Passenger Car Sensors Market Report 2024

The passenger car sensors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.1 billion in 2023 to $5.41 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. Growth during the historic period was driven by increased investments in research and development, urbanization, rising consumer expectations, the emergence of wireless sensor networks, the introduction of automatic emergency braking systems, and the adoption of traffic sign recognition systems.

The passenger car sensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. Growth anticipated in the forecast period is attributed to advancements in sensors enhancing sustainability, the development of high-resolution imaging sensors, sensors for monitoring external conditions, the implementation of new regulatory measures, and sensors providing real-time traffic data. Key trends in this period include the integration of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things with sensors, advancements in microelectromechanical systems, enhancements in electromagnetic sensors, the integration of 5G technology, and the advancement of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology.

The increasing adoption of autonomous passenger cars is anticipated to drive the growth of the passenger car sensors market in the future. These autonomous vehicles are designed for personal use and can navigate and operate without human intervention through advanced technologies. They utilize advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to detect and respond to potential hazards, thereby significantly reducing the risk of accidents caused by human error. Passenger car sensors, such as LiDAR, radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, GPS, IMU, and V2X communication, allow autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings, navigate accurately, and make real-time decisions for safe and efficient operation. For example, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a US-based non-profit organization, it is projected that by 2025, there will be 3.5 million self-driving vehicles on U.S. roads, increasing to 4.5 million by 2030. Consequently, the growing adoption of autonomous passenger cars is driving the growth of the passenger car sensors market.

Leading companies in the passenger car sensors market are developing nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations, enhance engine efficiency, and improve overall vehicle performance. NOx sensors are vital for monitoring and controlling NOx emissions in real-time, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and reducing harmful pollutants. For instance, in December 2023, Delphi Technologies, a UK-based automotive company, introduced a range of NOx sensors for the European aftermarket. These sensors measure the amount of NOx in exhaust gases and help vehicles comply with current and future emission regulations. The sensors are compatible with popular passenger car brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Opel, Skoda, BMW, Renault, and Volkswagen, as well as commercial vehicles from brands such as DAF, MAN, and Scania.

In September 2022, Harman International, a US-based manufacturer of computers and electronics, acquired Caaresys for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition was aimed at enriching Harman's automotive product line with cutting-edge in-cabin radar sensing technology. This technology enables features such as vital signs monitoring, passenger localization, and child presence detection, thereby enhancing vehicle safety and comfort. Caaresys, headquartered in Israel, specializes in developing in-cabin safety solutions utilizing contactless, low-emission radar technology for monitoring vehicle passengers.
