The term was introduced by Elmer Sperry.

The evolution of the automotive industry took a long time. Previously, cars and other automobiles were manufactured manually by assembling the parts by human workers. This process led the industry towards the development of various machinery and equipment to merge automobile parts. In the 1960s, the industry launched an advanced process to assemble the parts of a vehicle. 

COVID-19 Impact: Restrictions on Transportation Impeded Automotive Sales

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with automotive experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is attributable to automotive market growth demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19- The sudden outbreak of the pandemic created havoc in the global market. The pandemic and lockdown stagnated the growth of the market, and the automotive digital services market was no exception. The transport industry was put on hold, and the population was suggested not to step out of their homes to prevent the further spread of the pandemic. The general automobile sector and, consequently, the vehicle industry have both been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of new vehicle registrations fell during the year 2021 compared to 2020. Additionally, in the midst of the pandemic, a variety of players are attempting to come up with novel solutions to manage the condition, including the use of vehicles for medical supplies because they offer convenient, inexpensive conveyance with exceptional maneuverability.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Rapid Adoption of E-Vehicle to Surge Market Growth"

The demand for an electric vehicle is increasing as it works on electricity. These cars work on electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, which require a continuous supply of energy from batteries to manage. These automobiles use various batteries. There are several nickel-based designs among them, along with molten salt, lithium-ion, zinc-air, and others. Since traditional modes of transportation contribute to environmental pollution, electric vehicles were largely created to return them. Due to various technical breakthroughs, it has gained popularity. It outperforms traditional cars in terms of fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, ease of home charging, smoother driving, and reduced engine noise. Batteries, hybrids, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are the three different forms of electric vehicles. Additionally, electric cars are more efficient and require less maintenance. These factors are estimated to surge automotive market growth.

"Rising Popularity of Autonomous Vehicles to Propel Market Growth"

The capacity of automobiles to sense their surroundings, an autonomous or driverless vehicle can drive itself and carry out important tasks without the assistance of a human. It senses the environment and navigates by creating a dynamic 3D map of that environment using light detection and ranging (LiDAR), artificial intelligence (AI) software, radio detection and ranging (RADAR), and cameras. Most self-driving vehicles build and update an internal map of their surroundings using a variety of sensors, including RADAR. There are several degrees of autonomy, from fully autonomous to semi-autonomous, that require driver assistance. These vehicles also outperform traditional vehicles in terms of safety, fuel efficiency, and traffic congestion & emissions reduction due to their lower gas & battery capacity usage. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Cost of the Product to Challenge Market Growth"

The automotive market may experience challenges due to the high manufacturing cost and data management. The high cost of the product resists the middle-class population from purchasing advanced automotive, which is estimated to affect market growth.
