Demand for Automotive Radar and Impact of COVID-19……..
The global automotive
radar market size is expected
to reach USD 12.16 billion by 2025,
growing at a CAGR of 20.8%,
according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing focus
on active safety features, innovations in the radar technology, decreasing
prices of components, and increasing sales of vehicles are the propelling
factors for market growth. Radars play a vital role in detecting objects in
various safety systems including adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection
system, blind spot detection, and automated emergency braking.
The automotive & transportation industry
is amongst the most exposed verticals to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and is
currently amidst unprecedented uncertainty. COVID-19 is expected to have a
significant impact on the supply chain and product demand in the automotive
sector. The industry's concern has moved on from being centered on supply chain
disruption from China to the overall slump in demand for automotive products.
The demand for commercial vehicles is expected to plummet with the shutdown of
all non-essential services. Furthermore, changes in consumer buying behavior
owing to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic may have serious implications on
the near future growth of the industry. Meanwhile, liquidity shortfall and cash
crunch have already impacted the sales of fleet operators, which is further
expected to widen over the next few months. We are continuously monitoring the
COVID-19 pandemic, and assessing its impact on the growth of the automotive
& transportation industry. The report will account for Covid19 as a key
market contributor.
In order to achieve complete vehicle
autonomy, it is essential for automakers to focus on the enhancement of the
radar technology and subsequently on the reduction in the size of radar
systems. One of the major hurdles hampering the growth of automotive radars is
the lack of uniform frequency allocation across the globe. Moreover, the use of
higher frequency band is likely to lead to higher resolution benefits and
promote the use of a single technology for all applications, thereby reducing
the risk of mutual interference. The European Commission has already initiated
the 79 GHz project for vehicular radars, which has been the foundation for the
future development of the automotive radar industry.
The market is characterized by the
presence of prominent automotive electronics manufacturers including
Continental AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, and Texas
Instruments, among others. Strong R&D capabilities have led to the
development of application-oriented radars. Additionally, they have assisted
radar manufacturers in complying with different frequency standards present in
different countries.

According to the World Health
Organization, globally 1.25 million people suffer from death due to road
traffic crashes each year. Road accidents are likely to become the seventh
leading cause of death by 2030 if appropriate measures to increase vehicle
safety are not taken. Thus, the need to protect drivers and passengers from
potential accidents would play an important role in determining the market
growth.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
·
Medium & short range radar
is the fastest growing segment in terms of range, owing to their growing use in
numerous applications, such as blind spot detection, lane change assist, and
park assist, among others.
·
In terms of vehicle types, the
passenger car segment is projected to drive the market, owing to the rising
radar-based safety systems in mid-priced passenger cars.
·
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
is projected to hold the largest market size by 2025 owing to rising safety
concerns among growing automotive markets such as India and China.
·
Increasing efforts from the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety, and prominent automakers operating in the U.S. for
mandating the installation of AEBs in all cars by 2022 are likely to boost the
automotive radar market.
·
The European region held the
largest market size in 2016, which is attributed to the increased stringency in
safety norms and NCAP rating.
·
The Asia Pacific region is projected
to grow at the highest CAGR owing to the rapid adoption of radar-based safety
features and increasing vehicle production.
The
global automotive radar market size was valued at USD 2,253.8 million in
2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.8% over the forecast period. The
rising number of accidents and growing need for safer mobility are the primary
factors driving the market growth. In addition, the growing trend of autonomous
vehicles coupled with increasing vehicle electrification is expected to foster
the growth prospects for automotive radar.
Stringent
government regulations and favorable initiatives in the field of radar systems
have promoted the development of vehicle safety systems and are, thus, expected
to drive the widespread adoption of radar-based safety systems over the
forecast period. Additionally, the decreasing vehicle electronic prices and
advancements in the automotive technology are likely to support the usage of
automotive radar. Its implementation enables the accurate detection of objects
and ensures better vehicle safety.
According
to the World Health Organization (WHO), if the global vehicle safety standards
is not strengthened by 2030, road traffic crashes will be the seventh leading
cause of death. Approximately 90% of accidents on roads occur in developing
countries with low- and middle-income capacities, which also represents 54% of
the world's vehicle population. The absence of enhanced radar-based vehicle
safety systems in these countries presents automakers with a unique opportunity
to grow in the near future. The implementation of radar-based safety systems,
including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB),
Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and intelligent
park assist, among others, would not only increase vehicle safety but also
assist in achieving a higher level of vehicle automation.

Medium
& short range radar held the largest market share in 2016 and is expected
to be the fastest-growing segment. These radars are prominently used in safety
systems to detect objects in the vicinity of a vehicle. The systems include
features such as blind spot detection, lane change assist, and park assist. The
decreasing radar prices and increasing need to use more than two radars per
system for enhanced performance are likely to drive the market over the
forecast period.
Since
long range radars are prominently used in ACC, the increasing adoption of ACC
in mid-priced vehicles is expected to drive growth of the long range radar
segment over the forecast period. The segment accounted for a market share of
approximately 46% in 2016.
