Autonomous cars to drive new vertical for camera market

Northbrook, Il

The newly published report on the automotive camera market to 2026, includes uses such as ADAS and Park Assist; types of cameras including mono, surround & rear view; varying camera technologies including thermal, infrared & digital); as well as levels of autonomy and vehicle type. Researchers Marketsandmarkets project that the global automotive camera market will reach USD 11.3 billion by 2026 from USD 6.8 billion in 2021, at a healthy CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period.

The automotive camera market is currently dominated by globally established players such as Continental, Robert Bosch, Valeo, Aptiv, and Magna, but it will be interesting to see how that market develops over the coming years as the autonomous vehicle market becomes a reality.

"The rising demand for semiautonomous and autonomous driving, focus on advanced safety systems, increasing adoption of driving assistance features, and increasing consumer disposable income will fuel the demand for automotive cameras", states the report. Moreover, Marketsandmarkets analysts suggest that increasing adoption of ADAS & safety features, focus on vehicle safety, government safety regulations, and focus on reducing accidents are going to play a pivotal role in the adoption of automotive cameras in the future.

The park assist segment is strongest

In terms of application, it is the park assist segment that is estimated to be the largest area in the automotive camera market. The government mandates and increasing penetration of camera-based features are some of the major factors driving this segment. Currently, park assist features are most commonly used in vehicles. The majority of vehicles are equipped with the digital rear view camera that assists the driver while parking a vehicle. Moreover, the US and Canadian governments have mandated the rear view camera because of its safety benefits. Canada has made rear view camera systems mandatory in new cars since May 2018.

Passenger cars see highest demand

The passenger car segment makes a major contribution to the automotive camera market. The increased demand for safety systems in emerging markets can be attributed to improving road safety standards, supporting legislation, and consumer awareness. Additionally, several countries in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific have introduced regulations that mandate the incorporation of various types of ADAS in the passenger car segment. The standard of living is also improving in several countries, which results in increased demand for luxury vehicles. ADAS and park assist are installed widely in luxury vehicles as a standard package than in mid and lower segment vehicles, where they are offered as optional or not available in specific variants. Hence, provide opportunities for the growth of the automotive camera market in passenger car.

Asia Pacific strongest geographical

Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market share by 2026, followed by Europe and North America. Increasing demand for a safe, efficient, and convenient driving experience; rising disposable income in emerging economies; and stringent safety regulations across the globe are the drivers of the automotive camera market in Asia Pacific. Low automobile market penetration and increased vehicle production in this region offer attractive market opportunities to automobile manufacturers and tier-1 suppliers. With an increase in the production of vehicles, the demand for driver assist features is expected to increase. This, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the automotive camera market in the region. Further, steady growth in the demand for semiautonomous vehicles in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific has also created an opportunity for the growth of the automotive camera market.
