Market Overview

The central location within a car where the driver may access and manage all of the features and functions is called an automotive control panel, additionally known as a dashboard or instrument panel. It is usually easily accessible and situated in front of the driver. The control panel contains controls for critical operations that include the ignition switch, steering wheel controls radio, navigation system, phone controls, pedals accelerator, brake, and clutch. On cars, it regulates the engine temperature gauge, petrol gauge, climate control, speedometer, tachometer, and signal lights. It is found in bicycles, aircraft, ships, boats, and other automobiles. The most advanced model features a touch screen and is manually operated. Control panels and other specialist equipment are becoming increasingly more in demand as the automobile industry shifts to electric vehicles (EVs). The demand for automotive control is mostly driven by the deployment of electric vehicles. Furthermore, the market is expanding as a result of the government's implementation of strict regulations requiring automobiles to weigh less to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The market for automotive control panels is also expanding as a result of the fast urbanization of the world, rising demand for comfortable interiors, and rising sales of premium vehicles.

Market Segmentation

The automotive control panel market share is classified into type and application.

• The manual control panel segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

Based on the type, the automotive control panel market is categorized into manual control panel, push button control panel, and touch screen control panel. Among these, the manual control panel segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. Manual control panels with physical buttons, knobs, and switches continue to provide several benefits, even despite the growing popularity of touchscreen interfaces. Even for basic features such as the music and climate controls, these controls are frequently easier to use and more easy. Manufacturing and maintaining manual control panels is less expensive than producing complex touchscreen devices. The reduced number of electronic components in the simplified design of the control panel leads to cheaper production and maintenance expenses.

• The passenger cars segment holds the highest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the application, the automotive control panel market is categorized into passenger cars, light commercial vehicle (LCV), and heavy commercial vehicle (HCV). Among these, the passenger cars segment holds the highest market share through the forecast period. The increase in the popularity of passenger cars, including luxury automobiles, SUVs, sedans, and electric vehicles, is a key driver of the segment's expansion. The advancement of user interfaces in high-end vehicles has an enormous effect on driving pleasure, safety, and intuitiveness. Modern features including voice control, augmented reality, and touchscreens are transforming vehicle control panel technology for passenger cars.
