Europe Automotive Camera Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Application, Type, Vehicle Type, and Level of Autonomy

The automotive camera market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 2,414.23 million in 2022 to US$ 8,439.24 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 23.2% from 2022 to 2028.

The Europe automotive camera market growth is attributable to the rising adoption of advanced cameras in vehicles. The automotive cameras assist the driver in parking, maneuvering, and assessing the vehicle's performance. The camera systems have played a crucial role in a few recent applications, including Lane Departure Warning Systems (LWDS), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS), and Blind Spot Warning (BSW). In light and heavy commercial vehicles, the adoption of automotive cameras is growing in various system solutions, such as rear view camera, surround view camera, e-mirror, and driver monitoring systems (DMS). The cameras can be embedded with advanced computer vision algorithms for real machine vision systems for the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Thus, the increase in applications of cameras in automotive vehicles and the rise in technological advancements fuel the adoption of advanced cameras in cars.

The leading players providing automotive cameras are significantly adopting advanced technologies. For instance, in May 2021, StradVision, a leading company in AI-based vision processing technology for autonomous vehicles and automotive ADAS, introduced the latest features of camera perception software named “SVNet”. It is a deep learning-based perception software that supports ADAS features, including highway driving assist and automated valet parking. In addition, the rear view camera provided by STMicroelectronics for automotive vehicles caters to various applications, such as state-of-the-art HDR image sensors VG6640 and a versatile image signal processor (ISP) that offers excellent flicker-free image quality at HD resolution. It also provides its product offerings for Driver Monitoring System (DMS) applications, through its HDR Europe Shutter sensor (1.6 Mpixel and 2.3 Mpixel), along with a multichannel voltage regulator and automotive-led drivers, MEMS sensors, ensuring greater flexibility for high-end computer vision applications in critical weather conditions and environments. Thus, the rising adoption of advanced cameras bolsters the automotive camera market growth.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe automotive camera market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
