Adaptive Cruise Control Market: Strategic Insights

Adaptive Cruise Control Market Growth Drivers

• Increased consumer awareness: As more and more consumers are getting aware of the safety features of vehicles, the demand for sophisticated safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control systems is also increasing. Manufacturers need to equip their vehicles with these systems to meet consumers' expectations and improve the safety rating.
• Regulatory Pressure and Safety Standards: The governments and safety organizations are enforcing strict regulations and safety standards on vehicles. The stringent regulatory environment is making automakers adopt ACC technologies to meet the required safety standards, which is propelling market growth. Governments around the world are implementing more rigorous safety standards for vehicles that are forcing car manufacturers to fit vehicles with advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control. Governments are doing this to curtail road traffic fatalities and improve public safety. In the U.S. and other parts of Europe, governments are now forcing car manufacturers to include ADAS technologies, such as ACC, in new models. For instance, the European Union has required that new cars include such features as automatic emergency braking, which is often used in combination with adaptive cruise control.
• Advancements in Sensors and Radar Systems: ACC systems use a variety of sensors, radar, and camera technologies to detect the distance, speed, and movement of vehicles ahead. Recent advances in these sensor technologies have significantly improved the performance, reliability, and affordability of ACC systems. Radar and lidar technologies have advanced so that ACC systems can more accurately detect objects at higher distances, even in rainy or foggy conditions and night driving. With decreasing sensor and radar technology costs, ACC is being fitted to wider model ranges of vehicles by automobile manufacturers, including mid-range and entry-level models.

Adaptive Cruise Control Market Future Trends

• Traffic Congestion and Need for Convenience: Growing urbanization and increasing road traffic congestion are driving demand for technologies that reduce the stress of driving, especially in stop-and-go traffic. ACC helps because it automatically adjusts to match speed with traffic flow, thus making it quite useful for dense urban or highway traffic. The rising time spent in traffic, especially while commuting, has been encouraging drivers to seek technologies that make driving less tiring. ACC gives the advantage of providing constant speed and proper following distance, thus calling for acceleration and braking less frequently. Low-speed capability is more common in ACCs to enable them to perform under stop-and-go conditions of traffic. This is good because it does not make drivers do too much in heavy traffic as they will just go by the pace.
• Shift Towards Electric Vehicles: The popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles, usually fitting the description of ADAS, also contributes to increasing adoption for ACC. Electric and hybrid vehicles are known for carrying more complex electrical and sensor systems that perfectly complement the functionality that ACC provides. Most electric and hybrid vehicles, especially premium vehicle manufacturers, carry the installation of ACC as standard in the vehicle. This would integrate ACC into the electric vehicles and will support the trend for more intelligent and automated driving systems in the EV market. Electric and hybrid vehicles are mostly marketed for their high-tech features, and ACC is seen as a premium feature that adds value to the vehicle. Sales for electric and hybrid vehicles continue to increase, which means an increasing number of consumers will start accepting ACC.

Adaptive Cruise Control Market Opportunities

• Integration of Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) in Low Cost Vehicles: Initially, ACC was used mainly in luxury vehicles. However, with the decline of the cost of sensor technologies, there is much room to include ACC in middle-class and budget vehicles. Companies targeting middle-income customers, especially in emerging economies, can offer ACC as standard or optional features in budget vehicles, thus significantly increasing the penetration of ACC in the market. In regions such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa, where car ownership is fast growing, ACC-equipped vehicles can be launched at relatively lower price points, hence reaching a broader demographic segment.
• Demand from Aftermarket Operations: With increasing ACC adoption, companies are offered the opportunity to supply aftermarket ACC systems that may be fit onto older vehicles where new vehicle sales are less prevalent. Aftermarket firms may design and sell retrofit kits of ACC for vehicles without such an installed facility. This will give them the chance to capture revenue for companies marketing towards drivers who want to enhance safety and comfort of their vehicle. Partnering with service providers for vehicle repair and maintenance to make ACC installation and upgrades available will increase take up for this technology among the older vehicles.
