Automotive Occupant Sensing System Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Cameras, Strain Gauges, Pressure Mats, Ultrasonic Sensors), By Market Type (OEM, Aftermarket), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive occupant sensing system is a technologically advanced system that senses the presence of occupants in the vehicles. These system decides the amount of airbags to be inflated or deflated in case of an accident. Protection of occupants in the vehicles is the prime significant factor for the automotive manufacturers as well as the consumers. The stringent government norms and rapid growth in the safety concerns among people are few of the many factors for the increasing demand for automotive occupant sensing system in the global market. Earlier, the automotive occupant sensing systems were only installed in premium and high performance vehicles, but nowadays, the automobile manufacturers have started integrating these systems in entry level and mid-sized cars as well which is propelling the demand for this product in the market. Additionally, the governing bodies are taking initiatives to promote the driver and passenger safety systems in order to reduce and eliminate the damages caused during an accident. The increasing number of road fatalities is forcing people to integrate advanced safety systems in vehicles. Also, the regulatory authorities of several countries have mandated the installation of airbags which is thus fuelling the growth of the automotive occupant sensing system market.

Key Market Driver -

Increasing number of road accidents and rising safety awareness among individuals is expected to drive the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Key Market Restraint -

High cost of installation and replacement may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the automotive occupant sensing system market is segmented by type, by market type, by vehicle type, and by geographic coverage. Based on type, the market is further segmented into cameras, strain gauges, pressure mats, and ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors holds the major share in the global market. Infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors are widely used in occupant sensing systems. Many manufacturers are providing passenger sensing systems based on LiDAR technology, which is expected to provide higher reliability. The market type is further divided into OEM and aftermarket. The OEM segment holds the significant revenue share in the global market. The OEM fitted occupant sensing system are widely used in vehicles as they provide accurate and reliable functioning with greater durability.
