The global automotive sensors market is growing at a significant CAGR of around 11.2% during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the favorable government support for increasing passenger safety and security. Further, the increasing development in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) technology tend to create demand for automotive sensors, which in turn, will drive the growth of the global market. For instance, in August 2020, Automotive technology company Veoneer, Inc. and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. decided to collaborate on the delivery of scalable ADAS, Collaborative and Autonomous Driving (AD) solutions powered by Veoneer’s next-generation perception and driving policy software stack and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride ADAS/AD scalable portfolio of System on a Chip (SoC), and Accelerators.
Moreover, in January 2021, Magna announced to collaborate with Fisker to develop an ADAS, which will be applied to the Fisker Ocean SUV that is expected to launch in late 2022. Magna and Fisker will work together to develop unique ADAS features, and a suite of software packages powered by a scalable domain controller architecture. In addition to leveraging cameras and ultrasonic sensors, the ADAS package includes a unique and first-to-market digital imaging radar technology. Such developments in the industry will significantly create demand for automotive sensors and hence will drive the market growth.
