MOTOR VEHICLE SENSORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global motor vehicle sensors market size is predicted to reach USD 57.3 billion by 2033 from USD 31.7 billion in 2024, registering a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.

The past few years have seen a noticeable acceleration of consumer demand for electric automobiles due to strict government regulations regarding dangerous gas emissions into the environment. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in motor vehicle sensors market growth due to public awareness of safety and security. For example, global technical regulations for enhanced vehicle safety have been released by the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. These regulations cover electronic braking systems and technical specifications for on-road vehicle OBD.

In response to the increasing environmental issues associated with traditionally powered automobiles, there is a significant growth in demand for electric and hybrid cars (EVs). Automotive sensors are becoming more and more necessary as a result of consumers' growing preference for zero-emission transportation and the automotive industry's growing carbon footprint.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disruptions in Sales of Electric Vehicles to Deplete Market Share 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The global COVID-19 outbreak had a detrimental effect on the industry since it severely disrupted supply chains and forced strict lockdown measures to stop manufacturing of automobiles. Moreover, the disruptions in sales of electric vehicles during the pandemic presented significant delays for manufacturers of automotive sensors.

LATEST TRENDS

Sharp Increase in the Need for IMU Detectors to Stimulate Market Development

Moreover, a sharp increase in the need for IMU detectors within MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) may eventually support several prospects for market growth. The most intricate MEMS component found inside an automobile is the IMU sensor.

ASIC also known as application-specific integrated circuit during processing signals is combined with multiple gyroscope and accelerometer sensing elements to create an inertial sensor capable of quantify up to 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) and facilitate lateral, longitudinal, and vertical acceleration for linear actions of the vehicle. This type of IMU is known as a system-in-package (SiP).

MOTOR VEHICLE SENSORS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into pressure sensor, temperature sensor, speed sensor, position sensor, O2 sensor, other.

  • Pressure Sensor: A gadget that detects and quantifies pressure is called a pressure sensor. Here, the force applied over a surface is referred to as the pressure. Predictive maintenance and other more advanced maintenance techniques are made possible by pressure sensors. These gadgets gather data on equipment conditions in real time.
  • Temperature Sensor: A tool for measuring temperature is a temperature sensor. The operating temperature of solid stuff, liquids, or the air can all be considered here. There are various kinds of temperature sensors available, and they all monitor temperature using various technologies and concepts.
  • Speed Sensor: One kind of position sensor that is used to gauge rotational speed is the speed sensor. They can be found in a variety of commercial and race cars.
  • Position Sensor: A sensor that determines the location of an object is called a position sensor. A position sensor can report an object's location in absolute terms or its position in relation to another (displacement) as a function of rotational angle, linear movement, or three-dimensional space.
  • O2 Sensor: The amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust is determined by the O2 sensor. It works in tandem with the electronic control unit (also known as ECU) in your car to determine the ideal air-to-fuel ratio for optimal engine performance.
  • Other: this category comprises of gas sensors. The gas sensor has shown the quickest growth over the projection period because to the rising focus of governments across different areas on improving vehicle fuel efficiency and controlling pollution. For example, the European Commission declared that automakers would face stiff penalties if their next generation of vehicles didn't increase fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, gas sensors are primarily employed to monitor the discharge of hazardous gases into the atmosphere.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into passenger car, light commercial vehicle (LCV), heavy commercial vehicle (HCV).

  • Passenger Car: A multitrack vehicle with a minimum of two axles, a driver, and typically four wheels is called a passenger automobile. Its main purpose is to transport passengers. The majority of passenger cars are utilized for public transportation on public roads.
  • Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV): Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) have a GVW ranging from 3.5 to 7 tons. Heavy commercial vehicles, or HCVs, have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) between 19 and 55 tons. These trucks are designed to transport large loads throughout the nation.
  • Heavy commercial vehicle (HCV): Any commercial vehicle having an overall gross vehicle weight also known as DGVW greater than 3,500 kg is classified into the category of heavy commercial vehicle (HCV).
