Major growth drivers for India automotive sensors market include increasing focus on passenger, pedestrian and vehicular safety in the country, high disposable income in India, the entry of foreign auto manufacturers increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles and growing government regulations on emission control. The government has mandated a few features, such as Reverse Parking Assist, which are likely to aid market growth. Similarly, rising usage of ADAS systems in both passenger and commercial vehicles is expected to propel the market. Besides, the entrance of electric vehicles will drastically alter the number and deployment of pressure sensors and magnetic sensors in the automobile in the long run, accelerating the India automotive sensors market in the approaching years. Fewer pressure sensors are required in an electrified vehicle, but more magnetic sensors are required to monitor the battery and enable various positioning and detection of moving elements. Automobile sensors for early applications, such as fewer emissions, higher fuel economy, and on-board diagnostics, currently dominate the power system applications of the automotive system. Therefore, such factors are expected to boost the expansion of India automotive sensors market during the period in analysis.

India Automotive Sensors Market – Overview

Automotive sensors, which are present throughout the car, are the essential components of the perception layer. The number of sensors in an automobile directly impacts its intelligence level. There are two types of automotive sensors: environmental monitoring and body perception. Body sensing sensors are used to gather information about the body, such as tire pressure, oil pressure, and vehicle speed. Ultrasonic radar is mostly utilized for backup radar and short-distance obstacle monitoring in automatic parking, while cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and LIDAR (light detection and raging) are widely used in other ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) operations. The arrival of electric vehicles would drastically alter the quantity and distribution of pressure and magnetic sensors within the vehicle, influencing the automotive sensor industry. The Indian government has enacted legislation requiring the installation of certain mandatory automotive sensors, which will encourage increased demand and usage for automotive sensors across all vehicle segments in the Indian automotive market. North India is predicted to account for the lion's share by 2027, owing to rising population and economic levels, which have resulted in greater demand for automobiles. Furthermore, the growing consumer preference for comfort, safety, and elegance will drive the India automotive sensor market.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Emphasis on Safety Solutions

The demand for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is predicted to skyrocket over the projection period, driven mostly by regulatory revisions in safety applications that help safeguard drivers and prevent accidents. Consumer interest is also growing as people become more aware of the possible life-saving and other comfort-related advantages offered by ADAS. The Union Minister for Road and Highway Transport declared in September 2018 that the government is trying to implement a requirement mandating ADAS in all new vehicles (including heavy-duty) by 2022. In 2018, India had 467,044 road accidents, up from 464,910 in 2017. As a result, it is projected that a few more automakers will begin implementing ADAS on their vehicles in the near future, particularly those such as parking assistance, blind spot recognition, lane departure warning, and so on, which will help to reduce the number of accidents. The introduction of these technologies is expected to assist drive the country's automotive sensors market.

Restraints

High Prices and Restrictions During Adverse Weather Conditions

Due to low production numbers, the cost of the sensors used in ADAS could not be reduced to target levels. Furthermore, because most current sensors have a limited signal bandwidth and measurement range, distinguishing between system noise and signals, such as road obstructions, is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, tracking moving objects becomes more challenging in less-than-ideal situations such as rain or blizzards. As a result, the global automotive sensors market's growth is anticipated to hinder during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Automotive Sensors Market

COVID-19 had a detrimental impact on the growth of automotive sensor market. The cessation of manufacturing and end-of-life sector operations harmed the automotive sensors market. The pandemic harmed the industry's overall growth. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and early 2021 prompted countries to impose stringent lockdown measures, complicating automotive sensor import and export activity. As a result, the growth of the India automotive sensors market is hampered. However, following the pandemic, the country's sales volume of passenger automobiles and hybrid electric vehicles grew due to the country's relaxation of COVID-19-related restrictions. As a result, the India automotive sensors market is predicted to overcome all damages caused during the forecast period and to increase at a rapid pace.
