What Is Covered Under Automotive Radar Market?

Automotive radar refers to several sensor systems that contain a transmitter and a receiver, which help to transfer data to camera-sensing systems. These radars operate on frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar technology. The automotive radar can detect the speed and range of objects in the vicinity of the car. The main types of vehicles in automotive radar are passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger car market involves the use of automotive radar added into passenger car cabins to track passengers and objects inside the car. Automotive radars are used in passenger cars to enable essential safety and comfort features. The various ranges include long-range radar (LRR) and short and medium-range radar (S&MRR), which are available in several frequencies such as 24 GHz, 77 GHz, and 79 GHz. The various applications are adaptive cruise control (ACC), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot detection (BSD), forward-collision warning system, intelligent park assist, and others.

What Is The Automotive Radar Market Growth Forecast?

The automotive radar market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.18 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%.

What Is The Driver Of The Automotive Radar Market?

The rising number of road accidents is expected to propel the growth of the automotive radar market going forward. Accidents caused due to traffic collisions, negligence, or other reasons leading to injury or death of persons involved are referred to as road accidents. Automotive radar is one of the several sensor systems for collision avoidance, and pedestrian and cyclist detection, and it complements vision-based cameras, which help to detect vehicles and help to reduce accidents. For instance, in January 2024, according to Roads Australia, an Australia-based national industry organisation that works to enhance the country’s road network and overall transport safety, road fatalities in 2023 reached 1,266 people, which was a rise of roughly 7.3 percent compared with the total from the preceding twelve-month period. Therefore, rising road accidents propel automotive radar industry growth.
