Juniper Research: Connected car entertainment revenue to reach $600M in 2020

The adoption of connected in-vehicle infotainment systems will produce revenues exceeding $600 million (€550 million) in 2020, representing a 10-fold increase on this year. According to Juniper Research, consumer adoption of connected car entertainment will grow rapidly as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto gather traction. As these systems become firmly established, Juniper said it expects a wave of new applications to become available, specifically designed for in-vehicle use such as advanced traffic solutions, route optimisation, and in-vehicle gaming. According to the research, on-board systems with integrated wireless functionality will eventually push ahead of systems requiring the presence of a smartphone. Report
