Driver Monitoring Systems Market Report 2025

The driver monitoring systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2024 to $1.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing vehicle safety regulations, rising concerns about road safety, innovations in AI and machine learning, integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive industry evolution, corporate initiatives for fleet safety.

The driver monitoring systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to insurance industry collaboration, liability mitigation for oems, rise in demand for in-cabin monitoring, personalized safety features, expansion in automotive fleet management. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered predictive analysis, privacy-focused design, in-car camera systems, health monitoring capabilities, real-time driver feedback and alerts, biometric authentication integration.

The primary driving force behind the growth of the driver monitoring systems (DMS) market is the heightened awareness of road safety, prompted by an increase in on-road accidents attributed to driver fatigue and distraction. According to a 2022 publication by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.3 million people lose their lives annually due to road traffic crashes. Vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, constitute over 50% of all road traffic fatalities. Low- and middle-income nations bear the brunt, accounting for approximately 93% of global road fatalities. The economic impact of road traffic accidents is significant, costing most nations around 3% of their gross domestic product. The importance of Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) is increasing due to the growing necessity to comprehend and adapt to driving conditions, coupled with the imperative to reduce accidents. The prevalence of road accidents arising from factors such as fatigue, distraction, lack of alertness, and instances of drinking and driving contribute to substantial growth in the driver monitoring systems market.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the driver monitoring systems market. Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles propelled by electric motors drawing power from external batteries. Driver monitoring systems in electric vehicles enhance safety by monitoring driver attentiveness and facilitating a seamless transition between manual and autonomous driving modes. For instance, in April 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that electric car sales constituted 14% of all new global car sales in 2022, a significant increase from 9% in 2021. Projections for 2023 indicate a continued upward trend, with over 2.3 million electric cars sold in the first quarter alone, marking a 25% increase from the same period last year. It is estimated that by the end of 2023, 14 million electric cars will be sold, reflecting a 35% year-on-year increase, with accelerated purchases expected in the latter half of the year. Thus, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is a driving force behind the expansion of the driver monitoring systems market.

The high cost associated with certain systems, including adaptive cruise control (ACC), night vision, lane departure warning system (LDWS), and blind-spot detection (BSD), limits their adoption primarily to luxury cars, hindering the growth of the driver monitoring systems market. Commercial systems are notably expensive, with eye-tracking systems costing between $5000 and $40,000. This elevated cost ultimately increases the overall price of vehicles, diminishing the appeal for car owners to adopt such systems. Additionally, complex installation procedures for driver monitoring systems constitute a significant factor expected to impede the growth of the global driver monitoring system market throughout the forecast period.

The global driver monitoring systems market is witnessing several technological advancements that are poised to drive market growth in the forecast period. A notable trend is the development of advanced detection technologies for drivers by prominent OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MROs (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul). Panasonic Corporation, for instance, has introduced a drowsiness-control technology designed to detect and predict the level of drowsiness in individuals, enabling them to stay comfortably awake while driving. Similarly, Mercedes-Benz has innovated an attention-assistance device capable of detecting early signs of driver drowsiness and prompting them to stop before it becomes a serious concern. Attention Assist continuously monitors driver actions, creating an individual driver profile at the beginning of each trip, which is then continuously compared with real-time sensor data.

Major players in the driver monitoring systems market are intensifying their focus on introducing artificial intelligence (AI) safety solutions, such as the DMS metric, to optimize revenue in the market. The DMS metric is specifically designed to monitor and analyze a driver's behavior and attentiveness while operating a vehicle. For instance, in June 2023, Smart Eye AB, a Sweden-based system software company, launched a new DMS metric aimed at enhancing road safety and driver health. This innovative feature remotely monitors the driver's heart and respiration rates by analyzing multiple physiological signals. Smart Eye's DMS technology integrates in-car cameras, computer vision, and artificial intelligence to offer insights into the driver's state and behavior. Modern cars with DMS technology leverage AI-powered multimodal software to deliver intelligent safety features that detect and respond to the driver's behavior and state.

In September 2022, HARMAN International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. based in the United States and specializing in connected technologies for automotive, consumer, and enterprise markets, completed the acquisition of CAARESYS for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move enables HARMAN to gain access to CAARESYS's in-cabin radar sensor technology, incorporating its unique characteristics that facilitate the seamless integration of radar into its product offerings. CAARESYS, headquartered in Israel, is recognized for its expertise in developing vehicle passenger monitoring technology.

A driver monitoring system is a safety technology that utilizes various tools to assess a driver's attentiveness and focus while operating a vehicle. By reducing distractions and enhancing concentration on the road, this technology aims to enhance overall road safety.

Driver monitoring systems encompass several types such as driver alertness/distraction monitoring, driver fatigue monitoring, drunk driving monitoring, and identity recognition. Specifically, the driver fatigue monitoring system accurately detects and predicts instances of drowsiness or fatigue in a driver, issuing alerts to prompt necessary actions such as pulling over for safety - a measure vital for the driver's well-being and the safety of others on the road. These systems are applicable in both passenger and commercial vehicles, utilizing components such as interior cameras, sensors, and various other integrated elements.
