• EMEA
• North America
• ROW

North America emerged as the largest market for PAS in 2014. With increased adoption of active safety systems in vehicles, the demand for PAS is expected to grow further in this region. Increasing pressure from governments is expected to result in high penetration of PAS systems in vehicles during the forecast period.

Automatic parking systems and the growth of automotive PAS

With the availability of limited parking space in the urban areas, parking a vehicle in a tiny spaces has become a key concern for vehicle owners. Vehicle equipped with intelligent or advanced or active PAS are integrated with lasers and sensors that are fitted on both sides of the vehicle to measure the space between parked vehicles.

When the system spots the available parking space the driver activates this system with the push of a button on the dashboard. As soon as the system is activated, with the help of sensors, it starts scanning and assessing a suitable gap for parking. Additionally, the sensors installed on the rear bumper measure the distance between vehicles parked in the rear and displays the visual of the space left with the driver while maneuvering. Key finding of this research report indicates, the need for parking assistance will significantly propel the demand for PAS systems in the future.
