Automotive Ethernet Market Set for Rapid Growth; Demand Forecast to Exceed 120 Million Nodes a Year by 2020

Boston, MA - February 07, 2012 - With the ever increasing amount of electronics in vehicles, and the demanding nature of high-end and emerging applications, there is a great need for high-speed communications protocols.  Emerging as front-runners for more wide-spread use are:
  • FlexRay;
  • MOST; and
  • Ethernet.
The Strategy Analytics Automotive Electronics Service (AES) report, “Automotive High Speed Networks,” predicts that Ethernet will see both the fastest growth and the largest volume by 2020.

The key breakthrough has been the BroadR-Reach physical layer, from Broadcom, now licensed to other semiconductor vendors, such as NXP.  This allows Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s to be transmitted over low-cost, unshielded twisted pair cables.

“Ethernet has gained significant momentum because it meets the requirement for higher-bandwidth bus networks which many feel cannot be met by existing protocols, such as CAN,” stated Ian Riches, Director, Global Automotive Practice.

“FlexRay will continue to find its niche and see volumes grow, but MOST node volumes are likely to start to tail off as we head toward 2020,” added Mark Fitzgerald, Associate Director in the Strategy Analytics Global Automotive Practice.
