HD Maps: The Backbone of Autonomous Vehicle Navigation

High-definition (HD) maps are revolutionizing the way autonomous vehicles perceive and navigate the world. Unlike traditional maps, HD maps offer centimeter-level accuracy, providing detailed information about road geometry, lane boundaries, traffic signals, and more. These maps act as a digital co-pilot, enabling self-driving cars to make informed decisions even in complex environments. As the backbone of autonomous vehicle navigation, HD maps ensure precision, safety, and efficiency on the road, paving the way for a smarter and more connected future in mobility.

The HD maps for autonomous vehicles market is estimated to be USD 1.4 Billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 31.7% during the forecast period, to reach USD 16.9 Billion by 2030.

Wide adoption of HD maps in passenger mobility segment expected to lead to market growth

Personal mobility is estimated to be the largest segment of the HD map for autonomous vehicle market, by usage type, owing to the higher volume of semi-autonomous vehicle sales, and a majority of semi-autonomous vehicles would be used for personal transportation. OEMs such as Honda, Nissan, General Motors, and Mercedes-Benz promote the use of HD map and use it to develop its level 2 and level 3 semi-autonomous vehicles. The commercial mobility segment is projected to be the fastest-growing because of the high demand for ride-sharing services, predominant usage of autonomous vehicles for ride-sharing and robo-taxi services, and growing partnership between ride-sharing companies and HD map providers.

Level 2&3 semi-autonomous vehicles to ensure dominant position of the segment

HD map market for Level 2&3 semi-autonomous vehicles is estimated to be the largest market, and the market for Level 4&5 autonomous vehicles is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. The semi-autonomous vehicle segment dominates because of the demand for features such as Co-operative Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, and Hands-free Auto Parking. Other factors include stringent laws concerning autonomous driving and a greater number of semi-autonomous vehicles on road than autonomous vehicles during the forecast period. Rapid advancements and the decreasing cost of ADAS components and solutions are expected to spur the growth of the HD map market for semi-autonomous vehicles. For example, ZF unveiled its coASSIST level 2+ driving system in 2020 with a price range of USD 1,000.
