Automotive RADAR Applications Market Trends

Technological innovations are driving the market growth

Market CAGR for automotive RADAR Applications is driven by the rising technological advancements and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electronic components like lidar, automotive RADAR with cloud storage and increasing preference for wireless communication are expected to provide a better safety environment to the consumer. Due to increased usage of park assistance, safety alarms, and collision avoidance, the importance of ultrasonic sensors and proximity sensors has risen. Moreover, applications such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot detection, and lane change assist are popularizing, and non-imaging RADAR will see sustained growth. Additionally, the increasing awareness regarding vehicle safety among customers has increased demand for components such as cruise control and blind-spot detection that can help drivers and decrease the number of accidents. Furthermore, the alarming increase in fatalities owing to vehicular accidents has compelled several governments to implement stringent regulations and actively encourage the growth of vehicle safety systems.

Hence, to ensure better vehicle safety, the widespread adoption of radar-based technology in automobiles is anticipated during the forecast period. Moreover, the rise in demand for safety features in automobiles drives the automotive RADAR applications market revenue. The demand for safety features, including collision avoidance systems, lane departure warnings, parking assistance, traction control, electronic stability control, tire pressure monitors, airbags, and telematics, is experiencing an upward trend due to increased road accidents worldwide. Automotive RADAR is a major component of advanced driver assistance systems, which can notice and organize certain objects on the road and, consequently, alert the driver of nearby events and road circumstances. In addition, road accidents are a major cause of death globally.

A tremendous expansion in the death rates due to road accidents has been observed. For instance, as per the World Health Organization report, nearly 1.3 million people pass away in road traffic crashes yearly. Road traffic injuries leading to death are higher among teenagers. These factors are leading to a surge in demand for vehicle safety features. Companies operating in the automobile sector are developing and introducing safety features to meet customers' needs. For instance, in February 2020, HELLA announced the latest 77 GHz RADAR technology production plan.
