Global HMI Trend Report 2025 edition
Summary
HMIpro Inc., a technical consulting firm of MarkLines, has compiled an in-depth HMI analysis report based on the results of HMI research conducted on 100 vehicle models from Japan, Europe, the United States, China, and Korea.
The findings are derived from detailed on-site investigations conducted at leading international exhibitions and motor shows, including the New York International Auto Show, Car HMI Europe, IAA Mobility, and other major automotive events worldwide.
The evaluations are carried out through hands-on assessments of actual vehicles by HMI specialists with several decades of experience in HMI research and development, ensuring that the report reflects practical, real-world usability rather than theoretical analysis alone.
Building on the strong positive reception of the Japanese edition released in 2025, we are pleased to introduce the English edition.
This report provides valuable insights into current HMI trends and technological developments, serving as a practical reference for industry professionals involved in automotive design, development, and strategic planning.
