Worldwide Parking Sensors Market 2014 to 2020 – Industry Survey

The global market for parking sensors is expected to reach USD 9,782.9 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Parking sensors prevent physical damage to the vehicle by alerting the driver when the automotive approaches an obstacle. Furthermore, they help prevent potential injury to pedestrians. These features are particularly useful in light of reducing parking spaces and changing dimensions of the average car, thus acting as a key driver for industry growth.

Parking sensors employing ultrasonic technology accounted for 65.1% of the overall market share in 2012. Electromagnetic parking sensors are expected to grow faster than the global average at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2013 to 2020. Installation by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) accounted for 80.7% of the market in 2012. The price range for these installations is much higher as compared to their aftermarket counterparts, thereby contributing largely to revenue.

Further Key findings from the study suggest:

    The global parking sensors market was estimated to be valued at USD 2,546 million in 2012, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2013 to 2020.
    Ultrasonic parking sensors are expected to continue dominating the global market over the forecast period. However, electromagnetic technology is expected to be a fast growing segment, primarily because it helps combat issues such as presence of visible parts on the vehicle’s bumper. Additionally, electromagnetic sensors are self diagnostic and are equipped with a maintenance system. Preservation of the aesthetic appearance of the automotive coupled with superior design in the form of a transceiver adhesive strip is expected to be the chief driver for this segment....
