The rising adoption of safety systems in autonomous and semi-autonomous cars at various levels of automation is expected to draw huge investment from key participants, thus driving regional industry demand in the years to come. Owing to the abovementioned advantages, the market exhibits high potential in the Asia Pacific countries.

Vertical integration provides numerous advantages, including low costs due to access to competitive international labor markets, reduced manufacturing and delivery times, and direct sourcing of raw materials. It adds significant value to the supply chain operations by providing vertically integrated services such as customization and component design.

The stringent regulatory scenario in selected geographies has accredited the inclusion of safety sensors in a vehicle, further estimated to drive growth in the automobile market. Collision avoidance systems are composed of software and hardware interfaces. While the cost of hardware, such as cameras and radar, is expected to decline, the need for cost-efficient software may offer an alternative source of revenue for service providers. The industry is anticipated to witness strident growth over the next eight years owing to the surge in efforts toward the development of fully autonomous cars.

The installation base of advanced safety features is increasing exponentially. Accident data recorder systems, alcohol ignition interlocks, and emergency call systems are examples of technologies whose future demand is expected to spur market growth. Safety legislation is driving many safety features. The European Union will mandate several applications within the next few years. Low-speed collision avoidance and driver assistance systems are anticipated to be among the most popular technologies. The integration of map-enabled systems also provides diverse application options leading to advantages, such as lane departure systems, driver assistance systems, and intelligent front lighting systems enabled by the united adaptive front lighting.

Safety technologies include LiDAR sensors, data transmission, collision warnings, speed alerts, and map-supported adaptive front lighting. The safety technologies, such as occupant protection, are estimated to grow rapidly over the forecast period. Automotive manufacturers have been focusing on passenger safety by adopting high-volume mainstream implementations. It has led to modifications in the legal framework to regulate a balance between governmental safety concerns and the unobstructed development of ADAS. The advent of autonomous technology in vehicles is expected to reduce road accidents and lead to better road space management to reduce congestion.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) attempts to control driver support technologies and the direction of automotive collision avoidance. The government is expected to mandate the fitment of the V2V safety technology in future cars. In addition, the U.S. Association of Automobile Manufacturers is expected to leverage rear-view cameras and eliminate side-view mirrors, which can reduce noise and fuel consumption. The New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) in Europe and Asia Pacific regions has been mandating the AEB and lane departure warning systems for the large-scale adoption of active safety systems. Euro NCAP awards the new and active safety systems within its advanced program to encourage OEMs to extend the development of safety systems.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.7% in 2022. The growing adoption of administrative regulations mandating the installation of automotive safety technologies in both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles in the region is anticipated to increase automotive LiDAR sales. The key industry trends include incorporating LiDAR sensors in dynamic remote sensing applications and collision avoidance technologies. The automotive sector contributed a major proportion of ADAS application-based LiDAR system sales in the North American and European regions.

The Netherlands and Sweden are amongst the few countries where OEMs may deploy these cars, owing to better management in the small-scale deployment. Furthermore, regulations on vehicle emissions in European countries and growing energy prices may instigate consumers in Germany and the UK to install advanced safety features in their automobiles alongside a switch to fully autonomous vehicles. It is expected to spur the sales of LiDAR systems in the region.

Application Insights

Based on the application, the global automotive LiDAR market is segmented into ADAS and autonomous cars. The ADAS segment is further sub-segmented into automatic emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control (ACC). The ADAS segment captured the largest revenue share of over 69.5% in 2022. ADAS features provide short- and long-range radars for car parking and active cruise controls. LiDAR helps in the 3D mapping of surroundings and utilizes dead reckoning sensors for odometry operations. The ultrasound feature helps in parking, pedestrian, and other obstacle detection. A Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor can detect blind spots and offer a side view to recognize a traffic sign.

Furthermore, the ADAS application segment is expected to gain prominence due to the surging incorporation of these sensors in numerous automotive safety applications, such as automated emergency braking (AEB) systems, particularly in the European and North American regions.

The autonomous cars segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR of 9.8% over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and self-driving vehicles.
