- Over the medium term, With the increase in the adoption of automotive cameras, manufacturers are focusing on the optimization of the vehicle sensor architecture to achieve significant adoption in the market.
- Camera technology in the automotive industry in Europe was introduced to monitor drivers' attentiveness and may even act as an enabler for automated driving. There has been an increase in the installation of safety and driver assistance systems in light of the regulatory standards of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Safety Assist Protocol program.
- Growing production of vehicles with integrated advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features in the wake of rising awareness toward the comfort and safety of passengers and government regulations mandating safety features are expected to drive demand in the market. Moreover, the rising acceptance of self-driving or automated vehicles further contributes to the enhanced growth of the market.
- Factors such as increasing penetration of safety systems in vehicles and a high degree of competition among vendors for providing value-added services and products that cater to customer needs are likely to contribute to enhanced development in the market.
Europe Automotive Camera Market Trends
Shifting Trends Towards ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Will Fuel the Growth of Passenger Car Segment
- The factor which is likely to fuel the demand for the automotive camera in Europe is the popularity of ADAS-equipped cars in the region. Leading automotive OEMs and camera manufacturers are spending a huge amount on research and development of cameras to make vehicles safer.
- The integration of modern safety and comfort features in vehicles, such as advanced driver assistance systems, vehicle infotainment, and many others, is increasing significantly in the market. Additionally, increased production of automobiles with integrated advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features in response to increased passenger comfort and safety awareness, as well as government legislation mandating safety measures, are expected to drive market demand. Furthermore, the growing acceptance of self-driving or automated vehicles contributes to the market's expansion.
- Rising demand for electric vehicles across the region is likely to create an opportunity for the market in the coming years. Several vehicle manufacturers are introducing new connected vehicle platforms, which are likely to enhance growth during the forecast period.
- For instance, in November 2022, Next.e.GO Mobile SE (e.GO), a producer of urban electric vehicles (EVs), partnered with connected vehicle platform company Sibros to deploy connected mobility solutions into its new vehicles across Germany.
- Furthermore, the high level of competition among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), government measures promoting the use of safety systems in vehicles, and an increase in population disposable income benefit the automotive park assist system market. To capitalize on the growing demand, OEMs are offering park assist features in their high-end variants.
- For instance, in February 2022, BMW launched the i4, an all-electric four-door sports sedan. The i4 comes with the standard feature of a parking assistant program that employs ultrasonic sensors to help the driver select and use parking spaces that are either parallel or perpendicular to the road.
- Sensing cameras are gradually becoming an integral part of an active safety system in vehicles. The growth can be attributed to the increase in safety concerns of the passengers and strict government initiatives. Sensing cameras also provide a higher level of performance than general-purpose driving cameras by maintaining quality standards as cost-effective solutions. This is likely to witness major growth for the market during the forecast period.
- Sensing cameras provide a higher level of performance than general-purpose driving cameras while also meeting the required automotive quality standards as cost-effective solutions. With the increasing adoption of ADAS features in vehicles, the demand for cameras has been increasing.
