Growth Drivers

  • Rising integration of ADAS in modern EVs: The rising number of accidents and traffic crashes has resulted in increasing deployment of advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) in modern electric vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2023, more than 40,900 individuals died in motor vehicle crashes. The ADAS not only helps to keep the driver and passenger safe, but also pedestrians and other drivers. These systems rely on different sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and ultrasonic for features such as adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and collision assistance.

Driver Assistance Technologies

Technology

Description / Function

Sensors Used

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Uses sensors to detect slower or stationary vehicles ahead; alerts the driver when a potential crash is imminent via audible, visual, or other signals, so they can brake or steer to avoid it

 

Radar, Camera, LiDAR

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Monitors lane markings and alerts the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane. It’s only a warning system and does not take corrective action

 

Camera

Rear Cross Traffic Warning

Alerts the driver, while reversing, to potential collisions from approaching traffic that may be outside the view of a backup camera

 

Radar, Ultrasonic, Camera

 

Blind Spot Warning

Warns the driver via audio or visual signals-when another vehicle is in the blind spot during a lane change maneuver

  • Favorable government initiatives: Governments across the globe, including India, the U.S., and Europe, are launching initiatives to support the EV sensor market by promoting EV manufacturing, enhancing battery and charging technologies, and localizing production of components. The government of India, for instance, announced the PLI-Auto scheme of USD 3.1 billion that helps in boosting local manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products, including various types of sensors. This scheme is focused on zero-emission vehicles and applies from FY 2022-23 to FY 2026-27. In the U.S., the push towards electrification and the Biden administration’s target for 50% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030 is also expected to fuel the EV sensor market during the forecast period. 

Challenges

  • High initial costs and integration complexity: One of the key challenges affecting the electric vehicle sensor market growth is the high costs of EV sensors. Advanced sensors, including LiDAR, thermal, current, or battery monitoring, require cutting-edge technology and materials that are complex and expensive to develop and produce. In addition, the need for miniaturization, real-time data processing, and durability contributes to overall development and manufacturing costs. Thus, even though there is a high demand for these sensors, the production is not yet at a mass scale, compared to traditional automotive sensors.
  • Disruptions in the supply chain: EV sensors heavily rely on semiconductors and crucial raw materials for processing real-time data. The shortage of these is expected to delay the production processes. However, to overcome such instances, the government of India announced its plans to invest more than USD 577 million in June 2025, to boost the production of rare earth minerals following China's export curbs. In addition, delays in global shipping and rising freight costs are expected to affect the timely availability of EV sensors.
