Automotive Imaging Sensors Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Technology (ADAS technology, Autonomy Technology), By Vehicle Type (Electric Vehicles, Internal Combustion Engine, Hybrid), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

Description

Automotive Imaging Sensors Market Size:

The automotive imaging sensors market is expected to grow from USD 4.061 billion in 2025 to USD 6.769 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 10.76%.

The Automotive Imaging sensors offer extensive assessments with the highest level of accuracy for risk-free motor vehicle operation.  Identical hardware and software are used for diopter measurements and ADAS image analysis. As more sophisticated cameras and image sensor systems, such as surround view systems and ADAS applications for mirror replacement, are being installed all over vehicles to improve driver comfort and safety, the number of automotive image sensors currently on the market is expanding quickly. Global legal mandates and ever-expanding technical applications are also both actively contributing to higher attach rates of these systems and serving as a positive influence on the market. Image sensors have a number of benefits that are very useful to the automotive sector. Drivers can see the road much more clearly because of automotive image sensors' high sensitivity in low-light situations and high-speed imaging capabilities, which also improve daytime imaging performance. This benefit is particularly useful when driving at night or through tunnels. These sensors are particularly robust and sustainable since they have a lower risk of damage when employed in bright environments. The data transmitted from two distinct LED transmitters, positioned on the traffic light and rear LED array of the car, can be readily and concurrently collected by an automobile image sensor, which can help in providing essential insights while driving.

Automotive Imaging Sensors Market Driver:

• Automotive image sensors market growth has been aided by rising concerns regarding road safety, government regulations, and advancements in image sensing technologies.

One of the key factors propelling the expansion of the market for automotive image sensor technologies is the rise in demand for active safety systems among consumers throughout the world. The market's expansion is accelerated by the surge in efforts pertaining to vehicle safety features in commercially established nations and the spike in customer demand for guidance devices. The market is further influenced by the increased adoption of light-duty automobiles and the growing integration of camera-based convenience features in expensive cars. Additionally, the market for automotive image sensor technology benefits from financial resilience, the presence of strict passenger safety protocols, and the rising adoption of digital equipment. Furthermore, the rising number of road accidents and incidents has promoted the growth of advanced safety systems in automotive, including automotive image sensors. According to reports from the US Department of Transportation, there were about 38,824 fatal road accidents, an increase of 6.8% from the previous year, in 2020 in the United States. As such, rising road accidents and strict regulations by the government to prevent them, have served a favorable impact on the automotive image sensors market.

Automotive Imaging Sensors Market Key Developments:

• In January 2023, ams OSRAM, a world leader in optical solutions, and Quadric, an innovator in machine learning processor IP for on-device AI, announced a strategic partnership to develop integrated sensing modules combining OSRAM's cutting-edge Mira Family of CMOS sensors for visible and infrared light with Quadric's novel ChimeraTM GPNPU processors. The combination of ultra-low power modules has enabled the possibility of new approaches in smart sensing for wearable technology, robotics, industrial, automotive, and security applications. The solution makes it possible for numerous applications to use new low-power, tiny form factor smart sensing capabilities. The modules have cutting-edge smart vision capabilities that can be integrated into a single sensor and processor module for a variety of novel product form factors in the automotive, consumer, industrial, and applications sectors.
• The Smart Camera 6 was unveiled in January 2023 by automotive supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG as its new camera generation. The business emphasizes the technology utilized in those systems as a key building element in order to develop autonomous driving and safety systems. The Image Processing Module (IPM), a modular and adaptable control unit dedicated to processing camera and other sensor data, of the latest camera generation, also combines numerous sensor data for useful insights. These cameras can be used for the implementation of cutting-edge ADAS and autonomous driving (AD) systems as they offer crucial details to distinguish between lanes, traffic lights, traffic signs, and several other items on or near the road.

Automotive Imaging Sensors Market Geographical Outlook:

• Europe makes up a substantial percentage of the market for automotive image sensors. While the Asia Pacific region also maintains comparable market shares in this sector.

The European region holds a significant market share of the automotive image sensors market owing to multiple reasons, including rising light auto consumption, expanding urbanization rate, socioeconomic steadiness, significant involvement of automakers, rising user preference for GPS devices, and increasing smart device prevalence. Additionally, the rising demand for automobiles with advanced systems including not just camera sensors, but other features including advanced infotainment systems, advanced air filters etc. has also helped fuel the growth of the market in Europe. For instance, according to their annual reports, Kia sold almost 118K units while Renault sold 203K units in 2021.

Furthermore, several government policies and rules initiated for the safety of passengers have also boosted the market for automotive image sensors in Europe. For instance, according to Directive 2007/38/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, every vehicle should be retrofitted with a mirror. And according to Article 3 of the directive, vehicles, that cannot be equipped with mirrors complying with the requirements set out, must be equipped with supplementary mirrors and/or other devices of indirect vision, provided that the combination of such devices covers not less than 95 % of the field of vision at ground level not less than 85 % of the field of vision at ground level Meanwhile, due to increased concerns about vehicle safety in the region, the entry of deluxe automotive manufacturers, and the presence of several important automakers in the region's nations, the Asia Pacific region for automotive image sensor market is also anticipated to grow significantly.

• A significant percentage of the automotive image sensors market, in terms of technology, is expected to be accounted for by ADAS technology.

Depending on the elements that have been incorporated into the car, ADAS (Advanced driver assistance systems) technology can support varying degrees of autonomous driving. ADAS technology is designed to automate, adapt, and improve vehicle technology for safety and better driving as human error is the primary cause of car crashes. Image sensors in the camera modules of ADAS technology are used to convert images from cameras into electronic signals for processing. They can considerably increase vehicle safety by ensuring that drivers maintain a safe distance and refrain from speeding by integrating vital driving aids like intelligent cruise control and intelligent speed assistance (ISA).
