One of the key factors driving the market growth is the growing preference for CVs for freight transportation. There is an increasing preference for road transportation in developing countries such as China and India. Thus, the rapid rise in the use of heavy, medium, and light commercial vehicles is expected to decrease the use of railways in freight transportation. The main reason for the increasing adoption of roadways for the transportation of cargo is the limited number of rail services within the country, exacerbated by factors such as travel bans, which restrict the movement of goods across borders. Additionally, the efficiency and flexibility offered by road transport in terms of systems, logistics, supply chain, and raw material shipments play a significant role in the preference for roadways over railways for freight transportation.
Furthermore, there is an increasing preference by companies to opt for roadways as an option for the transportation of their products due to the lack of sufficient rail freight services. Some of the main types of vehicles that are extensively used for transporting cargo in China include heavy, medium, and light-duty commercial vehicles. Additionally, factors such as the high volume of railway freight, poor last-mile connectivity, and the lack of availability of freight trains are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the continuous advances in automotive steering technology. Several countries are undertaking initiatives to reduce vehicular emissions due to the rise in environmental pollution. The high investment in R&D to enhance engine efficiency and reduce vehicle emission levels is one of the significant measures undertaken by several countries. As a result, several manufacturers are amending their designs and technology to enhance performance and ease compliance with the latest emission norms.
Additionally, there are significant advancements in technology in the market, especially in terms of the design and integration of safety technologies with these systems. Such initiatives are mainly undertaken to enhance the functionality of the overall safety systems in automobiles. These advancements in the technology of electronic systems have allowed automotive manufacturers to enhance the comfort, efficiency, handling, and safety of a vehicle, as it enhances the driving experience for all types of vehicles. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
High development costs of driver-assisted technologies are one of the key challenges hindering the market. There is a significant rise in the cost of advanced systems mainly due to the increase in the price of product development, designing, and maintaining these system technologies. Some of these components include sensors, control modules, and processors, among others.
Additionally, there is an increase in prices of several raw materials which are used to manufacture these systems such as steel, electronic components, and plastics. As a result of these price hikes, it has forced several manufacturers to reconsider before integrating such technologies into commercial vehicles.
