5 Connected Car Business Opportunities for 2018

As the auto industry transitions into the age of Internet-connected vehicles, both challenges and opportunities await automakers and the plethora of technology providers that will help them along the journey. The new automotive revolution will drive connected car business development for years to come.

Connected Car Market Size

Connected vehicles are filling dealer lots at an increasing rate. Industry experts predict a quarter billion of them will be on the road by 2020, with market value reaching $141 billion globally by the same year. Contrast that with the paltry $24 billion market in 2014 and you can see a significant trend.

Whether the connected car industry remains a nascent market, or has moved beyond the definition, is up for debate. What is certain is that the auto industry is on the verge of transformation, and that the changes it experiences will create business opportunities well beyond the showroom floor.

Business Opportunities in the Connected Car Ecosystem
