Priority to automotive safety among customers is one of the key factors driving the global automotive camera market growth. Road transportation is one of the prominent modes of transportation in most countries. Since the last decade, the automotive industry has been actively working on improving road safety by preventing accidents and reducing injuries. Most safety measures are focused on drivers, as human errors are the prime cause of accidents. Several technical measures, especially active safety systems, work effectively in preventing accidents by warning drivers to take precautions before accidents occur. Most accidents occur due to human error caused by drowsiness, lack of concentration or driver distraction, and fatigue.
Factors such as changes in lifestyle and driving for long hours are leading to sleep disorders and increasing driver fatigue, stress, and drowsiness during driving. Hence, automobile safety is evolving as an important feature for end-users, which is leading them to install advanced safety systems in their vehicles. Continuous developments from automotive camera manufacturers to offer customized products have allowed customers to adopt automotive cameras in their personal vehicles, which is expected to drive the growth of the global automotive camera market during the forecast period.
Significant Market Trends
The increased use of wide-angle camera technology will fuel the global automotive camera market growth. Road accidents and traffic congestion have increased immensely in the past few years due to the increase in the number of passenger cars, trucks, and buses across all regions. The safety of both passenger cars and commercial vehicles is an ever-growing concern for governments and automobile manufacturers. This, in turn, has led to the introduction of several safety measures and initiatives by organizations to ensure the safety and security of passengers and pedestrians. The development of camera systems for the automotive market is rapidly gaining importance, primarily driven by the growing safety concerns for both passengers and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians.
Moreover, the use of wide-angle lenses in automotive camera modules is gaining importance due to their wide field coverage and enhanced picture quality. Automotive OEMs are exploring safety solutions that detect the driver's blind spots on the road and hence, are using wide-angle technology to expand the coverage field of cameras. OEMs and camera module manufacturers are actively investing in improving the output from wide-angle cameras, which is expected to drive the growth of the global automotive camera market during the forecast period.
Major Market Challenge
The high replacement costs associated with camera modules are the major challenge to the global automotive camera market growth. Automotive cameras play a crucial role in eliminating blind spots. They are a critical safety feature in automobiles as they provide the driver with a more precise and safer driving experience. Earlier, camera systems were mostly offered as an optional feature in premium and luxury vehicle segments; however, now, these are increasingly being used even in entry-level vehicles in developed countries due to regulatory standards and convenience.
However, automotive camera modules have not been able to penetrate the entry-level and lower variants of mid-segment cars, especially in emerging economies, as they add to the price of the vehicle. However, camera manufacturers are trying to bring down the cost of manufacturing automotive camera systems, which will increase their adoption in lower variants of mid-trim and entry-segment vehicles. High-end camera systems include several features, such as large screen monitors, GPS navigation, multiple cameras, better image resolution, and night vision cameras. As a result, price-conscious consumers, especially in developing countries may be reluctant to install automotive cameras in their vehicles due to the high cost, which is expected to negatively affect the growth of the global automotive camera market during the forecast period.
