Market Overview
The global Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2022 to 2030.
“Automotive pedestrian protection systems” consist of sensors that are installed in the front part of vehicles and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which triggers actuators that lift the engine hood during accidents when pedestrians hit the frontal part of vehicles. The complete section of ‘automobile pedestrian protection systems’ includes various kinds of technology such as Brake-Lane-Departure Warning System, ADAS / Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist System, forward collision warning, and driver caution system, external airbags, pop-up bonnets, etc. These technologies extend sensor-based safety features like brake assist and blind-spot warning to smart driving features such as adaptive cruise control.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The major effect that the pandemic had on the automotive pedestrian protection system market was a reduction in the production of vehicles by auto manufacturers. A direct result of this is a reduction in demand for automotive pedestrian protection systems. During seasonal times when there are travel restrictions and closures of public places like airports, stadiums, and shopping malls due to infection concerns, consumer demand shifts away from travel unless it is absolutely necessary. This directly affects market demand for automotive products that are unaffected by seasonal downtrends such as automotive products that offer protection to vehicles, including the pedestrian protection system sector.
Market Dynamics
The increasing number of accidents and the growing need for high-definition camera technology for enhancing the safety of vehicles are expected to drive the growth of the global automotive pedestrian protection systems market during the forecast period. Moreover, technological advancements in the automotive industry are expected to boost the global automotive pedestrian protection systems (PPS) market in near future. However, higher cost associated with automotive PPS is expected to restrain this market from growing during the forecast period.
Drivers
Ø Rising concern for road safety due to high accidents.
In recent years, road safety has been a major concern. The increasing number of road accidents has caused many deaths and injuries. These factors have made a huge impact on the automotive industry, which is investing in measures to improve road safety. In recent years, various companies have developed systems with sensors that are aimed at detecting pedestrians in the surrounding area. This can then alert drivers and stop the vehicle if necessary. This will reduce the number of accidents considerably.
Restraint:
- High Implementing Costs
High costs of implementing pedestrian protection systems are expected to hinder the growth of the global automotive pedestrian protection systems (PPS) market in the coming years. This can be attributed to the fact that appearance-based sensors, which are highly sophisticated than other types of sensors, cost more. Furthermore, limited functionalities offered by these sensors is also likely to hamper the growth of the overall market.
Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems Opportunity:
- Technological advancements
Technological advancements like new radar systems and the rise in advanced, computer vision-based pedestrian protection systems are helping to create a market opportunity for players operating in the PPS industry over the forecast period. One way to look at this is that these new technologies are not just creating a revenue opportunity but they’re also pushing forward the demand in other areas such as manufacturing methods, commercialization, and sales which is good news for everyone.
Segment Overview
By Type
Based on type, the global Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) market has been divided into Active Pedestrian Protection systems and Passive Pedestrian Protection Systems. If a system is designed to prevent the collision or mitigate its damage, it is categorized as an active approach. Contrarily, if a system is designed to minimize the pedestrian’s damage after the collision, it is categorized as a passive approach.
By Application
By Application, the global Automotive Pedestrian Protection (PPS) market has been segmented into Passenger Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles. The passenger vehicle segment is expected to witness the highest growth in the forecasted period due to the increasing adoption of the cabs and taxis.
Global Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market Share, by Segmentation
Based on region, the global Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is projected to dominate the use of the Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) market followed by the Asia Pacific region.
North America Market
The automotive pedestrian protection system market in the North American region held the dominant position in 2021 and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period. The stringency of the regulatory bodies towards reducing the carbon footprint and emissions, as well as prevention of road accidents are the factors propelling this regional automotive system towards growth. Examples of such regulations include Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) Standards in the U.S., which can be used to pressure manufacturers into adopting energy-efficient systems by formulating rules with regards to reduction of petroleum consumption and hiking up utilization of alternative fuel vehicles such as hybrid automobiles.
Asia Pacific Market
The Asia Pacific market for Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The major factors responsible for the growth of this market are rising safety concerns for pedestrians and growing awareness about the efficiency of PPS systems among the automotive OEMs. Rising incidence of road accidents caused due to collision between vehicles and pedestrians are in turn driving the demand for PPS systems.
