The Global Automotive Radar-on-Chip Technology Market was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% to reach USD 6.9 billion by 2034. As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) push advancements from Level 2+ to Level 4 autonomy, the demand for sophisticated and scalable perception systems continues to rise. Radar-on-chip technology integrates antennas, transceivers, and signal processing components onto a single chip, significantly lowering overall system costs, minimizing size, and simplifying complexity compared to traditional radar modules. This integration is particularly beneficial for electric and compact vehicles, where saving space and power is critical. With fleet operators and the automotive industry ramping up their push for autonomous driving capabilities, radar sensors' importance grows across vehicle segments, elevating RoC to a strategic priority.
Advancements in microwave millimeter-wave (mmWave) CMOS and RF-CMOS technologies have accelerated the development of radar-on-chip systems. These improvements allow all radar components operating in the 76 to 81 GHz frequency range to be integrated into a single die, reducing size, power consumption, and costs. Economical mass production of RoC chips with high yields further supports adoption in automotive manufacturing. Moreover, modern RoC chips incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine vision processors for enhanced object detection and classification, resulting in software-defined, updatable radar systems that improve adaptability and extend product life.
