The rising demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the electronic vehicle (EV) sensors market. Electric vehicles are defined as those that are either partially or fully powered by electricity. EV sensors play a critical role in electric vehicles by reading real-time signals and taking necessary actions to manage in-vehicle functions such as ignition timing and speed control. They also help in reducing gasoline costs, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing energy security. For example, in January 2023, a report from the U.S. Department of Energy, a federal agency responsible for nuclear infrastructure and energy policies, indicated that monthly sales of new plug-in electric cars (PEVs), which include all-electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), reached 7.4%, surpassing 7% for the first time since September 2022. Of this total, 1.2% were PHEVs. Therefore, the increasing demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the electronic vehicle (EV) sensors market.

The escalating safety concerns associated with EV operations are expected to fuel the demand for electric vehicle (EV) sensors. Safety issues concerning the secure and risk-free functioning of electric vehicles encompass critical areas such as battery safety, collision avoidance, and overall operational safety protocols. EV sensors play a crucial role in monitoring and optimizing various aspects, including battery performance, motor control, charging, thermal management, safety features, and driver assistance systems. For instance, data from EV FireSafe, an Australia-based research database, revealed higher incident rates in fire and road safety for e-scooters and e-bikes compared to electric vehicles (EVs). These incidents included over 500 battery fires, 138 injuries, and 36 fatalities for e-scooters and e-bikes, whereas electric vehicles experienced 35 battery fires, resulting in eight injuries and four fatalities. Consequently, the escalating safety concerns in EV operations are anticipated to propel the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) sensor market.

Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend driving advancements in the EV sensors market. Key market players are leveraging extensive research and development endeavors to introduce innovative technologies aimed at consolidating their market position. For example, Continental, a Germany-based automotive company, introduced the Current Sensor Module (CSM) and the battery impact detection (BID) system for electrified vehicles in May 2022.
