Automotive Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The growing demand for cohesive safety systems in automobiles is notably driving the automotive rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) market growth, although factors such as reliability issues leading to doubts over user acceptance may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Market Driver
- The growing demand for cohesive safety systems in automobiles is one of the key drivers supporting the automotive rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) market growth.
- Safety has become a critical factor in vehicles due to regulatory and end-user pressure. Modern vehicles incorporate various safety features, including both passive and active safety systems.
- Advances such as cohesive safety systems have enabled a new level of occupant protection. A cohesive safety system includes the integration of various safety systems that have a common objective or share common components.
- Most of the prominent OEMs are offering cohesive safety systems to increase vehicle safety and provide better occupant protection. Moreover, BSD is the most common safety system with which the RCTA is offered by automotive OEMs.
- The growing demand for efficient safety systems in the automotive market is increasing the demand for cohesive safety systems. Hence, the growing demand for cohesive safety systems is expected to benefit the global automotive RCTA market.
Key Automotive Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Market Trend
- The inclusion of RCTA in the parking package offered by automotive OEMs is one of the key automotive rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) market trends contributing to the market growth.
- The high traffic congestion in urban areas leads to the availability of tight parking spaces. Additionally, reversing vehicles out of such tight parking spaces increases the risk of a collision as the driver's vision is often obscured by large vehicles or other objects in the parking space. Hence, more customers are demanding parking assistance technologies in their vehicles.
- Most modern vehicles currently incorporate basic park assist technologies. For instance, compact segment vehicles incorporate a reverse parking sensor, while reverse cameras are also integrated with vehicles belonging to all segments.
- The trend of offering numerous technologies related to parking will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. For instance, Daimler offers a Parking Package in its Mercedes-Benz models, which includes active parking assist, and reversing cameras. Such technologies are expected to propel the market growth in the near future.
Key Automotive Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Market Challenge
- Reliability issues leading to doubts over user acceptance is one of the factors limiting the automotive rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) market growth.
- The sensors and systems that deliver vehicle automation need to be reliable and not be prone to failure.
- The purpose of any of the automotive safety systems is defeated if the technology is tuned to generate unreliable alerts. Therefore, vendors in the market need to consider such consequences if they must deliver as per the expectations of users.
- In the recent past, RCTA systems have faced a backlash on account of their unreliability. For instance, in 2015, the American Automobile Association (AAA) claimed that RCTA comes with a lot of limitations, and also announced that the RCTA system has a failure rate in detecting motorcycles, bicycles, passing vehicles, and pedestrians.
Additionally, the lack of trained or technical personnel at automotive dealer sites may also pose a problem for first-time users of such technologies. Hence, system reliability is crucial in order to ensure user acceptance of advanced ADAS features, including RCTA systems.
