The market for automotive simulation is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 11.9% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 3,439.3 Mn by 2027.
The automotive simulation is advanced software that stimulates passenger vehicles and components for testing & development of driver assistance systems, vehicle dynamic controls, onboard power electronics, and engine controls. The automotive simulation reproduces the characteristics of real vehicles in a virtual environment by replicating the external factors and conditions that a vehicle interacts with. It also enables a person to learn driving without the risk of an accident with the original vehicle. Additionally, it helps OEMs to detect risks or defaults in the components before fixing them into the vehicle that enhances the efficiency of the product.
