Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems, rising integration of multi-mode radar sensors, growing demand for high-frequency radar modules, expansion of radar-based autonomous functions, enhanced focus on object detection accuracy.

The increasing incidence of road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the automotive radar market in the coming years. Road accidents refer to incidents caused by traffic collisions, negligence, or other factors that result in injury or death to individuals involved. Automotive radar is one of several sensor technologies used for collision avoidance, as well as pedestrian and cyclist detection, and works alongside vision-based camera systems to identify vehicles and help reduce accidents. For example, in January 2024, according to Roads Australia, an Australia-based national industry organization focused on improving road networks and transport safety, road fatalities in 2023 reached 1,266 people, representing an increase of approximately 7.3% compared to the previous twelve-month period. Therefore, the rise in road accidents is propelling the growth of the automotive radar market.

Companies operating in the automotive radar market are increasingly emphasizing collaborations, such as strategic partnerships, to strengthen innovation, technology advancement, and system integration for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. Strategic partnerships involve cooperative agreements between organizations that combine complementary resources, technical know-how, and market access to jointly develop and commercialize advanced automotive technologies more effectively and at scale. For instance, in September 2023, Mobileye, an Israel-based autonomous driving technology company, partnered with Valeo, a France-based automotive supplier. Through this collaboration, Mobileye and Valeo aim to deliver high-performance, software-defined imaging radar solutions for next-generation driver assistance and automated driving features. By working together, they seek to accelerate the global adoption of this emerging technology by automakers, supporting the development of smarter and safer vehicles. Imaging radar is expected to play a vital role in automated driving sensor systems, serving as a core component for advanced hands-off ADAS functions and eyes-off automated driving capabilities in both highway and urban environments.

In November 2023, NXP Semiconductors, a Netherlands-based automotive semiconductor company, partnered with Zendar Inc. to advance and speed up the development of high-resolution radar solutions for autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems. Through this partnership, NXP and Zendar plan to integrate Zendar’s Distributed Aperture Radar technology with NXP’s scalable radar platforms to simplify automotive sensing architectures while enhancing performance. This approach offers improved angular resolution, approaching lidar-like capabilities, with reduced system complexity and smaller radar footprints. The collaboration aims to benefit original equipment manufacturers by improving safety, convenience, scalability, and cost efficiency, ultimately contributing to enhanced road safety. Zendar Inc. is a US-based software start-up specializing in high-resolution distributed aperture radar technology for autonomous vehicle applications.
