embedded hypervisor Market

The embedded hypervisor market size is expected to grow from US$ 5,046.7 million in 2021 to US$ 7,823.2 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2021-2028.

An RTOS enables real-time applications to process incoming data without significant buffering delays. Embedded hypervisors are considered to be the best security practices for network devices, as they protect hostile networks. These hypervisors run specific programs efficiently, with layered frameworks offering adequate modules protection. Due to technological advancements and increased adoption of IoT and AI in various industrial verticals, such as the automotive industry, aerospace and defense industries, and IT and telecom, the demand for embedded hypervisors has increased.

The market for embedded hypervisors is experiencing rapid growth in the automotive industry due to the increasing popularity of electric vehicles. This trend is fueling market growth as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) become more prevalent, using sensors like cameras and radars. The growing adoption of V2I and V2V features also boosts the market for embedded hypervisors.

The aerospace & defense industry is experiencing a growing need for layered-based security in critical components and systems. Real-time operating systems also contribute to the demand for embedded hypervisors. Many real-time applications require safety, security, and virtualization support. Moreover, increasing geopolitical tensions between neighboring countries such as India, China, and Pakistan, and ongoing wars in regions such as Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East & Africa have led governments to spend heavily on developing their defense security. For instance, the US Department of Defense (DOD) has requested $715 billion in funding, India's Defense budget for 2022-2023 is estimated at US$ 54.20 billion (Rs 4,05,470.15 crores), Saudi Arabia's 2021 defense budget totaled US$ 46.7 billion, and Russia's national defense budget is set to total $154 billion through 2022. As a result, the increasing defense budget has created numerous profitable opportunities for key vendors of embedded hypervisors.
