Overview
Radar sensors extensively use Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar in order to detect stationary or moving objects. They are generally used for collision avoidance and other technology-driven safety features and are also used to detect distance and speed of the vehicle to prevent accidents. The use of radar sensors will help to minimize road accidents, thereby increasing driver safety.
Automotive radar sensors market have witnessed a tectonic surge over the past few years due to advancing technology, surging need for safety, and strict mandates from the government. The radar sensors technology is highly dependent on the growth of the automotive industry. The growing production of commercial and passenger vehicles is predicted to impact the growth of the automotive radar sensor market positively. In 2015, the overall production of four-wheeler was 90 million units and was anticipated to surpass 100 million units by 2020. The growing number of safety features in vehicles will further trigger the demand for radar sensors in technologies like advanced driver assistance systems. Automotive radar sensors are extensively used in applications like a forward collision warning system, autonomous braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, adaptive headlights, and parking assistance. Prominent automakers across the world are implementing basic collision avoidance systems to their mass-market models. Due to the increasing number of road accidents, governments are trying to improve road safety regulations and laws for making the vehicles safe for driving. This is further expected to trigger the consumption of advanced driver-assistance systems and automotive radar sensors market.
On the contrary, the high cost of radar sensors and its corresponding technology is considered one of the key factors restricting the growth of the market in the foreseeable future.
As per a detailed analysis by Market Research Future, the global automotive radar sensors market is estimated to garner a CAGR of 19.26% during the forecast period (2017-2023).
Segmentation
The automotive radar sensors market is segmented on the basis of range, application, and vehicle type.
By mode of application, the automotive radar sensors market is segmented into Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) and others. Among these, the ACC segment is likely to dominate the application segment as it allows the vehicle to adjust the speed automatically and maintain the safe distance between two vehicles.
Based on range, the automotive radar sensors market is segmented into short range, medium range, and long range. Among these, the short-range radar sensors segment is likely to dominate the future market owing to the extensive use of short-range sensors in adaptive cruise control systems.
The vehicle type segment comprises a commercial vehicle and passenger car.
