Report Overview

Europe Autonomous Cars Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

Europe Autonomous Cars Market is steadily growing at a CAGR of 28.4% during the forecast period (2022-2028). The rapid expansion of the market is predominantly due to the factors such as improvements in safety and a reduction in traffic congestion. Also, the transition from ownership to mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) propels the market growth across Europe. Moreover, European laws related to corporate/M&A transactions, intellectual property, product liability, and cybersecurity provide a conducive environment for the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market. Furthermore, automobile manufacturers are shifting their preference to making highly safety-enabled cars to prevent accidents and to support the steadily growing security-enabled autonomous cars market. All these factors reinforce the Europe Autonomous Cars Market during the forecast period (2022-2028).

Europe Autonomous Cars - Overview

An autonomous car is a type of vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and operating safely with little or without human involvement. Thus, this car is also known as a driverless car or robotic car. Autonomous cars combine a variety of sensors and software to recognize their surroundings such as thermographic cameras, radar, GPS, Lidar, Sonar, Odometry, and inertial measurement units. In addition, there are some levels of driving automation such as level 0, level 1, level3, level 4, and level 5. If a car has level 0, level 1, or level 2 driver support systems, an active and engaged driver is required. Moreover, if a vehicle has a level 3, level 4, or level 5 automated driving system, the technology takes complete control of the driving without human supervision.

Europe Autonomous Cars Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Supportive Government Initiatives for the Development of Autonomous Cars

The rising prevalent laws acts as a major driving factor for the European Autonomous Car Market. The autonomous car is developing rapidly in Europe owing to its favorable laws governing product liability and corporate/M&A transactions. For instance, in 2017, DGT collaborated with Mobileye to prepare Spain’s regulatory policy and infrastructure ecosystem for autonomous cars. Moreover, in Spain, the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) encourages the operation of all self-driving vehicles up to level 5 on the roads. In addition, major OEMs and technology providers are working on level 4 and level 5 automation as they have received the authorization to test driverless cars on public roads. All these government support, as well as manufacturers’ initiatives, are driving the Europe Autonomous Cars Market.

The Efficient Features of Autonomous Cars are Attracting Consumers

The efficient road traffic management in Europe acts as a major driving factor for the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market. Also, the safer performance of autonomous cars compared to conventional cars aid to fuel the market growth. Moreover, the rising concern of road accidents due to human errors, inappropriate speed, and failure to pay attention is shifting the focus of consumers toward autonomous cars. Furthermore, the integration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in semi-autonomous cars fuels the autonomous cars demand in this region. ADAS features include Traction Control, an anti-lock braking system, night vision, automatic parking, blind-spot monitor, and automatic emergency braking. All these factors attract consumers to automatic and safe driving techniques leading to the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market during the forecast period.

Expanding Research and Innovations on Autonomous Cars

The government of Europe has funded several new projects to carry out research on autonomous cars on highways. The government also allows autonomous cars to operate on public roads without any permits or extra insurance. Moreover, the various automakers are investing in autonomous technology to increase the self-driving cars' innovation process. In addition, OEMs in the region are developing LIDAR technology in the automotive. Moreover, various market players are forming partnerships with various start-ups to develop and launch innovative self-driving vehicles. All these factors reinforce growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market during the forecast period (2022-2028).

Restraints

High Upfront Cost Affect the Manufacturing Processes

High-cost is associated with the manufacturing of autonomous cars. This is because autonomous car manufacturing involves expensive materials such as sensors, cameras, radar, emergency braking, auto-steering, and others. This is making it difficult for most manufacturers to focus on them. In addition, self-driving cars are extremely innovative and technologically advanced, which also makes them cost higher. Moreover, the advanced software, hardware, and technology involved in the creation as well as functioning of autonomous cars are likely to come with a high upfront cost for companies to manufacture. Therefore, these expensive cars are not affordable for some consumers which hinder their demand. All these factors restrain the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Autonomous Cars Market

The sudden outbreak COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market. Governments announced a complete lockdown across Europe. The shutdown of all industries including automotive declines production of new vehicles thereby, hindering the market growth. Also, the closure of transportation and economic crisis decrease the demand for autonomous cars. Presently, the world is getting back on the recovery track gradually with the new restriction and policies along with a significant recovery in product sales across the retail sector. These factors may offer lucrative opportunities in the Europe Autonomous Cars Market to support the economic activities across all industries in the region.

Europe Autonomous Cars Market - By Vehicle Autonomy

Based on the vehicle autonomy, the Europe Autonomous Cars Market is segmented into Semi-Autonomous Car and Fully Autonomous Car. Semi-autonomous car is further classified into level 1, level 2, and level 3. Among these, semi-autonomous Level 3 cars dominate the entire market share owing to their enormous high demand. Also, these level 3 systems enable drivers to take their hands-off the wheel and feet off the pedals. But, only in an emergency, the human must need to take control when the car requests it. However, the fully autonomous car segment is expected to grow faster during the forecast period with such cars’ launch slated for 2023. The fully autonomous car category is subdivided into level 4 and level 5, based on automation level. During the forecast period, level 4 cars are expected to account for the larger market share in terms of volume.

Europe Autonomous Cars Market - By Vehicle Type

Based on vehicle type, the Europe Autonomous Cars Market is segmented into Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) segment holds the largest market share owing to the high growth potential for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) in the country of Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. The country has a well-maintained infrastructure with publicly-available electric vehicle charging station. Moreover, Battery Electric Vehicle (BEVs) is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. This is because the deployment of fully autonomous technology is easier in BEVs as compared to other-fuel-type cars.

Europe Autonomous Cars Market - Regional Analysis

Geographically, the Europe Autonomous Cars Market is segmented into Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe. Germany accounts to hold the largest market share owing to the presence of major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the country, which is launching new models with advanced automation levels. Various OEMs including BMW, Volkswagen AG, and Tesla Inc. are introducing new car models for public purchase as well as for commercial purposes. These cars are equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features. This further boosts the growth of the Europe Autonomous Cars Market during the forecast period (2022-2028).
