Across Europe, North America and Latin America, the number of vehicles compatible with native in-car app distribution is projected to grow from 24.41 million in 2025 to 191.87 million by 2031.
Europe is set to grow from 6.6 million at the end of 2025 to 60 million by 2031.
But for app publishers, this is not one global opportunity. It is a complex network of markets, automotive brands and digital ecosystems each offering a different route into the car.
OEMs are developing distinct strategies shaped by:
- Their position in each country and vehicle segment
- Their infotainment and operating-system choices
- Their app stores and distribution models
- Their technology and aggregation partners
- Their current installed base and future growth potential
Established European, North American and Latin American manufacturers already offer considerable reach. At the same time, fast-growing Chinese OEMs are expanding internationally and creating entirely new opportunities for app publishers.
The real opportunity is not simply reaching nearly 192 million vehicles. It is identifying which brands, markets and ecosystems offer the greatest potential for your app.
Where should your app be?
- Which countries and regions should you prioritize?
- Which automotive brands offer the strongest addressable reach?
- Which OEMs are gaining market share?
- Which operating systems should you support?
- Which competing and complementary apps are already available?
- Should you integrate directly, through an app store or via an aggregator?
- Which partners and decision-makers should you approach?
