Steadily Rising On-Road Autonomous Vehicle Fleet Presents Opportunities for Occupant Classification System Manufacturers

Automotive players have stepped up their efforts to commercialise self-driving cars. As an autonomous fleet exemplifies the sensor-driven automation environment, constantly expanding sales of autonomous vehicles create attractive potential for occupant categorization system makers.

Even though they are driverless, autonomous vehicles need distinct and dependable sensor technologies to ensure passenger safety. As autonomous vehicle makers maintain passenger safety by matching vehicle features to regulatory standards, the installation of an occupant classification system in autonomous vehicles is expected to rise in the future, propelling the occupant classification system market forward.

Rising Vehicle Statistics Present Lucrative Opportunities for Occupant Classification System Market

An increase in the number of vehicles in operation (VIO) and a growing focus on the installation of automated safety measures in automobiles present prospects for producers of occupant classification systems.

As per to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) data, nearly 57.2 million motor vehicle were produced in 2021 which was 10% more as compare with year 2020. Asia and Oceania are on the top by manufacturing 57.1% of total motor vehicles. Further, more than 40 million procars were produced which holds 70% of total motor vehicle production.

A growing population of discriminating consumers with higher purchasing power continuously seek better safety features in the vehicles they purchase. Because most mid-sized passenger car models now have advanced occupant classification systems, the growing number of vehicles on the road bodes well for occupant classification system makers.

Automaker’s Focus on Sensor Innovations Befits the Market’s Progressive Outlook

The increasing dependence on electronic systems to improve safety of the passengers, vehicle performance and comfort, has prompted automakers to incorporate sensor technology in sophisticated vehicle models. Sensor innovation is amongst the most trending ecosystems in the automobile sector, with significant stakeholder investment.

Among the several sensing technologies under development, for example occupant gesture recognition, under occupant classification system technology is indeed one of the primary sensing technologies on which automotive OEMs are focusing their efforts.

Over the last five years, occupant classification system makers have seen a number of partnerships to integrate these technologies into new automotive models.

Investment in Disruptive Technology Innovations Aimed at Reducing Driver Distraction Gaining Ground

Automotive manufacturers, especially carmakers, are providing a variety of infotainment and other electronic features which drivers and passengers may operate. Nonetheless, an increasing number of functioning features within the vehicle pose the risk of driver distraction.

According to studies, visual and manual distractions are at the forefront of the reasons of driver distraction. As manufacturers and product development engineers work to design functionality features that need the least amount of driver attention, gesture detection systems based on various sensors and 3D tracking technologies continue to fall short of reaching maximum efficiency.

Revolutionary technologies are being developed in the automobile gesture recognition sector, with the goal of reducing driving attention and improving driver control and comfort at a low cost. Such innovations are likely to have an impact on the growth trajectory of the automotive gesture recognition market in the future years.
