Automotive Radar Market Analysis
The Automotive Radar market was valued at USD 6.56 billion in 2022. It is expected to register a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period. The growth is significantly driven by the growing purchasing power of consumers leading to surging car sales, autonomous driving gaining traction, and regulatory bodies across countries mandating the inclusion of certain safety features and the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems on the rise. However, the impact of COVID-19 was severe on the automotive industry, leading to low manufacturing and sales recorded in 2020 due to the shutdown of manufacturing plans due to nationwide lockdowns and supply chain disruptions. While the early effects of the COVID-19 crisis presented a dip in the road, car sales and production are roaring back.
- Safety for drivers, passengers, and other road users has become of major interest during the last decades owing to the growing rate of road accidents globally. For instance, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 31785 people died in traffic crashes in the US in the first nine months of 2022. To this end, radar sensors were essential to detecting other vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists and the road environment. Radar is insensitive to bad light and severe weather conditions and can directly measure distance, radial velocity, and with a suitable antenna system, also the angle of remote objects.
- Moreover, government regulation in the automotive industry directly impacts the way cars look, the design of their components, the safety features incorporated, and the overall performance of any given vehicle. As a result, government regulation also significantly affects the automotive business. For instance, in October 2022, the Transport Department in India made many amendments to vehicle safety by including various vehicle safety features in two broad categories: active and passive safety. Hence, all carmakers must introduce these safety features to sell their cars in India. These factors have further promoted the role of the automotive radars market.
- For instance, in the beginning, the focus was on distance warning and crash avoidance, but with increasing maturity and complexity, functions included adaptive cruise control (ACC), automatic emergency brake (AEB), blind spot detection (BSD), or lane change assist (LCA). Nowadays, safety functions protecting passengers and vulnerable road users play a major role.
- Moreover, there is a significant rise in luxury and electric vehicle sales as, along with providing traditional comfort, convenience, entertainment, and safety features, luxury cars bristle with advanced connectivity elements, autonomous-driving options, and the latest powertrain electrification technologies. They also have some of the strongest brands in the industry. Moreover, automotive manufacturers' growing focus on seeing fleet of driverless cars efficiently delivering people to their destinations has captured and fueled billions of dollars in investment in recent years. Even after some setbacks that have been pushing out timelines for autonomous vehicle (AV) launches and delayed customer adoption, the mobility community still broadly agrees that autonomous driving (AD) has the potential to transform transportation, consumer behavior, and society at large.
Automotive Radar Market Trends
Rising deployment of ADAS
- With the discovery of radio waves and their ability to reflect on objects being understood, engineers are looking for newer applications based on their detection & ranging properties. The technique, referred to as Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging), primarily works on the principle of a source transmitting the radio wave, being reflected by a surface, and received and processed by a receiver system. The automotive application is one such major application where RADAR is seeing an unprecedented uptake.
- More specifically, with autonomous driving gaining traction and regulatory bodies across countries mandating the inclusion of certain security features, the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is on the rise. Thus, various sensing technologies currently use radar, infrared (IR), LiDAR (Light detection and ranging), ultrasonic, and camera-based. Each of these technologies has pros and cons, and most ADAS systems today rely on such technologies to facilitate reliable solutions to the market.
- One of the significant applications of Radar in ADAS is object detection, blind spot monitoring, and collision warning and mitigation. Both blind spot monitoring and object detection are based on radar technology, whereas collision mitigation systems utilize radar-based system data and adopt preventive measures like counter steering and braking to avoid accidents.
- Moreover, the rising use of electric vehicles (EVs) further drives vehicle digitization. This endeavor could act as a demand accelerator for more security functions and rising expectations for more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions.
- It could be assumed that advancing electrification can result in rising synergies in the further development of ADAS technology. Both EV and ADAS bring significant efficiency and sustainability advantages. For instance, as per a paper released in the MDPI Energies Journal, EV drivetrains are far more efficient than the internal combustion engines used in most cars and trucks today. The paper further states that electric power generation and delivery is comparatively more efficient than oil extraction, production, and delivery required to fuel gasoline-powered vehicles. This decreases greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants at every level, thus further taking up the scope of Radar technology in the automotive sector.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the market
- Asia-Pacific held a major market share in revenue during the forecast period. A rise in vehicle sales across the region is likely to increase the demand for sensors in the vehicle. The rise in demand for electric vehicles across the region also propels the market's growth. The major presence of manufacturing industries across China, India, and Japan is creating market growth opportunities.
- Due to increasing urbanization and stable economic conditions, automotive production in developing economies is growing faster than in developed economies. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China's automobile production topped 2.67 million units last month, up 28.1% from 2021. Moreover, as per Forbes, India surpassed Japan in new auto sales in 2022, making it the third-largest market. Additionally, Southeast Asia is also becoming a powerhouse for the automotive industry in Asia, recording significant production in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laon, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam,
- With increased safety concerns among consumers in the developing economies of India and the ASEAN countries, automobile manufacturers are incorporating more sensors in low-cost vehicles. It is expected to drive the demand for automotive sensors in the foreseeable future.
- Some of the world's fastest-growing economies are in the APAC region, with China and India leading the way. As a result, consumers in the middle class are more likely to purchase vehicles with advanced features like ADAS because they have more money to spend, thus driving the growth of the Automotive radar market in the region.
Automotive Radar Industry Overview
The Automotive Radar market is significantly competitive and consists of many players. In terms of market share, some of the players currently dominate the market. However, with the advancement in chip design across enterprises, new players are increasing their market presence, thereby expanding their business footprint across emerging economies.
In November 2022, Renesas Electronics Corporation announced its entry into the automotive radar market with the introduction of a 4x4-channel, 76-81GHz transceiver designed to meet the demanding need of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and Level 3 and higher autonomous driving applications. Renesas was expected to incorporate the new RAA270205 high-definition radar transceiver into its growing sensor fusion portfolio, which combined radar, vision systems, and other sensing modalities, leveraging automotive expertise accumulated through years of global customer engagements.
In October 2022, Rohde & Schwarz empowered the launch of a 4D imaging radar platform by an automotive radar manufacturer as Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes and their independently developed, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) provide the best measurement tools for automotive radar research and development. Notably, Cubtek in partnership with NXP. Cubtek Inc. utilized network analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz to develop 4D imaging radar for RF measurement of the E-band.
