Asia Pacific held a dominant position in the global vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment market in 2026, owing to rapid development and testing of V2X vehicles and growing investment on connected vehicles infrastructure.

Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment market in 2026, and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to growing automotive sector in Asia Pacific coupled with growing investments in the automotive industry to develop C-V2X vehicles and V2X vehicles. In January 2020, Qualcomm Technologies Inc. introduced a new Qualcomm C-V2X reference platform for vehicular and roadside units (RSUs). It complements C-V2X communication solutions by offering computational power to deliver a full suite of 4G and 5G. In October 2021, Infineon Technologies announced to launch the SLS37 V2X hardware security module (HSM) and plug-and-play security solutions for V2X communication. The SLS37 V2X HSM is based on a highly secured, tamper-resistant microcontroller tailored to the security needs in V2X applications within the telematics control unit.

Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) segment is expected to drive the global vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment market during the forecast period.

In late 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to reallocate 75 MHz, with the upper 30MHz previously allocated for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) services now assigned to C-V2X. DSRC was viewed as crucial to unlocking vehicle-to-vehicle use cases and increasing safety features. However, the FCC's decision will essentially eliminate DSRC progress and fast-track the adoption of cellular vehicle-to-everything.
