Radar Sensor Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, Range, Application and End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030

Radar Sensor Market Outlook – 2030 

The global radar sensor market size was valued at $10.63 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $33.14 billion by 2030, to register a CAGR of 13.1% from 2021 to 2030.

The radar sensor is an electronic device that transforms microwave echo signals into electrical signals. Basically, it uses wireless sensing technology to sense motion by figuring out the shape, object’s position, motion trajectory, and motion characteristics. Radar sensor is generally used for longer distances and it is safe for animals and humans. 

These sensors aren't influenced by darkness & light. Also, automotive radar sensor is widely used these days for radar-based driver assistance systems such as collision warning and adaptive cruise control. These are capable of recognizing & detecting objects up to 240 meters. For instance, Infineon automotive radar products offer features such as lane change assistance (LCA), blind spot detection (BSD), and collision mitigation (CM), among others.

The global radar sensor market is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Factors such as safety and security needs in automotive applications, and an increase in the need for border security systems drive the growth of the radar sensor market. Also, the adoption of the wideband 5G & millimeter wave–based RF systems boost the overall market growth. However, high development & installation costs are a major restraint to the global radar sensor industry. In addition, the growing defense sector in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the radar sensor industry.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

• The arrival of COVID-19 has significantly affected the electronics and semiconductor sector. Business and manufacturing units across various countries were closed, owing to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, and are estimated to remain closed in 2021. Furthermore, partial or complete lockdown has disrupted the global supply chain posing challenges for manufacturers to reach customers.
• The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak is growing day by day as well as affecting the overall business globally. The crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market, falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among the customer segments.
• The Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered a major loss of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. The operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which led to an impact on the growth of the radar sensor market in 2020.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the electronics sector as the production facilities have stalled, which in turn has the significant demand for electronics and semiconductor products in the industries. Its major impact includes a large-scale manufacturing interruption across Europe, an interruption in Chinese parts exports, which may hinder the radar sensor market.
