Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: Automotive Camera Market

Automotive Camera Market, By Type

The stereo automotive camera market is gaining demand for its vehicle safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control systems (ACC), Forward Collision Warning systems (FCW), and lane assist systems. Stereo camera is an advanced technology that uses two cameras to capture images, calculating the distance between a camera and an object accurately. These components are used for autonomous driving & collision-sensing applications to improve vehicle safety. Moreover, stereo systems consist of low-cost visible light cameras, offer distance information, and cover the entire field of view. The rapid adoption of these systems in various vehicles is compelling the industry growth.

Automotive Camera Market, By Application

U.S. automotive camera market, by ADAS application, 2018 (USD Million)

The adoption of vehicle vision systems is rapidly increasing in Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) to provide lane departure assist, emergency braking, and forward-collision warning to drivers. The automatic braking system typically uses cameras and sensors to detect pedestrians crossing the street and applies breaks automatically if a pedestrian is in danger of being hit. Lane departure warning system uses a camera to detect unintentional vehicle lane shifts and alerts drivers to steer vehicles back to the lane. Additionally, vehicle cameras are integrated with ADAS to aid the automatic switching of vehicles headlights in low light conditions. These components have the ability to capture the surrounding images and identify collision threats and inform drivers, driving the automotive camera market demand.

Automotive Camera Market, By Vehicle Type

The rising passenger vehicle production in the emerging Asian economies, including India and China, due to a rise in the middle-class income is expected to drive the automotive camera market growth. According to World Economic Forum, the number of passenger cars is anticipated to reach 2 billion by the end of 2040. The increasing adoption of safety features in passenger cars, such as auto park assist and lane departure warning, is increasing the adoption of these components. The increasing road fatalities are compelling the demand for advanced safety features in all new cars. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 37,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2017. The in-cockpit camera system will transmit a warning sound if it detects drowsiness in drivers, which will help to reduce the number of road fatalities significantly. Additionally, various governments across the globe are implementing stringent laws regarding passenger safety, which will further add up to the automotive camera market development.

Automotive Camera Market, By Region

Europe automotive camera industry, by country, 2018 (USD Million)

The Europe automotive camera market will grow at over 21% CAGR from 2019 to 2025 owing to the increasing production of passenger & commercial vehicles in the region.

Merger and Acquisition News (Automotive Camera Market)
Update 27th June 2020:

Intel buys Moovit transit app for $900 million to help develop robotaxis.

Chipmaker Intel Corp (INTC.O) has bought Israeli public transit app maker Moovit for about $900 million to help it develop self-driving robotaxis that could take to the streets in early 2022. Moovit will remain independent while its technology and the data it collects from more than 800 million users in 102 countries will be integrated into Intels Israel-based autonomous car unit Mobileye. The price paid was nearly twice the $500 million valuation when Moovit last raised money in 2018. Intel owned about 7% of Moovit through a previous equity investment and paid about $840 million in cash to assume full ownership.

Though Moovit had enough cash to sustain itself for about a year, and when the economic impact of the pandemic became evident, it decided to explore an outright sale to Intel.

""Moovit is an acquisition that will fill very critical gaps that we have going forward, Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua quoted while speaking to Press. The initial goal for Mobileye was to have a small fleet of driverless taxis in countries like Israel, France, and South Korea.

Moovit is popular for helping commuters or tourists find the best way to a destination by showing them bus and train routes, bike paths, and car-pooling options. Once integrated with Mobileye, the app will be a platform to order the robotaxis and the real-time data will ensure the vehicles are deployed in high-demand areas.

Intel forecasts robotaxis will be a $160 billion market by 2030.

The decision to buy now, when much of the world economy is at a standstill due to the coronavirus outbreak, stems from Mobileyes ability to more accurately predict when its technology will be ready. MolbilEye has the target of 2022.

Intel, which has a very orderly plan of how the future should unfold. Moovit has raised $133 million from investors including Intel, BMW iVentures, and Sequoia Capital. In 2018 it raised $50 million in an investment round led by Intel Capital.
