One of the biggest factors propelling the demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in India is the rising incidence of road accidents in the country. Since the last few years, there has been a massive surge in the prevalence of road accidents and fatalities in the country, which have consequently boosted the need for the installation of ADAS in vehicles in order to improve vehicular safety. The Government of India (GOI) intends to make the integration of ADAS in passenger vehicles mandatory by 2022, in order to reduce the incidence of road accidents in the country.
The other important factors responsible for the surge in the demand for ADAS in India are the soaring disposable income of people and the increasing demand for vehicles equipped with automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven systems. Nowadays, people are preferring vehicles equipped with various types of advanced systems, mainly on account of their higher purchasing capability and the rapid technological advancements in the automotive sector. Driven by these factors, the Indian advanced driver assistance systems market is predicted to witness rapid growth during the forecast period (2020–2030).

There are multiple types of advanced driver assistance systems incorporated in vehicles — drowsiness monitoring system (DMS), adaptive cruise control system (ACCS), tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS), blind spot detection system (BSDS), adaptive front-lighting system (AFLS), lane departure warning system (LDWS), parking assist system (PAS), and various other types of driver monitoring and night vision systems. Amongst these, BSDSs and ACCSs are predicted to observe wide-scale adoption in vehicles during the forecast period. The AFLS is anticipated to register the fastest growth in demand during the forecast period.
There are different types of sensors used in the advanced driver assistance systems, namely infrared sensors, image sensors, radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors, laser sensors, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. Out of these, the LiDAR sensors are predicted to record the highest growth in demand during the forecast period. In addition to this, the radar sensors are expected to register the highest sales amongst the different types of sensors, during the forecast period.
The biggest trend currently being observed in the Indian ADAS market is the increasing number of technical collaborations amongst the major automobile and ADAS manufacturing companies. These collaborations are being formed mainly in order to meet the surging technology demands in the country. Moreover, the rapid technological advancements are significantly boosting the need for enhanced safety and comfort features in vehicles, which is in turn, propelling the demand for vehicles equipped with ADAS, in the country. For instance, Mando Corp. signed a contract for the supply of ADAS, with Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. in April 2019.
Hence, it is clear that owing to the increasing prevalence of road accidents in the country and the rising disposable income of the people, the demand for ADAS is expected to shoot-up in India over the next few years.
