Connected vehicles still at a gallop in 2021 when the shortage of vehicle chips deteriorated see an ever rise in penetration rate. In 2020, ICV sales worldwide registered 39.52 million units with a year-on-year upsurge of 36.6%, a figure projected to hit 53.2 million units in 2021 and more than 100 million units in 2025.

In China, a total of 14.6 million ICVs are sold in 2021, a figure expected to outnumber 26.0 million units with a penetration rate of above 90% in 2025.

ICV Sales and Penetration Rate in China

Based on that one set of T-Box / TCU (Telematics Control Unit) is configured for each vehicle and packaged with multi-in-one wireless communication module, the global shipments of automotive wireless communication module would reach 53.2 million units and that in China 14.6 million units in 2021, and the shipments worldwide will expectedly rise to 107.59 million units and that in China 26.54 million units in 2025.

Meanwhile, T-Box in a car has a growing value from RMB500-600 to RMB1,000-2,000 with the evolution of the T-Box toward the integrated module (4G+V2X, 5G, 5G+V2X, etc.) from a single 4G module. Actually, the integrated (incl. 5G, V2X, GNSS localization and WIFI) T-Box terminal in single vehicle is valued above RMB2,000, which spurs the automotive wireless communication module market to expand ever.

If by the vehicle communication module shipments in varied communication modes in China, the Chinese market of vehicle wireless communication modules is sized by RMB3.2 billion in 2021, a figure projected to report RMB9.14 billion in 2025.

- Foreign Tier1 customers: Quectel serves a total of over 60 tier1 suppliers around the globe; Fibocom taps into the international market through the acquisition of Sierra Wireless automotive operations; GosuncnWelink has such clients as Bosch, Continental, Yanfeng Visteon, Pioneer, Hyundai Mobis, and also cover the aftermarket OBD, etc.

Vehicle communication module is evolving towards an integration of 5G, C-V2X, GNSS, smart antennas, etc.

Vehicle infrastructure cooperation, automotive intelligence and synergy with 5G construction are underlined in the Strategy of Development and Innovation of Intelligent Vehicle (issued by National Development and Reform Commission together with other ten ministries in February 2020). As the growing demand for automotive communications is a boon for the wireless communication module market, the availability of 4G modules onto cars is on a rapid rise, and the automotive 5G communication module of more value accelerates to be popularized amid the robust need for OTA updates, high-definition entertainment inside the care as well as automated driving, etc.

The intelligent connected vehicles in the 5G era will bring a fundamental change in future mobility, which calls for a fusion of technologies like 4G/5G, C-V2X, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS high-precision localization, and which requires being integrated with onboard smart antennas. In short, the value of automotive wireless communication module continues to rise in the future.

The report is structured around the following:
• In terms of policy, economy and industrial chain development, China has the most ideal development environment in the world for automotive wireless communication module industry and more breakthroughs are hopefully made in technology and industry layout;
• Chinese automotive wireless communication module manufacturers are technologically leading the world, with more shipments than foreign competitors, but the industry features a high concentration of resources, which is easy to form an oligarch market;
• China's wireless communication modules are mainly sold in large quantities but at low prices, and the Chinese players have poor bargaining power. There is still a long way to go if they wish to explore the international market;
• Against the severe shortage of automotive chips over the recent two years, 5G / C-V2X vehicle module shipments hardly show explosive growth, and we look forward to a boom between 2023 and 2025;
• Although Chinese automotive wireless communication module manufacturers remain superior in T-Box production, it is actually not a piece of cake to access into the supply chain of world-renowned automakers and it takes time.
