Automotive Radar Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis, and Forecast (2025 – 2031)

Automotive Radar Market Size

The global automotive radarmarket size was valued at $8.51 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $39.23 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 29.0% during the forecast period.

Automotive Radar Market Overview

Automotive radar technology is a crucial component in enhancing vehicle safety and enabling advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which are increasingly vital for modern vehicles. These radar systems utilize millimeter-wave technology to detect objects, measure distances, and monitor speeds, significantly improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of accidents.

Companies like Infineon Technologies and Continental Automotive are at the forefront of this innovation, offering a range of radar sensors that support features such as blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. For instance, Infineon’s RASIC™ radar sensors can detect objects up to 250 meters away, providing critical data for collision avoidance systems.

Additionally, government initiatives, such as the U.S. CHIPS Act, aim to bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing, which includes radar technologies, thereby fostering innovation and supporting the automotive industry's shift towards more autonomous and safer vehicles.

Automotive Radar Market Dynamics

The automotive radarmarket is expected to witness significant growth in the future due to the increasing demand for advanced driver assistance systems, growing consumer awareness and preference for vehicle safety technologies, and stringent government regulations mandating safety features in vehicles. However, the high costs, limited awareness, and supply chain disruptions affecting the availability of components and materials are restraining the growth of the market.

Furthermore, expansion of the autonomous vehicle market, requiring sophisticated radar systems for navigation and safety, increasing investments in research and development of next-generation radar technologies, and growing trend towards electric vehicles, which often incorporate advanced safety features are the key trends propelling the automotive radarmarket.

Increasing Demand for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is Driving the Automotive Radar Market

The increasing demand for advanced driver assistance systems is significantly impacting the automotive radarmarket, driven by increasing focus on vehicle safety and the rising sales of passenger vehicles, growth and innovation.

• For instance, in 2021, ADAS features were installed in about 1 billion cars in use across the world.

Companies like Tesla are leveraging automotive radar to enhance their ADAS capabilities.

• In 2023, Tesla launched its latest Model Y with an updated radar system, enabling improved object detection and collision avoidance.

Government initiatives are also driving the adoption of ADAS technologies.

• In 2022, the European Union introduced regulations requiring all new vehicles to be equipped with advanced safety features, including autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping assist systems. This regulation is expected to boost the demand for automotive radar sensors, as they are essential components in these ADAS applications.

Furthermore, the growing popularity of autonomous vehicles is fueling the need for sophisticated radar systems. It is estimated that autonomous vehicles will account for approximately 12% of total car registrations by 2030 globally.

By Range, the Medium-Range Radar Segment is projected to be the Largest Segment in the Automotive Radar Market

Medium-range radar is the largest segment in the automotive radarmarket, driven by rising demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This segment currently accounts for approximately 60% of the global automotive radar market, reflecting the increasing integration of multiple radar systems in vehicles to enhance safety features.

• For example, in 2023, the global automotive radar market was valued at around $5 billion and is anticipated to reach $12 billion by 2033, driven largely by the adoption of medium-range radar technologies that support functions such as park assistance, lane change assistance, and blind spot detection.
• Companies like Continental are at the forefront of this growth; in 2021, they unveiled their sixth generation of long-range and surround radar at Auto Shanghai, designed to reduce complexity and costs while enhancing vehicle safety features.

Additionally, government regulations are pushing for the implementation of ADAS technologies, with many countries mandating features like automatic emergency braking and collision avoidance systems.

• For instance European Union, has introduced regulations that require new vehicles to be equipped with such safety technologies, further propelling the demand for medium-range radar systems.

By Geography, Asia PacificHolds the Largest Share in the Market Revenue

Asia Pacific holds the largest share of the automotive radarmarket, driven by several key factors. The region is home to major automotive manufacturing hubs, particularly in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea, where vehicle production reached approximately 46 million units in 2021. This high production volume is driving the need for advanced safety features, including radar systems, which are essential for implementing advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

• For instance, in 2023, Volvo announced the introduction of its new interior radar feature in the EX90 all-electric SUV, designed to enhance safety and detection capabilities.

Furthermore, government initiatives in countries like China and India are promoting the adoption of safety technologies in vehicles, with regulations mandating features such as automatic emergency braking and collision avoidance systems.

• In 2022, the Chinese government implemented policies to support the development of smart vehicles, further boosting the automotive radar market.

Additionally, the increasing awareness of road safety, coupled with a rise in vehicle accidents, is prompting consumers to seek vehicles equipped with advanced safety technologies.
