Automotive Radar Market Size

The global automotive radar market size was valued at USD 7.2 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 8.1 billion in 2026 to USD 29.2 billion in 2035 at a CAGR of 15.3%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

Increasing penetration of ADAS has pushed the demand for automotive radars, as they are one of the main components of ADAS. The growing patent applications on ADAS simplify the continuous demand for radars.
 

In 2025, over 3,850 patents have been filed on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). It is up about 10% compared to 2024. Such increasing numbers every year reflect how key players are seeing potential opportunities with ADAS in the coming years.
 

Additionally, the automotive industry is seeing a growth in the connected vehicle landscape. A connected vehicle comes up with many radars to solve the industry need. It enables a car to be featured with basic ADAS, such as adaptive cruise control or automatic emergency braking.
 

According to Statista, it is projected that by 2025, there will be over 400 million connected cars in operation. Moreover, we estimate that the connected car market is expected to reach over USD 99 billion by 2034, showing an impressive CAGR between 2025 and 2034. Such statistics reflect the potential growth opportunities emerging within the connected vehicles domain.
 

Geographically, the Asia Pacific region has dominated the market because of China’s dominance in the passenger vehicle sales. In 2024, over 27.5 million passenger cars were sold in China, accounting for around 31% of global car sales. The increasing dominance and continuous will enable manufacturers to prioritize local production of cars that will support the region’s continuous dominance in the market.
 

Automotive Radar Market Trends

AI and ML are being used in ADAS to make vehicles work better. These technologies use radar data in real time to help vehicles make quick decisions and predict actions. This helps vehicles avoid crashes, improve cruise control, and handle traffic more easily.
 

In October 2025, Gauzy launched its new Smart-Vision Camera Monitor System (CMS) for buses and coaches. This AI-powered advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) was shown at Gauzy's Booth 711 in Hall 7 and on four buses at Yutong's Booth 305 in Hall 3.
 

Short-range radar is becoming more important for parking assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and preventing low-speed collisions. It detects objects accurately at close range, making it easier to move in crowded city areas.
 

OEMs are combining short-range radar with cameras and ultrasonic sensors. This combination improves accuracy, works well in bad weather, and offers affordable solutions for passenger and commercial vehicles.
 

In the future, the market is moving toward vehicles with Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomy. Radar will help these vehicles sense their surroundings, navigate traffic safely, reduce how often drivers need to take control, and speed up the use of semi-autonomous vehicles worldwide.
 

For instance, in December 2025, China approved two electric sedan models with Level-3 autonomous driving features to operate on public roads for the first time. The Changan model can drive itself in a single lane at speeds of up to 50 km per hour during traffic jams.
