- Traffic information providers and the current market landscape
- Parking information services and providers
- Forecasts for navigation and traffic availability in infotainment systems
"The market for navigation will continue to grow due to a mix of factors, including new use cases where embedded maps are used for ADAS and enabling self-driving cars and lower cost embedded navigation solutions," said Greg Basich, senior analyst, Automotive Infotainment & Telematics service at Strategy Analytics.
A range of companies, ranging from HERE, TomTom, and Tier supplier Continental are developing variations on highly precise maps for ADAS and autonomous driving. Other companies, such as NNG and Telenav, are seeing increasing growth in the navigation market with a range of solution types, from embedded and hybrid to brought-in navigation products.
"High-precision navigation data will play an increasingly important role as the auto industry develops semi- and eventually fully autonomous cars," said Angelos Lakrintis, analyst, Autonomous Vehicles Service at Strategy Analytics.
With strong market interest in autonomous vehicles and related technologies, as can be seen by numerous navigation solution providers' shift of focus to that segment, Strategy Analytics will be launching a new Autonomous Vehicles Service in October, 2015, with Lakrintis set to publish new research in this subject area in the months to come.
