Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Due to commute restrictions, COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global market for automotive pedestrian protection systems. Changing regulations and policies, managing working capital, executing supply chains, and being reliant on labor were just a few of the obstacles that the market had to overcome. To manage the pandemic's effects, organizations, on the other hand, developed strategic plans to cut costs. In the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, there has been an increase in the demand for vehicle tracking hardware and management software.

Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market - Drivers:

Inclination of consumers towards the market

Increasing inclination of consumers towards safe, comfortable, and convenient automobile systems is driving growth of the market. Furthermore, high prevalence of road accidents is fueling growth of the market. Therefore, such factors are propelling demand for stringent regulations by government regarding Antilock Braking Systems (ABS), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), Tire Pressure Management Systems (TPMS), and airbags across the globe to enhance user safety. For instance, in 2008, the U.S. Congress Transport Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act mandated the deployment of tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) technology in all passenger vehicles to enhance driver and passenger safety by means of a dashboard warning system.

Advancement in radar system

Advancement in radar system is one of the major drivers for growth of the global automotive pedestrian protection systems market. Radars are necessary in advanced autonomous driving system. It provides warning to the driver regarding potential collisions and can be used to avoid blind spot crashes. Radar sensors are responsible for collecting vital information such as range, angle, and Doppler velocity. This information is used to determine the driving situation and give warning to the driver in potentially dangerous situations.

Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market - Opportunities:

Advancements in technology

The development of advanced sensor technologies such as LiDAR, radar, and cameras, combined with AI and machine learning algorithms, is enhancing the accuracy and reliability of pedestrian detection and collision avoidance systems. This presents opportunities for companies to develop and commercialize innovative PPS technologies.

Electric and autonomous vehicles

 With the increasing popularity of electric and autonomous vehicles, there is a growing need for PPS systems that can integrate with these technologies. The development of PPS systems that are compatible with electric and autonomous vehicles presents a significant opportunity for the industry.

Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market was valued at US$ 2,849.7 Mn in 2022 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 13,323.2 Mn by 2030, exhibiting CAGR of 21.3% between 2023 and 2030.

Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market – Trend

Increasing demand for active safety features

The demand for active safety features in vehicles is increasing, including PPS systems that can detect and avoid collisions with pedestrians. This trend is driven by the rising awareness of pedestrian safety and government regulations mandating the installation of PPS in vehicles.

Growing importance of pedestrian safety ratings

 Pedestrian safety ratings are becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry. Organizations such as Euro NCAP and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are providing ratings based on the effectiveness of PPS systems in preventing pedestrian accidents. This is driving manufacturers to improve the performance of their PPS systems to achieve higher safety ratings.

 Automotive Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPS) Market - Restraints:

High cost for implementing safety features

high cost for implementing safety features for pedestrian protection is restraining growth of the market. For instance, airbags have some limitations such as it inflates just once on impact, after which it needs to be replaced. Moreover, it is expensive and hence, the requirement for installation of airbag every time will be cost nominal.

 Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with safety regulations and standards can be a challenge for manufacturers of PPS systems. Meeting regulatory requirements can require significant investments in research and development, testing, and certification
