Based on the vehicle, the market is divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars segment accounted for USD 7 billion in 2024. The rising ownership of passenger vehicles along with the growing emphasis on drowsiness detection has soared the adoption of driver attention warning systems.
To cite an instance, the Indian Government announced its plans of setting the standards for "Drowsiness Alert System" installed in buses, cars, and trucks for delivering audio alerts to drivers that may fall asleep while behind the wheel. Rising consumer acceptance and awareness regarding the benefits of driver alert systems in preventing accidents and improving road safety will contribute to the segment growth.
Based on component, the driver alert system market is divided into sensor, camera, and control unit. The camera segment held 45% of the market share in 2024. The growth of the camera within driver alert systems is driven by its pivotal role in enhancing road safety. Cameras, powered by advanced sensor technology and image recognition algorithms, monitor driver behavior and road conditions in real-time. Their ability to detect drowsiness, distractions, and potential collisions contributes to accident prevention.
The growing integration of cameras in vehicles enables more accurate analysis of driver engagement and potential hazards. The rising consumer demand for safety features, and collaborations between automakers and technology firms accelerate camera component adoption.
The U.S. driver alert system market accounted for 82% of the revenue share in 2024. The growth can be attributed to the growing support from government agencies and safety organizations to mandate the inclusion of safety features in new vehicles. The rising automotive sales mainly in Canada and the U.S. has compelled multiple manufacturers to collaborate with technology companies and suppliers for developing and integrating effective driver alert systems in vehicles.
As per the Canadian Automotive Outlook, vehicle sales in Canada rose by 4.4% year-on-year during Q1 of 2023. The surging popularity of autonomous driving technologies will further drive the regional market growth.
In Europe, stringent safety regulations from agencies such as the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) are a primary growth driver for the driver alert system market. These regulations are encouraging automakers to adopt advanced driver monitoring systems across all vehicle types to achieve higher safety ratings. Europe's strong focus on autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies is leading to higher demand for sophisticated alert systems as integral parts of vehicle safety.
In APAC, rising disposable income, urbanization, and increasing awareness of road safety contribute to the demand for driver alert systems. Countries like Japan and South Korea are leading in automotive innovation, with a high adoption rate of ADAS and driver monitoring systems in both luxury and mid-range vehicles. In emerging economies like China and India, growing regulatory support for advanced safety technologies is further promoting the market for driver alert systems.
