Autonomous Vehicles Market Trends




  • Growing demand for modern automotive safety and energy-efficient vehicles is driving the market growth.




Market CAGR for autonomous vehicles is being driven by the growing demand for modern automotive safety and energy-efficient vehicles. There is an increase in the acquisition of emission-free and fuel or energy-efficient vehicles. The manifestation of the strict emission norms has pushed the automakers to innovate new generation clean energy vehicles, like EVs, battery electric vehicles, and others. Furthermore, the growing incidents of road accidents because of human error or the absence of safety features in automobiles are boosting the requirement for autonomous vehicles.


The increase in the adoption of energy-efficient vehicles as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel powered vehicles is due to the growing fossil-fuel prices, as there is limited availability of the same. A significant level of autonomy and modern technologies are equipped in these vehicles to run. Therefore, they avail enhanced efficiency through efficient driving and controlled energy consumption. There is a global growth in demand for improved clean energy autonomous vehicles across the worldwide population is boosting the market growth. The manufacturers are emphasizing collaborating with autonomous cars technology developers in order to meet the requirement of the growing population. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with modern safety technologies like parking assistance systems, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection systems, and other benefits. The manufacturers are aiming to develop driverless cars and related technologies that will help the automobile to monitor the surrounding of the vehicle and take control of the car in different situations in order to prevent crashes due to lack of safety features.


With the development of AI-based cameras like SWIR for self-driving cars, the autonomous vehicle market is gaining unprecedented technological development. Worldwide regulators have employed developing policy and legislative frameworks for the technologically evolving market. The companies have started to incline their development and resource efforts towards delivery vehicles and automated trucks in response to difficulties in commercializing Maas. The perception of go-anywhere robo-taxis has proven to be more complex than predicted due to the self-driving cars market demand and technological challenges. Thus, driving the Autonomous Vehicles market revenue.


Autonomous Vehicles Market Segment Insights:


Autonomous Vehicles Type Insights


The Autonomous Vehicles Market segmentation, based on type, includes Fully Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous. The semi-autonomous segment dominated the market, accounting for the largest market revenue. Semi-autonomous technology is available in almost all new-generation vehicles for efficient driving. Hence, the adoption of semi-autonomous vehicles is increasing, with features like ADAS, autopilot, automated vehicle braking, and parking systems, and others are likely to boost the market growth. The fully autonomous segment is the fastest-growing in the autonomous vehicle market as it has improved road safety without human interaction, hence, reducing car crashes.


Autonomous Vehicles Vehicle Type Insights


The Autonomous Vehicles Market segmentation, based on vehicle type, includes the Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles. The passenger cars segment dominates the market as people prefer private transport means to avoid overcrowded public transport. There is an increasing requirement for the automated SUV, and after the pandemic, maintaining social distancing drives has increased the adoption of passenger cars. The commercial vehicle segment is the fastest growing segment in the autonomous vehicles market as these vehicles have fixed paths and more distance traveled and thus creating fatigue for the drivers. Therefore, autonomous vehicles can be more applicable to this situation and prevent accidents.
