The global reverse parking alert system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.79% to reach US$1,132.467 million by 2027, from US$552.781 million in 2020. The reverse parking alert system adds to the safety of the vehicle and the occupants. The system emits waves behind the vehicle to sense the presence of any objects. If there are any objects present at the back of the vehicle, then the waves, which were emitted by the sensor, bounce back off the obstacles behind the vehicle and are sent to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). There the signal is processed on the basis of the time taken by the wave to return and change in the spectrum of the wave, then the computer determines if an obstacle, is within the permitted proximity or not. If the vehicle is in the proximity of the obstacle then the reverse parking sensor starts to give out alerts to the driver about the situation so that the driver can take action quickly without causing damage to the vehicle and other objects.

Rising disposable income, in tandem with higher vehicle ownership, is boosting the demand for Reverse Parking Alert Systems. Moreover, mounting concerns over vehicle safety are leading to the addition of safety features such as parking sensors, and obstacle detection. Efforts being made by the key players to include this safety feature in entry-level vehicles are further boosting the market’s growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the market players are making investments in research and development activities. For instance, in October 2019, SenRa, which is a provider of Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWANs), working with PAN India, announced its partnership with Bosch, one of the leaders in the proving of global automobile solutions and services, to develop Low-Range (LoRa-based) Internet of Things (IoT) integrated reverse parking sensors to further improve their capabilities and provide faster and more accurate results.

In addition, governments across the world are taking initiatives and formulating policies to promote and encourage the use of these sensors to reduce the number of road accidents. For instance, in January 2019, the Ministry of Transport of India made some necessary amendments to the Motor Vehicle Bill and laid the guidelines which said that from July 1, 2019, it would be compulsory for all vehicles to be fitted with reverse parking alert systems in a bid to increase safety and reduce damage, which is also anticipated to drive the market growth.

The reverse parking alert system market has been segmented based on sensor type, vehicle type, sales channel, and geography. By sensor type, the market has been segmented into ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, and image sensors. By vehicle type, the market has been segmented into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. By the sales channel, the market has been segmented as OEMs and aftermarkets.

Ultrasonic sensors hold a significant market share

There are different types of sensors used in the reverse parking alert system. These include ultrasonic, infrared, and image sensors. All the sensors have their own functionality and benefits. Based on sensor type, the ultrasonic sensor segment is expected to hold a market share, which is attributable to the fact that these sensors are most commonly used for this application.

The Asia Pacific will dominate the reverse parking alert system market

Based on geography, Asia Pacific is expected to hold a major market share owing to increasing automobile production in countries like India and China. Moreover, these countries are hubs for automotive component manufacturing.

Some of the major players mentioned as a part of this report are Valeo, Robert Bosch, and TGS Group, among others.

Key Developments

• January 2020- The industry-leading Full Display Mirror (FDM), a sophisticated rear-vision system that incorporates a custom camera and reflective surface video display to optimise a vehicle's rearward view, may serve as the best example of Gentex's expertise in digital vision. The device gives the driver a clear, panoramic view behind the car by streaming footage from a rear-facing camera to an LCD that is built into a special mirror.

Impact of COVID-19 on Reverse Parking Alert System Market

The industrial industry has been paralysed by the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, and many OEMs and component suppliers are working to resume normal production. Companies in the reverse parking alert market size are actively researching ways to address the problems caused by the terrible pandemic. These businesses are attempting to adapt to the present lockout by implementing a variety of mitigating strategies that can guarantee continuous production and minimal income loss.
