The growing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive adaptive cruise control market in the future. Electric vehicles (EVs) are cars powered primarily or entirely by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries. Automotive adaptive cruise control is utilized in electric vehicles to deliver core advantages such as enhanced safety and driver convenience. It improves the overall experience of driving electric vehicles by making it safer, more efficient, and less frustrating. For example, a report published by Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, revealed that in January 2024, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States opted for electric vehicles in 2023, representing 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, an increase from 5.9% in 2022. Thus, the rising demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the automotive adaptive cruise control market.

Major companies operating in the automotive adaptive cruise control market are emphasizing the development of innovative technological solutions such as magnet-free inductive position sensing to improve motor control accuracy, enhance system reliability, and lower costs in electric and hybrid vehicle applications. Magnet-free inductive position sensing refers to a technology that detects the position or movement of a target using electromagnetic induction rather than magnets, providing high precision, durability, and resistance to magnetic interference. For instance, in October 2023, Renesas, a Japan-based semiconductor company, introduced an induction motor position sensing technology designed to optimize performance across applications such as electric vehicles and industrial automation. By precisely identifying the rotor’s position, the technology increases torque output, decreases energy consumption, and enhances overall system reliability. Its use is especially valuable in advanced automotive systems, including electric drivetrains and adaptive cruise control, thereby strengthening Renesas’s presence in the automotive technology market.

In June 2023, Magna International Inc., a US-based mobility technology company, concluded the acquisition of Veoneer Active Safety for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is aimed at fortifying Magna's position within the market and expanding its product portfolio and customer base. Veoneer Active Safety, a Sweden-based automotive electronics safety systems provider, specializes in automotive adaptive cruise control systems, a valuable addition that aligns with Magna's objectives for market growth and innovation.
