Cybersecurity for Cars 2026-2031 – Rising Connected Vehicle Adoption Drives Market Growth
Regulation, connected EVs, ADAS, 5G/V2X and cloud adoption drive demand for lifecycle security, managed services and compliance tools, led by Asia-Pacific.
Global Market For Cybersecurity Of Cars Industry Cybersecurity Mark
Dublin, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Cybersecurity for Cars – Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026-2031)” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Cybersecurity for Cars Market to Reach USD 10.03 Billion by 2031, Expanding at a 16.12% CAGR
The global cybersecurity for cars market is estimated to reach USD 4.75 billion in 2026, up from USD 4.09 billion in 2025. The market is projected to attain USD 10.03 billion by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate of 16.12% from 2026 to 2031. Growth is being driven by expanding connected-vehicle fleets, stricter regulatory requirements, increasing software integration, and rising demand for secure cloud and over-the-air services.
Regulatory Mandates Reshape Automotive Cybersecurity
Global vehicle homologation increasingly depends on manufacturers demonstrating end-to-end cybersecurity throughout the vehicle lifecycle. UNECE R155 is expected to create a USD 2.1 billion compliance opportunity by 2030, as automotive manufacturers must address 69 attack vectors and maintain continuous monitoring capabilities.
ISO/SAE 21434 is also embedding cybersecurity engineering into vehicle concept, development, production, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning processes. These requirements are prompting automakers and suppliers to expand specialist teams, formalize risk-management procedures, and strengthen security documentation. Comparable regulations emerging in Japan and the United States are helping establish more consistent global automotive cybersecurity standards.
Connected Vehicles Expand the Automotive Attack Surface
Modern vehicles may contain as many as 150 electronic control units and approximately 100 million lines of software code, with software volumes expected to increase significantly by 2030. This growing complexity is placing pressure on legacy security architectures and increasing demand for embedded protection, real-time monitoring, secure firmware, and intrusion-detection technologies.
Backend servers account for 43% of reported incidents, while 95% of automotive cyberattacks originate remotely. The adoption of 5G-enabled vehicle-to-everything communications introduces additional high-bandwidth attack vectors across telematics gateways and connected infrastructure. Ransomware incidents targeting dealership and supplier networks also demonstrate that automotive cybersecurity risks extend beyond the vehicle to the wider mobility ecosystem.
