Automotive Radar Market Analysis Report, 2016 to 2024 | Hexa Research

Global Automotive Radar Market is expected to achieve significant growth over the forecast period on account of the advent of driverless vehicles as well as its flourishing utility in the automotive safety and assembly industry. The total market size is expected to be worth more than USD 5 billion by 2024.

Ever-increasing demand for automobile industry all over the world coupled with rising level of customer expectations regarding safety and automation features are expected to be the prime drivers for the industry. The advent of self-driven cars along with a shift in customer’s tastes and preferences in favor of fully automated driver assistance system is further expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.


The automotive radar helps in reducing traffic jams by assisting drivers with an efficient decision support system. Also, the radar endeavors to eliminate human error while driving thus diminishing the accident ratio, eventually minimizing the fatalities and widespread economic losses associated with it. Moreover, the automotive radar’s ability of indirectly increasing the fuel efficiency by streamlining traffic control is further anticipated to fuel the market demand over the foreseeable future.

Automotive Radars are the core range and speed sensors installed in an automobile. The system operates by emitting electromagnetic waves of radio-frequency and then absorbing the waves reflected back by nearby objects and vehicles. Electronic control unit (ECU) determines the distance and speed of the objects in the vicinity and based on the processed output of ECU, the system sends alerts and collision warnings to the drivers.
The automotive radar system forms the basis of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Its robust features and ability to withstand and work in harsh conditions like bad light, bad weather and extreme temperature makes them the most sought-after product by the automobile industry, thus propagating positive prospects for the future market growth.

Automotive Radars are mainly available in three essential categories: Long Range Radar (LRR), Medium Range Radar (MRR) and Short Range Radar (SRR) depending on the basis of their range coverage and application utility. Long Range Radar (millimeter-wave radar) is primarily used for adaptive cruise control (ACC) and delivers better operational efficiency as compared to camera system and LiDARs. On account of its high capabilities for velocity and distance detection, Milimeter-wave Radar market is expected to experience positive growth in the near future.

Short Range Radar systems are the Ultrasonic radars having detection capacity less than 5 meters, predominantly used in blind spot and side impact detection. Also, these radars provide parking assistance solutions. Severe government rules and regulations regarding automotive safety is expected to fuel the installation of this equipment in the vehicles, which in turn may boost the demand for ultrasonic radars over the forecast period.


The segment comprises of 24GHz and 77GHz chips. 24GHz variants are envisaged to find their application in various systems such as Rear Pre-crash System (RPS), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and traffic jam assist. It also assists drivers in lane-crossing by generating alerts about the rear vehicles. 77GHz are primarily used in adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems.

Stop & Go Adaptive cruise control system has two 24GHz chips on both sides and 77GHz radar in the center. The arrangement helps in detecting object and distance in the periphery of around 100-150 meters from the car. However, inaccuracy of object classification and recognition capabilities may act as a major hindrance in the growth of automotive radar market over the years to come.

Various major players are now keen on developing next generation radars, such as 79 GHz variant, which enables the drivers in executing semi-autonomous and autonomous decisions efficiently. This system is competent in detecting pedestrian and bicycle crossings and delivering superior operational accuracy. Camera based systems are also anticipated to follow positive growth arc on account of stringent government mandates for incorporating these systems in the vehicle. Rapid Technological changes may further propel the demand for distance warning as well as automatic emergency braking system in the near future.

On the basis of range, these devices can be further classified into Narrowband (NB) and ultra-wide band (UWB). They are driven by their ability to deliver greater accuracy in object detection and tracking. They offer greater degree of autonomy while driving by providing simultaneous 3D digital modeling. These systems are expected to follow positive growth trajectory in the near future on account of their superior performance and higher operational efficiency.

Europe is expected to gain and maintain its market share in Automotive Radar market on account of the presence of large number of automobile manufacturing companies in the region. Tremendous automobile sales and lower manufacturing cost are the prime drivers of growth in the Asia-Pacific region. United States is another major playfield for automotive radar market, expected to witness substantial growth on account of surging research and development activities.

Major players in the automotive radar market include Continental Automotive, Autoliv, Delphi, Valeo, Fujitsu Ten, Bosch, Hella and TRW (ZF).
