Pedestrian Detection System Market Report 2026

The pedestrian detection system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.77 billion in 2025 to $11.32 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban accident rates, pedestrian safety regulations, adas feature adoption, camera and sensor advancements, government safety ratings.

The pedestrian detection system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to mandatory safety system regulations, autonomous vehicle development, smart city integration, declining sensor costs, growth of electric passenger vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of vision based detection systems, rising integration with automatic emergency braking, expansion of sensor fusion technologies, increasing deployment in urban vehicles, higher focus on vulnerable road user safety.

The rising number of road fatalities is expected to drive the growth of the pedestrian detection system market. Road fatalities refer to deaths resulting directly from injuries sustained in traffic accidents or road-related incidents. The increase in such fatalities is linked to factors including higher vehicle speeds, distracted driving caused by mobile phone use, and inadequate road safety measures. In addition, rapid urbanization and the growing number of vehicles on roads contribute to a higher frequency and severity of traffic accidents. Pedestrian detection systems utilize artificial intelligence, sensors, and cameras embedded in vehicles and road infrastructure to detect pedestrians and help prevent accidents, thereby reducing fatalities. For example, in November 2025, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US-based government agency, estimated injuries from traffic crashes reached 2,442,581 in 2023, representing a 2.5% increase compared to 2.38 million injuries in 2022. Therefore, the increasing number of road fatalities is supporting the growth of the pedestrian detection system market.

Major companies operating in the pedestrian detection system market are concentrating on integrating artificial intelligence into proactive safety solutions, such as AI-enabled object detection, to improve safety outcomes, reduce accident rates, and deliver real-time insights for improved decision-making. AI-powered object detection systems identify pedestrians and material handling equipment (MHE), providing visual and audio alerts to warn of potential hazards. For instance, in December 2023, Powerfleet Inc., a US-based technology company, introduced an advanced pedestrian proximity detection solution that leverages AI technology to enhance safety in warehouse and manufacturing environments. The system incorporates three vehicle-mounted cameras and real-time analytics. This solution addresses the increasing need for effective safety measures in settings facing rising labor demands and safety challenges.

In June 2023, Magna International, a Canada-based mobility and automotive components supplier offering advanced driver-assistance systems, vehicle electronics, and comprehensive active safety solutions, acquired Veoneer Active Safety from SSW Partners for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Magna sought to expand its active safety portfolio by incorporating Veoneer’s expertise in sensors, software, and system engineering, strengthening its capability to deliver end-to-end ADAS and pedestrian detection systems at scale. Veoneer Active Safety is a US-based company that provides automotive sensors, software modules, and complete active safety systems, including camera-, radar-, and lidar/vision-based detection solutions used for pedestrian detection, collision avoidance, and other ADAS applications.
