Automotive Engineering Services Market Revenue Statistics

Market Overview    

Automotive engineering services are solutions focused on improving vehicle design, manufacture, and performance of vehicles. It plays a fundamental role in the manufacture and processing of vehicle components that require the highest levels of quality for mechanical, electrical, and software systems. Automotive engineering services also cover upgrades to engines, transmissions, chassis, and components that will enhance vehicle performance and functionality. 

The increase in consumer demand for vehicle customization and personalization is prompting automakers to invest more in engineering services. The automotive engineering services market is also growing due to the demand for advanced ways of connectivity, such as navigation systems, connected vehicle systems, and advanced safety features. In addition, government initiatives supporting green vehicle technologies, such as electric vehicles and sustainable manufacturing, are driving the market.

Report Highlights 

  • By location, the in-house segment contributed the highest automotive engineering services market share in 2024. Automotive firms often choose in-house engineering to maintain control over critical processes such as design, development, and testing. The outsourcing segment is estimated to grow rapidly during the forecast period. With the continuous pressure for fast design, prototype, manufacture, and commercialize of new products, companies are relying more upon outsourcing engineering services.
  • By service, the prototyping segment held the largest market share in 2024. There is an increase in the use of advanced technologies, such as 3D printing, by the automotive industry to manufacture prototype assemblies, parts, or even entire vehicle models. The designing segment is predicted to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The changing focus of OEMs on creating a better user experience with contemporary vehicle products, comfortable interiors, and sophisticated in-vehicle entertainment systems has given rise to demand for ESO providers with design experience. 
  • By application, the powertrain and after-treatment segment captured the biggest market share in 2024, driven by the electrification of powertrains, replacing internal combustion engines (ICE) powered by gasoline and petroleum, which all lead to reduced carbon emissions. The body and chassis segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2025 to 2034. A significant increase in the production levels of environmentally friendly vehicles to meet minimum emission requirements.

R&D Investment in the Automotive Industry

Research and development (R&D) investments in the automotive industry are driving market growth through increased product innovation. Investment is also made to reduce development costs while addressing extreme government regulations, which expand the automotive engineering services market.

Developments in Autonomous Vehicles

Advanced automotive engineering services are necessary to strengthen autonomous vehicles' sensing capabilities to manage and interpret their environment. As automated driving occurs more widely, it is anticipated that the confluence of driverless vehicles will reduce accidents and street congestion due to human error.

Increased Digitization and Electrification

The automobile industry is also turning to automotive engineering services for the digitization and electrification of vehicles. Additionally, features such as advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and enhanced safety systems integrate ESPs are developing vehicles.
