Global Automotive Sensor Market

The Automotive industry has evolved drastically over the past decade, and vehicles have shifted from being mechanically controlled to having more electronic control over the mechanical parts. The rapid advancement of the microcontroller and sensor technology is giving rise to high levels of vehicle safety. This is done through the incorporation of components such as automotive sensors and actuators. The major function of these sensors and actuators is to provide passenger comfort, safety and improve the vehicle performance. The Global Automotive Sensors Market is driven by the increasing demand for the components such as magnetic sensors, wheel speed sensors, acceleration sensors and yaw rate sensors. Vehicles are incorporating the Airbag Systems, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Traction Control and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) systems to improve the vehicle safety. These functionalities not only reduce the burden of the driver in controlling the vehicle, but also prevent accidents by accurately measuring and applying the brake force required to stop the vehicle in case of impending accidents. The emerging trend of the addition of these components into the electronic system of the premium and luxury vehicles, through which safety can be increased significantly, is thus promoting the Automotive Sensors Market.

End-users

The end users of the Global Automotive Sensors Market are Automotive Companies, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), Component Manufacturers, Sensor Manufacturers, Chip Designers, Semiconductor companies, Integrated Device Manufacturers, Design Tool Vendors, and enterprises involved in M2M (Machine to Machine) and IOT (Internet of Things).

Market Dynamics

The key drivers of the Automotive Sensors Market are the safety standards of vehicles set by the government, stringent government regulations, and the changing demand of the consumer. Environmental concerns are also impacting this industry as automotive giants are being pushed to reduce emissions and increase the fuel economy. Automotive sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors are experiencing a surge in demand and deployment due to their diverse applications. Intelligent Parking Systems, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and Autonomous Vehicles are the future of mobility. In fact, incorporation of these functions is increasing the number of sensor content per vehicle. The passenger car segment, which has been segmented into low, medium and high- end vehicles, drives the demand for various kinds of sensors which need to be used in the vehicles based on the customer demand. Currently, the automotive sensors market is growing at a CAGR of 6.71%, and it is valued to be around $22.94 Billion, which is expected to reach $36.42 Billion by 2022. But the factor which is hampering the growth of this industry is the price competitive market, which forces the manufacturers to reduce the profit margins and provide technology at a lower cost. Stiff competition is also a cause for growth reduction.
