Forward Collision Warning System for Automotive Market Report 2026

The forward collision warning system for automotive market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $37.42 billion in 2025 to $41.69 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing road accident rates, rising consumer awareness of vehicle safety, early adoption of adas features in premium vehicles, government safety rating programs, advancements in radar and camera technologies.

The forward collision warning system for automotive market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $64.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to mandatory adas regulations, growth of autonomous and semi autonomous vehicles, declining sensor and computing costs, expansion of electric vehicle production, increasing integration with connected vehicle platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of ai based object detection algorithms, increasing use of multi sensor fusion architectures, rising deployment of camera radar hybrid systems, growing focus on real time driver alert optimization, higher adoption of forward collision warning in mid range vehicles.

The rising incidences of road accidents are expected to drive the growth of the forward collision warning system market in the coming years. Road accidents involve collisions between vehicles, pedestrians, or other road users, often resulting in injuries or fatalities, and are a major cause of preventable deaths worldwide. The increase in accidents is driven by reckless driving, where drivers disregard traffic rules, drive aggressively, and take dangerous risks, leading to more collisions and injuries. Forward collision warning systems enhance vehicle safety by detecting potential collisions and alerting drivers in real time, helping to prevent accidents and reduce fatalities. For example, in July 2024, the Department for Transport, a UK-based government organization, reported that in 2023 there were approximately 1,645 road fatalities and 29,643 people killed or seriously injured (KSI) in road accidents. Therefore, the rising incidences of road accidents are fueling the forward collision warning system market.

Key companies in the automotive collision warning systems market are focusing on innovative solutions such as integrated collision warning technologies to improve vehicle safety, lower accident risks, and enhance driver awareness compared with traditional braking or alert systems. These systems use radar, cameras, and sensors to detect imminent obstacles or unsafe conditions, providing early visual and auditory alerts; unlike conventional systems that rely solely on driver response, these technologies anticipate hazards and actively support preventive action. For instance, in August 2023, Volvo Trucks, a Sweden-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, launched new safety systems including the GSR, which features Front Short Range Assist for imminent collision warnings, Intelligent Speed Assist for speed limit alerts, Tire Pressure Monitoring for early pressure warnings, and Door Opening Warning and Auto Hold functionalities. The system continuously monitors road and vehicle conditions, processes real-time sensor data, provides automated alerts, and integrates across Volvo FH, FM, and FMX models, with applications in commercial trucks, heavy-duty transport, and fleet safety management, offering benefits such as reduced collision risk, enhanced driver awareness, and improved overall vehicle safety.

In October 2023, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a computer storage device manufacturer based in China, acquired TE Connectivity Ltd. for an undisclosed sum.
