(MENAFN- Market Press Release) April 5, 2025 3:27 am - The Automotive Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) market was valued at USD 3,213.7 million in 2024 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 19.2%. Request free copy of this report:

April 05, 2025 - The growing prevalence of cybersecurity threats and evolving regulatory requirements is a primary driver of revenue growth in the Automotive Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) market. Modern vehicles, mainly autonomous and electric models, are increasingly susceptible to cyberattacks that compromise essential systems such as dashboard displays, collision avoidance mechanisms, and vehicle control systems. Industry leaders in the automotive sector have ranked cybersecurity as the ninth most critical external challenge. From 2021 to the first half of 2023, the automotive industry experienced a significant surge of over 180% in global ransomware-related damages. It is rising from USD 74.7 million in 2021 to USD 209.6 million. Moreover, the financial losses due to system downtimes caused by cyberattacks also escalated considerably, reaching USD 1.99 billion in the first half of 2023.

However, data privacy and security concerns present a major challenge for the Automotive Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) market. As vehicles become more connected and increasingly dependent on remote software updates, they face heightened exposure to cyber risks such as hacking, unauthorized data access, and system tampering. To mitigate these threats, automakers and software providers must implement advanced security protocols, including strong encryption, authentication mechanisms, and intrusion detection systems. These measures significantly increase development costs and the burden of regulatory compliance. Furthermore, strict data protection regulations such as the GDPR in Europe and equivalent frameworks in other regions add additional layers of complexity to the deployment of FOTA solutions.
