Dublin, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Automotive Radar Market by Range, Vehicle Type, Frequency, EV Type, Mounting, Application, and Region – Global Forecast to 2033” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The automotive radar market is set to expand from USD 7.25 billion in 2026 to USD 27.03 billion by 2033, reflecting a CAGR of 20.7%
This surge is driven by the increasing integration of radar sensors in safety and driving functions, bolstered by stringent global safety regulations and radar technology advancements. Automakers are deploying multi-radar architectures-comprising front, corner, and rear radars-for improved 360-degree sensing and object detection precision.
Developments in 77-79 GHz frequency bands and high-resolution imaging radar further enhance performance in complex environments. The shift towards higher vehicle autonomy levels and sensor fusion, combining radar, cameras, and LiDAR, accelerates adoption, positioning radar as a critical, cost-effective, weather-resilient sensing technology across premium and mass-market vehicles.
The market is dominated by players like AUMOVIO SE, HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA, Robert Bosch GmbH, Magna International, and Denso Corporation. These companies employ strategies like product development and strategic partnerships to enhance their global presence.
7X-GHz Frequency Segment Expected to Dominate
7X-GHz radar systems, particularly those at 77 GHz and 79 GHz, will lead the market due to their superior resolution and detection range, essential for ADAS and higher autonomy levels. These radars enhance object detection and tracking for adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, driven by stringent safety regulations. For example, the EU’s General Safety Regulation, effective July 2024, mandates features like intelligent speed assistance and automatic emergency braking. K
ey players like Infineon Technologies, STMicroelectronics, and NXP Semiconductors provide 77 GHz radar solutions for ADAS, including object detection and collision avoidance. Notably, Gapwaves’ technology was integrated into Mercedes-Benz’s new CLA in 2025, utilizing HELLA’s 77 GHz radar sensor.
Medium-Range Radar to Hold Significant Market Share
Medium-range radar, with a range of 30-80 meters, offers an optimal balance of range, field of view, and cost. It supports core ADAS functions like blind spot detection and lane change assist, and is increasingly adopted in corner radar architectures, boosting volume demand. Operating efficiently in the 77 GHz band, medium-range radar provides enhanced resolution and compact integration capabilities, supporting Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomy, particularly in urban settings. Its cost-performance advantage over imaging and long-range radar drives adoption across global vehicle platforms, including models like Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Volkswagen ID.4, and Toyota Camry.
China to Lead Asia Pacific Market
China is projected to dominate the automotive radar market in Asia Pacific. Domestic automakers are incorporating multiple radar sensors even in mid-range models, supported by government mandates and policies. The strong local supply chain, backed by domestic semiconductor and radar manufacturers, reduces costs and import dependence.
Advanced radar technologies, including 4D imaging radar, are driven by major EV and technology-focused OEMs. For instance, Quectel Wireless Solutions showcased mmWave radar solutions in 2026. Additionally, Ford China’s Bronco New Energy models, released in December 2025, feature dual Nvidia Orin-X chips and 31 sensors, including LiDAR and millimeter-wave radars, facilitating features like Navigate on Autopilot and automatic lane change.
