This research service analyzes over-the-air (OTA) updates from Asian original equipment manufacturers and examines opportunities for market participants to enhance their OTA capabilities and gain a competitive edge. The study looks at both firmware OTA (FOTA) and software OTA (SOTA) strategies. The growing use of embedded technology and 5G will boost the use of connected services and advanced infotainment services, which will drive OTA software updates that create more personalized experiences.

It offers profiles of the Hyundai Group, Toyota Group, and Honda Group, outlining their service and subsegment penetration for each OTA update type. The study also breaks down the number of OTA updates each company offers per category. Country-specific analyses have been provided for Japan, South Korea, and India.
The study identifies the factors driving and restraining growth in this space and examines several use cases for automakers. It concludes by highlighting the growth opportunities emerging from this space for market players and stakeholders to leverage.
