Automotive Radar Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026 - 2035
The Global Automotive Radar Market was valued at USD 7.2 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.3% to reach USD 29.2 billion by 2035.
The rising adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) has significantly fueled the demand for automotive radars, as they serve as critical components within these systems. Increasing patent filings related to ADAS technologies further sustain the consistent need for radar solutions. The automotive sector is also experiencing growth in connected vehicles, which integrate multiple radar sensors to enhance safety and automation features. These radars support real-time AI and machine learning applications, enabling vehicles to make faster decisions, anticipate hazards, and optimize traffic handling. Short-range radar is gaining prominence in assisting parking, monitoring blind spots, and preventing low-speed collisions by accurately detecting nearby objects. Manufacturers are now combining these radars with cameras and ultrasonic sensors to improve precision, performance in adverse weather conditions, and cost efficiency for both commercial and passenger vehicles.

The 77 GHz radar segment accounted for USD 4.2 billion in 2025. Offering superior accuracy and detection range, 77 GHz radars are highly reliable for identifying vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles at varying distances. Their capabilities are crucial for modern ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision alerts, and blind-spot monitoring, which are increasingly mandated in several regions. Automotive companies are deploying multiple radar units throughout vehicles' front, rear, and corners, most of which rely on 77 GHz sensors due to their robustness and scalability.
The medium-range radar (MRR) held a 42.3% share in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 12.3 billion by 2035. MRR systems are essential for autonomous parking, urban collision prevention, and enabling a comprehensive awareness of the surrounding environment. As urban centers transition toward intelligent transportation systems, commercial fleets, ride-hailing services, and last-mile delivery vehicles are relying heavily on MRR for navigating high-traffic zones. The growth of smart transport initiatives and connected infrastructure is creating increasing demand for radar-based safety solutions in both commercial and passenger vehicles.
United States Automotive Radar Market reached USD 817.4 million in 2025. Commercial trucking fleets are increasingly integrating radar detection technologies to minimize highway accidents and enhance driver assistance during long-haul operations. These systems are also being installed in passenger vehicles to provide improved safety features such as blind-spot detection and lane departure alerts, driven by the presence of major domestic automakers producing high-tech vehicles.
Key players dominating the Global Automotive Radar Market include Bosch, Denso, Aptiv, Continental, Infineon, NXP Semiconductors, Analog Devices, ZF Friedrichshafen, Valeo, and Texas Instruments. Leading companies in the automotive radar market are adopting strategic measures to solidify their market presence. These include forging alliances and partnerships with automotive manufacturers to integrate radar technologies into new vehicles, expanding research and development for next-generation radar sensors, and investing in AI and machine learning capabilities to enhance real-time decision-making in vehicles. They are also focusing on regional expansion, acquiring smaller tech firms, and offering cost-effective, high-performance solutions for both commercial and passenger vehicles. By continuously innovating and diversifying product portfolios, these companies strengthen their foothold in the growing radar market while meeting evolving regulatory and technological demands.
