Radio Detection and ranging also known as RADAR, is electronic equipment that is used for tracing any object. The system which detects any objects within its radius by the use of radio waves in order to determine the spread angle, area and speed is called automotive RADAR. This system was initially developed for defense and military purposes, but it has witnessed a massive increase in use in the automobile sector as a result of ongoing technological innovations. These devices are installed in passenger vehicles in the form of radar sensors for delivering information such as angle, range, and Doppler velocity and also to help the drivers to avoid the collision.

Automotive Radar Market Insights

Stringent government regulations pertaining to vehicle safety and has led to an increase in demand for automotive RADAR systems. In addition to this, the adoption of ADAS technology (Advance Driver Assistance System)by OEMs has led to an augment in demand for automotive RADAR systems which in turn has driven the automotive RADAR market. In the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of radar sensors used per vehicle. This in turn has led to rapid growth in the automotive RADAR market. However, the use of these systems is considered illegal in some countries. This has proven to be a major restraint for the growth of the automotive RADAR market. Some of the Acts supporting this ban include the Communications Act of 1934 in the U.S. and the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949 in the U.K. In Australia, except Western Australia, the use of a RADAR detector is Illegal in all states. However, increasing awareness pertaining to the benefits of using these systems can bring in new opportunities for the major players in the automotive RADAR market. Some of the major trends in the automotive radar market include object identification, a high focus on safety with the inclusion of 360 degrees of vehicle surveillance, CAR2X (car 2 car and car 2 infrastructure communication), and rear-end crash avoidance.

A number of system and chip manufacturing companies are involved in the automotive RADAR market. Many players have adopted a different strategies for the development of the market. For instance, in June 2019, Vayyar Imaging from Tel Aviv launched its first automotive 4D point cloud application on a single radar chip. 4D point cloud transforms radar technology by constructing a real-time, high-resolution 4D visualization of both in-cabin and car exterior environments. The company’s Radar on a Chip (ROC) consists of 48 transceivers at 76-81GHz which allows over 2,000 virtual channels.

Automotive Radar Market Segmentation                                                                                             

The worldwide automotive radar market segmentation is based on the frequency, vehicle type, range type, application, and geography.

Automotive Radar Market By Frequency

• 24 GHz
• 77 GHz
• 79 GHz

According to an automotive radar industry analysis, the 77 GHz frequency segment is gaining significant attention in 2021. 77 GHz radar works at a frequency range of 76-81 GHz and is utilized for short-range applications such as collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. It has great accuracy and resolution but it is vulnerable to interference from other electrical components in the car. Due to its capacity to detect objects with high accuracy & function in a wide range of weather conditions, 77 GHz radar is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry.

Automotive Radar Market By Vehicle Type

• Passenger Vehicle
• Commercial Vehicle

According to the automotive radar market forecast, the commercial vehicle category is expected to expand the market in the coming years. The adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in commercial vehicles is increasing due to the advantages they provide in terms of efficiency and safety. The automotive radar market in this segment is predicted to increase due to the increasing need for ADAS in commercial vehicles.

Automotive Radar Market By Range Type

• Short Range RADAR
• Medium Range RADAR
• Long Range RADAR

In terms of range type, the medium-range segment leads the market in 2021. Medium-range radar refers to radar systems that can detect objects up to 250 meters away. Medium-range radar is mostly utilized for blind spot identification, lane change assistance, as well as rear cross-traffic alert. These systems employ radar to detect automobiles or other obstacles in the vehicle's blind spot or rear, alerting the driver to potential crashes. The growing need for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is propelling the medium-range radar industry forward.

Automotive Radar Market By Application

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
• Forward Collision Warning System
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Intelligent Park Assist
• Others

In terms of applications, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) segment is one of the leading segments in the market. ACC is a driver assistance technology that employs radar to keep a safe following distance between the vehicle in front. ACC detects the distance and velocity of the car in front using radar and changes the vehicle's speed accordingly. This can help reduce the risk of rear-end collisions while also improving driving efficiency.
