By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA) including country-level analysis for each region.

The automotive industry has reformed significantly in developing regions such as India, Brazil, Mexico, and Morocco, as production and sales have changed. Moreover, the majority of the leading automakers have production facilities as these countries have a good source of raw materials, manufacturing-friendly policies, and a cost-effective workforce. For instance, in December 2021, LETIN, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, commenced production of its latest model, the Mengo Pro, a compact 4-door battery electric vehicle, at its manufacturing facility in Weifang, Shandong Province. The vehicle boasts an array of advanced features, including a state-of-the-art keyless entry and start system, a cutting-edge 9-inch intelligent console screen, an intuitive voice control system, and a highly sophisticated millimeter-radar Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system, ensuring an enhanced and technologically advanced driving experience.

Furthermore, end users in these countries are inclined toward high-end technology-enabled automotive along with cost-effective and fuel-efficient solutions. In addition, governments of developing nations are introducing supporting policies to boost sales of automotive keyless entry systems, which in turn, is expected to create an opportunity for market participants to focus on these countries and gain a competitive advantage.

On the basis of sales channel, the automotive keyless entry system market is segregated into OEM and aftermarket. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) products are installed in the newly manufactured vehicle. The automotive keyless entry systems installed at the time of the automotive production activities at the automotive OEM end are considered under the OEM segment.

In addition, OEM products constitute a larger part of the overall automotive security products sales across the globe. Industry players have mainly focused on developing OEM products for new vehicles, due to the rapid growth of the automotive industry. Market participants have focused on launching automotive keyless entry systems to cater to consumer demands. Various developments have taken place in the field of automotive keyless entry system market; thereby, providing better and more advanced vehicle security products to be equipped in automobiles. For instance, in April 2023, BMW launched BMW Digital Key Plus compatible Android devices via email, SMS or any other messaging service, which conveniently opens, starts, and closes the vehicle without having to take the mobile phone out of the pocket.
