Automotive Camera Market Size
Automotive Camera Market size surpassed USD 5.5 billion in 2018 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of over 19% between 2019 and 2025. The global industry shipments are expected to reach 300 million units by 2025.
The growing concerns regarding vehicle & passenger safety across the globe coupled with increasing technological advancements in camera-based driver assistant sensors are expected to drive the automotive camera market growth. The increasing sales of passenger vehicles owing to rise in consumer disposable income are further contributing to the industry growth.
Several government initiatives regarding passenger safety in economically advanced countries including the U.S. and Canada are surging the adoption of cameras in vehicles. The camera sensors are integrated with vehicles for various applications such as lane & side assist and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles. Moreover, the increased consumer awareness about ADAS systems is supporting the demand for advanced safety features in passenger vehicles, influencing the market expansion.
Automotive Camera Market Analysis
The stereo automotive camera segment is gaining high traction owing to its vehicle safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control systems (ACC), Forward Collision Warning systems (FCW), and lane assist systems. Stereo camera is an advanced technology that uses two cameras to capture images, calculating the distance between a camera and an object accurately. These components are used for autonomous driving & collision-sensing applications to improve vehicle safety.
Moreover, stereo systems consist of low-cost visible light cameras, offer distance information, and cover the entire field of view. The rapid adoption of these systems in various vehicles is boosting the automotive camera market demand.
The adoption of vehicle vision systems is rapidly increasing in Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) to provide lane departure assist, emergency braking, and forward collision warning to drivers. The automatic braking system typically uses cameras and sensors to detect pedestrians crossing the street and applies breaks automatically if a pedestrian is in danger of being hit. Lane departure warning system uses a camera to detect unintentional vehicle lane shift and alerts drivers to steer vehicles back to the lane.
Additionally, vehicle cameras are integrated with ADAS to aid the automatic switching of vehicles’ headlights in low light conditions. These components can capture the surrounding images and identify collision threats and inform drivers, driving the market revenue.
The rising passenger vehicle production in the emerging Asian economies, including India and China, due to rise in the middle-class income is slated to fuel the automotive camera market size. According to World Economic Forum, the number of passenger cars is anticipated to reach 2 billion by the end of 2040. The increasing adoption of safety features in passenger cars, such as auto park assist and lane departure warning, is increasing the adoption of these components.
The increasing road fatalities are compelling the demand for advanced safety features in all new cars. The in-cockpit camera system will transmit a warning sound if it detects drowsiness in drivers, which will help to reduce the number of road fatalities significantly. Additionally, various governments across the globe are implementing stringent laws regarding passenger safety, which will further add up to the market development.
The Europe automotive camera market is estimated to observe over 21% growth during the forecast period propelled by increasing production of passenger & commercial vehicles in the region. Furthermore, several regulations & safety standards for automobile companies in the EU for reducing number of road fatalities will provide lucrative opportunities for the car manufacturers operating in the market.
