| | AUGUST 20164CIOReviewEditorialVOL 4 · ISSUE 3-3 · AUGUST 17 - 2016Global market for Automotive Software is expected to be worth USD 10.1 billion by 2020, driven by the growing trend towards sensor fusion, focus on automotive haptics, integration of infotainment and telematics systems and adoption of on-board vehicle health monitoring and diagnostic systems. Similar to other industries, digitization, increasing automation, and new business models have revolutionized the automotive sector as well. These forces are giving rise to several disruptive technology-driven trends in this sector like diverse mobility, autonomous driving, electrification, and connectivity. Connectivity, and later autonomous technology, is believed to allow the car to become a platform for drivers and passengers to use their time in transit to consume novel forms of media and services or dedicate the freed-up time to other personal activities. The driver of growth in global car sales is the overall positive macroeconomic development, including the rise of the global consumer middle class. Consumers' new habit of using tailored solutions for each purpose will lead to new segments of specialized vehicles designed for very specific needs. At the same time, the aggressive transformation intent of manufacturers and suppliers is evident from the prediction that the worldwide Automotive Applications Market is expected to reach $6.3 billion by 2020. Customers are investing in automotive applications based on new features and capabilities that are expected to replace their existing legacy systems. In many cases, competitive upgrades and replacements that could have a profound impact on future market-share changes will become more widespread. Analytics could be the baseline for next-generation automobile apps not just for PLM to manufacture personalized cars, but also self-driving models that redefine transportation. Still supporting operations of global OEMs with unified systems will be top priority for apps vendors.In this issue, CIOReview presents to you 20 Most Promising Automotive Technology Solution Providers who have successfully helped organizations with their innovative solutions.
