trade with Mexico. Demand from these three countries—Mexico, Canada, and the US—would help North American keep its leading position during the forecast period. Such growth would have a major impact on the low to medium processing powered in-vehicle computer systems for camera surveillance and maintenance related applications for commercial vehicles.

Increasing technical advancements have enabled emergency response vehicles to access accurate and real-time information from control rooms. For instance, police vehicles are now equipped with sophisticated equipment for ANPR and facial recognition. Manufacturers have designed in-vehicle computers with optional desktop-class GPUs for such graphics-heavy applications. These systems also support existing LTE and 3G communication systems for reliable data transmission. In-vehicle computers are capable of analyzing data from multiple input sources such as IP cameras, ID card readers, and speed radars. Due to initiatives like intelligent transportation systems (ITS), infrastructures, and vehicles can communicate easily from a distance. For instance, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances can send their real-time location to the central hub, and operators can provide priority pass lanes by clearing the signal and diverting additional traffic to different routes. Such initiatives would drastically reduce response or rescue time as lawmakers are investing in superior disaster and rescue management solutions to reduce casualties. This increasing focus would impact the in-vehicle computer system market positively for emergency rescue vehicles. The need for more specialized vehicles in the coming years would enhance the development of superior in-vehicle computers.
In-vehicle Computer System Market and Key Technology:
- Can Bus Protocol – The CAN bus protocol is a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and each individual node can freely read and write data on the network. Individual nodes use an attribution ID to identify a message and display priority of the message. If multiple nodes try to access the network, the message with a lower attribution ID will be allowed first. Lower priority messages will have to wait for clearance. The CAN bus system drastically simplifies the communication process among components and sensors.
- In-Vehicle Gateway – A gateway acts as a central hub that securely connects and transfers data between the central hub and the vehicle. For instance, traditionally, an ambulance used one modem for vehicle tracking or navigation and another separate modem or laptop to access the patient’s health report. However, in-vehicle computers can be used as an in-vehicle gateway for a single point of communication. These embedded computers (hardware) are designed for higher bandwidth, reliability, and ability to integrate an increasing number of devices due to its wide variety of I/O selection.
- Network Video Recorder (NVR) – Mobile/remote surveillance and recording are some of the major applications of in-vehicle computers for public transit, school buses, cash in transits, and police patrol cars. Network video recording allows the central hub or headquarters to monitor real-time in-vehicle activity. In-vehicle computers offer many PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports to connect and record multiple IP (internet protocol) camera feed simultaneously, even with 1080p recording. They are connected to LTE radio modems to transmit multiple H.264 video streams to a central station, making them a preferred choice for transportation video surveillance.
