As these technologies continue to advance, they hold the potential to transform the way we commute and interact with transportation systems, ushering in a new era of mobility and safety. The market forecast report also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD Million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018 - 2022 for the following segments.
The market share growth by the ADAS segment will be significant during the forecast period. The adoption of advanced telematics like ADAS is increasing across all segments of vehicles in the automotive market. The adoption of automotive systems such as adaptive front lights, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning systems is expected to increase the growth of the global automotive market, owing to its safety and demand for advanced electronic systems in modern vehicles.
The ADAS segment shows a gradual increase in the market share of USD 116.80 million in 2018. ADAS is primarily targeted to reduce fatigue during long drives, as well as for automating repetitive tasks. These are all positive influences on reducing driver boredom and tiredness, which are sure-shot recipes for potential mistakes and accidents. Hence, having ADAS is indeed an added incentive for long rides. Additionally, in developed regions, the adoption of ADAS technology is expected to be high among elderly customers for whom assisted driving is a far more acceptable solution rather than losing the ability to drive completely due to ageing issues.
North America is estimated to contribute 31% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
North American countries such as the US and Mexico are the major automotive light detection and ranging sensors market contributors to the market in the region owing to the high popularity of LiDAR sensors in automotive. The automotive market in North America is dominated by utility vehicles such as pickup trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. Furthermore, the popularity of recreational vehicles is high in countries such as the US and Mexico because they can be used both for personal as well as commercial use. In addition, the presence of diverse terrains, such as mountains and rocky surfaces, results in high sales of such vehicles.

The key role of LiDAR sensors in ADAS is likely to drive market growth. ADAS has become a reliable and robust system with increasing features, but it's currently only available in premium vehicles due to its high cost. However, the expansion of ADAS ecology and technological advancements will likely introduce it into the mainstream market.
Additionally, integrated ADAS SoCs can integrate multiple sensor data streams, process a huge amount of real-time data, and increase flexibility and control over ADAS offerings. LiDAR technology offers better capabilities for object detection, even in complete darkness, and the continuous need for better sensors in the automotive industry has boosted the growth of the market. These developments are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Companies are experimenting with various designs to develop next-gen LiDAR sensors which is a major trend in the market. While their success is uncertain, a significant price decline in automotive LiDAR sensors is expected. Examples from history show that the cost of hardware can decline with increased volumes and adoption. Various LiDAR sensor companies, including those sponsored by DARPA, are working on developing low-cost sensors.
Furthermore, MIT researchers claim that their chips could bring production costs down to USD 10 each with millions of sensors produced annually. With similar innovations, the cost of high-quality LiDAR sensors is expected to drop to around USD 1,000 by 2022-2024 and down to USD 100 in a decade. Venture capitalists are showing interest in companies developing cheaper LiDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles. The decline in cost is expected to propel market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost presents a challenge for their commercial adoption in the industry. However, Ouster plans to offer its ES2 sensor for mass production in 2024 at an initial cost of USD 600, which is expected to reduce to USD 100 in subsequent years. Similarly, Luminar has partnered with Volvo to provide LiDAR-equipped cars by 2022.
Additionally, despite these efforts, the current low volumes of LiDAR sensors have compounded cost pressures faced by OEMs, who already face challenges such as stringent emission norms, market competition, and evolving customer demands. However, data-based evidence suggests that the cost of LiDAR sensors will likely decrease due to mass production
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the Automotive Lidar Sensors Market. One of the major companies in the market include:
