The Global Collision Avoidance Sensor Market size is expected to reach $8.8 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 11.9% CAGR during the forecast period. A collision avoidance sensor refers to a device that is capable of responding in two different ways. The first is to notify a driver about the approaching danger through light, sound, or both, and the second is to notify vehicles with back & front cameras and offering a visual warning of obstructions. The growth of the global collision avoidance sensors is expected to witness bright prospects due to the surge in the focus of consumers and OEMs on safety features of vehicles, government norms, the impact of the New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs), and motivation from the insurance organization by declining the premium for vehicles integrated with collision avoidance sensors.
Some of the major catalysts for the growth of the collision avoidance sensor market are increasing sales of sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and exclusive luxury vehicles. Additionally, the growth of the global market is also fueled by the constant development in the domains of the camera. Conversely, the cyclic nature of automotive sales and production is expected to slow down the growth of the global collision avoidance market in the upcoming years. However, the global collision avoidance sensor market is expected to witness new avenues for growth due to the increasing automotive safety guidelines and installation of advanced driver assistance systems in passenger cars.
