• ADOPTION OF BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY IN VEHICLE SECURITY

The vehicle manufacturing companies were initially focused on using phones to improve convenience in vehicles. However, this entailed exposing the keys to the Internet, creating new risks for driver safety and cybersecurity. Hence, automotive manufacturers are working on developing alternative technologies that facilitate vehicle use without connecting to the Internet.

A biometric system, being a potential substitute for a cell phone security system, is a method of identifying a human by their unique characteristics. There are various biometric patterns such as fingerprint, retina, palm, face, voice, and iris. There are mainly three types of biometric modules within vehicle security systems: fingerprint recognition technique, embedded mainboard with various components, and human-machine communication module.

Fingerprint biometrics is used for personal detection in terms of security and reliability. Mainly, live fingerprint readers based on optical, thermal, and ultrasound approach are used. The two commonly used fingerprint matching techniques used are minutiae-based matching and pattern matching. Minutiae matching generally relies on minutiae matching, i.e., the location and direction of each point. On the other hand, pattern matching techniques involve the similarity and comparison between two images.

Restraints:

• POTENTIAL FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

A vehicle security system comprises several electronic components, such as microcontrollers, GSM modules, GPS modems, level shifter ICs, GSM modems, LEDs, LCD, relay drivers, proximity sensors, and motion sensors. It also comprises self-contained modules of complex interconnected electronic elements, such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, diodes, and fuses. The increasing number of components will increase the probability of system failure. Moreover, poor quality control during the manufacturing and assembly process may result in improper manufacturing of electronic components, which may cause failure. Such failures in the electronic components reduce the efficiency of the vehicle security system. Thus, the risk of potential operational failure is expected to limit the growth of the global vehicle security market during the forecast period.

To ensure reliability and safety even in the event of a system malfunction and reduce accidents and deaths, the security of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles is a growing concern.

Segmentation:

The global market for vehicle security has been segmented based on component, technology, vehicle type, and sales channel.

Based on component, the global vehicle security market has been segmented into central locking systems, remote keyless entry systems, ultrasonic intruder protection systems, automatic collision detection systems, automatic driver recognition systems, backup battery sirens, and others.Ultrasonic Intruder Protection System (UIP) refers to an intrusion detection sensor mounted on vehicles for security purposes. The system detects unauthorized access into the vehicle and activates an alarm or other notice to notify the people and the surroundings. Battery backup sirens are those in which the backup battery system supplies power to the alarm installed in vehicles when there is no power on the main car battery. Central locking system refers to the locking system in the vehicle, which grants access to lock and unlock the vehicle doors access only to authorized persons. This type of locking system is the one that locks and unlocks all doors of the vehicle with only one door, usually the driver's door. The growing concerns regarding automobile and passenger safety have led to the integration of automatic collision detection systems in vehicles. It comprises sensors and several other components that monitor the vehicle's speed, the speed of the vehicle in front of it, and the gap between the vehicles. A remote keyless entry system differs from a conventional key system as it performs the locking and unlocking of vehicle doors using the remote-control mechanism. Vehicle security systems rely on smart card systems or electronic alarms to avert vehicle thefts. To counter these attempts, the automotive component manufacturers developed a biometric driver recognition system that utilizes the driver's behavior to form a multimodal recognition system.

Based on technology, the global vehicle security market has been segmented into radio frequency identification, ultrasonic, and others.Ultrasonic sensors are generally used to trigger the alarm if a change in the air pressure is detected in the cabin of the vehicle. It does so by transmitting ultrasonic sound waves around the interior of the vehicle. Radiofrequency identification is a wireless non-contact use of radiofrequency waves to transfer data. The use of radio frequency identification systems for vehicle security purposes is becoming popular owing to its cost-effectiveness. The others segment includes break-in sensors, motion & tilt sensors, and window controller systems. Break-in sensors are designed to trigger an alarm when the glass is broken. These sensors are available in two types: glass break detectors and shock sensors.

Based on vehicle type, the global vehicle security market is bifurcated into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Passenger cars refer to road motor vehicles used to carry passengers rather than goods. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), passenger cars are vehicles that have the capacity of carrying not more than nine persons, including the driver. Commercial vehicles include mini-vans, trucks, coaches, buses, and other vehicles used to transport goods and passengers. The increasing demand for commercial vehicles in the processing, manufacturing, and logistics sectors and the continuous growth in the tourism and hospitality sectors propels commercial vehicles' demand.

Based on sales channel, the global vehicle security market has been segmented into Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket.OEMs are engaged in the production of parts and equipment that are being marketed by some other manufacturers. The major automotive component manufacturers are investing in research & development to offer vehicle security systems and modules and upgrade new technologies. Aftermarket is associated with the manufacture, remanufacture, and installation of vehicle security system parts after the vehicle is being retailed by an OEM.
