The automotive night vision system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption across mid-range vehicles, increasing demand for advanced thermal sensors, expansion of autonomous driving safety features, development of smart hud-integrated night displays, rising vehicle safety regulations worldwide. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-enhanced night vision detection systems, expansion of autonomous vehicle night safety platforms, integration of IoT-connected night vision modules, advancement of data-driven thermal imaging technologies, development of ev-compatible night vision solutions.

The increasing demand for advanced in-vehicle safety is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive night vision system market. Advanced in-vehicle safety encompasses innovative technologies and systems aimed at enhancing the safety of both passengers and drivers. This demand is fueled by heightened safety concerns, regulatory mandates, and consumer preferences. As consumers become more aware of the advantages of advanced safety features, such as automotive night vision systems (ANVS), interest grows. For instance, in September 2025, according to the Department for Transport, a UK-based government department, motorcyclists accounted for 21% of all road fatalities in 2024, marking an 8% increase compared to 2023. Consequently, the rising demand for advanced in-vehicle safety solutions is propelling the growth of the automotive night vision system market.

Leading companies in the automotive night vision system market are concentrating on developing advanced infrared technology solutions, such as the Digital Vision System-Mirrors, to enhance nighttime visibility and minimize accidents. These Digital Vision System mirrors improve driver awareness by providing high-definition visuals and essential information in low-light conditions. For example, in June 2024, Peterbilt Motors, a US-based manufacturing company, introduced the Digital Vision System-Mirrors. The DVS-M system employs three High Dynamic Range (HDR) cameras with hydrophobic lenses for optimal visibility in adverse weather conditions. It is controlled via a joystick and displayed on two high-definition monitors designed to reduce visibility disruption. These monitors offer three viewing layouts and include features such as automatic trailer tracking and infrared night vision. Additionally, the DVS-M enhances driver safety by decreasing blind spots and glare, while achieving fuel savings of up to 1.5% and incorporating automatic camera defrost functionality in low temperatures.

In June 2023, Magna International, a Canadian manufacturing company, acquired Veoneer US Safety Systems LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Magna International as one of the few suppliers capable of managing the increasing complexities of advanced software, systems, and integration by providing a comprehensive range of solutions to its customers. Veoneer US Safety Systems LLC, a US-based company, specializes in improving vehicle safety through innovative technologies, including automotive night vision systems.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the automotive night vision system market by increasing import costs for thermal cameras, infrared sensors, imaging processors, and optical components that rely on global semiconductor supply chains. Automotive manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific face heightened procurement costs and extended delivery cycles, particularly for high-spec imaging modules. However, tariffs are encouraging regional sensor manufacturing, domestic assembly of imaging units, and investment in cost-optimized thermal technologies, improving long-term supply chain resilience for night vision system suppliers.

An Automotive Night Vision System (ANVS) is a technology designed to enhance a vehicle's visibility and safety during low-light or night-time driving situations, utilizing a thermographic camera and sensor system to overcome visual obstructions caused by darkness, smoke, or fog. These systems often integrate collision avoidance features and audio or visual alerts, aiding in identifying pedestrians, animals, and potential hazards that may not be easily visible to the driver.

The primary components of an automotive night vision system include a night vision camera, sensors, a display unit, a controlling unit, and additional supplementary elements. The night vision camera functions by capturing images in low-light conditions, predominantly at night, using infrared light to illuminate the scene and provide visibility to the camera. It operates through the utilization of far-infrared (FIR) and near-infrared (NIR) technologies, and its output can be integrated into various vehicle systems such as the instrument cluster, navigation system, and head-up display (HUD). These ANVS technologies are employed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and in the aftermarket sector.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the automotive night vision system market in 2025.
