Global Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) Market

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is used to maintain and control the speeds of connected vehicles automatically according to the traffic and weather conditions. Hence, the ACC systems have a great impact on the safety of the driver. The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system is generally used in large vehicles on the side view mirror to recognize the vehicles travelling behind the driver's vehicle. It alerts the driver about the vehicle's presence behind him by flashing an indicator or playing an audio signal. With the increase in accidents, the demand for vehicles with such advanced systems is increasing. This increase in demand is one of the major reasons for the growth of this market. The growth of the automobiles market is also triggering the growth of ACC and BSD market.

End-user/Technology

The end-users are the automotive vehicle end-users i.e. OEM and aftermarket.

The ACC systems make use of various sensors and lasers for their operation, that is, to control the speed of vehicles. Radar headway sensor, longitudinal controller and digital signal processor are used to achieve the overall process of increasing or decreasing the speed of the vehicle by detecting the motion of other vehicles and the traffic conditions. The BSD systems make use of cameras and sensors to generate information about the vehicles or objects i.e. the blind spots which are out of reach of the driver's vision.

Market Dynamics

The ACC and BSD market is growing significantly owing to the better economic conditions worldwide. The automobile industry is adopting the use of safety systems owing to the increasing number of accidents and hence the increasing demand of safety systems by consumers. There is high competition in this market are there are many key-players in the automobile industry. Continuous innovation is leading to upgradation of models by the manufacturers. These upgraded models can be used for various purposes.The government regulations and support for fuel-efficient and safe automobiles is also an important factor leading to the growth of this market.

The industry is facing some setbacks in the regions where the weather conditions are adverse, like the regions with heavy rainfall or snowfall. In such regions, the ACC and BSD systems fail to track and monitor the surrounding objects efficiently.
