  Surging demand for ADAS is driving the market growth

  
  

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.3 million people die each year as a result of traffic accidents, which cost the majority of nations about 3% of their GDP. Furthermore, over 46,000 people perish on American roads each year, according to Safe International Road Travel. There are 12.4 road fatalities for every 100,000 people in the United States. Another 4.4 million people suffer injuries severe enough to need medical attention. For Americans aged 1 to 54, traffic accidents are the number one killer. Additionally, compared to comparable nations in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan, the U.S. has the highest rate of fatal traffic accidents of any high-income nation—about 50% higher.

The National Safety Council estimates that ADAS technologies might avert 20,841 fatalities annually, or almost 62% of all traffic fatalities. Microcontrollers (MCUs) are being used, specified, and manufactured differently by designers as a result of the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The complex and developing nature of ADAS is anticipated to present numerous chances for technological advancements, partnerships, and innovation in the market under study. Thus, driving the Automotive Microcontrollers market revenue.
