Automotive Radar Market Technological Advancements, Growth Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2026
Automotive radars are used for detecting objects
on the road and sensing distances between vehicles in real-time. These radars
help enhance driving efficiency and road safety. Automotive radars contain a
receiver and transmitter, and is used for sending and receiving waves for
detecting the distance, speed, and directions of objects. Collision detection,
warning and mitigation, collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring and
detection, lane change assistance, lane departure warning system, rear
cross-traffic alerts, and vulnerable road user detection are some of the
applications of automotive radar systems.
Increasing concern regarding safety is one of
the major factors driving growth of the automotive radar market.
Increasing demand for advanced safety system,
comfort, and convenience systems, and increasing number of road accidents are
expected to fuel growth of the automotive radar market. For
instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.25
million road accidents were reported worldwide in 2013,out of which around
93% road traffic deaths were reported in low- and middle-income economies and
over 50 million people were injured due to road accidents. Radar sensors
are responsible for collecting vital information such as range, angle, and
Doppler velocity, which is then used to determine the driving situation and
warn drivers regarding potential collisions to avoid blind spot crashes. Thus,
automotive radars increase safety, lower the risk of road accidents, and help
manage road traffic, which in turn, influencing vehicle manufacturers to
integrate advanced radar systems in vehicles. These factors are thus, expected
to propel growth of the automotive radar market in the near future.
High cost of automotive radars is one of the
major factors restraining growth of the market
The key factor restraining growth of the automotive
radar market is the high cost of these radar systems. For instance, according
to the Coherent Market Insights, in 2017, the costs for 24GHz, 77GHz, and 79GHz
automotive millimetre-wave radar sensor modules were around US$ 50, US$
150-220, and US$ 100-200, respectively. The cost of radars vary based on the
range of detection, namely short range, medium range, and long range.
Automakers thus refrain from using radar sensors in their vehicles, as it
increases the overall cost of the vehicle, which negatively impacts sales and
overall revenue. This in turn, is hampering growth of the market for automotive
radars.
Global Automotive Radar Market: Regional
Insights
The market for automotive radar in Europe
accounted for the largest share in 2017 and is expected to retain its dominance
over the forecast period (2018 – 2026). This growth is attributed to increasing
stringency of vehicle safety norms for both active and passive safety standards
on vehicles, by the European Commission (EC). For instance, the European
commission set up General Safety Regulation (EC 661/2009), which mandates the
use of electrical safety, electronic stability control, advanced emergency
braking, tyre pressure monitoring, driver safety-belt reminder for trucks and
buses. This, in turn, is expected to increase the installation of safety
systems in vehicles, which is further expected to propel growth of the
automotive radar market in Europe.

Global Automotive Radar Market: Competitive
Landscape
Key players operating in the global automotive
radar market include Continental AG, Denso Corporation,
Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, Valeo, NXP Semiconductors, HELLA
KGaA Hueck & Co., Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), Autoliv Inc., and ZF
Friedrichshafen AG.
Major players are adopting product development
strategies for strengthening their foothold in the market. For instance, in
2017, DENSO Corporation developed 24-GHz
submillimeter-wave rear and side radar sensor to help enhance vehicle safety
systems. This sensor is part of the automotive system, which helps drivers
identify and navigate around other vehicles when changing lanes or reversing
out of a parking space, and controls the autonomous emergency braking function
to avoid imminent collisions. Thus, in turn, is expected to offers Denso
Corporation a competitive edge in the global market.
