Occupant Sensing System (OSS) Market

According to the findings by The World Bank, 1.25 million deaths are reported each year due to road accidents, with 20-50 million people being seriously injured by casualties on road. Owing to such incidents, automotive certification bodies has raised concerns regarding the safety of driver and occupants inside a vehicle, enforcing automotive manufacturers to enable mechanisms to prevent and reduce casualties. Owing to such regulations, occupant sensing system market is gaining traction and its market is valued at $721.63 million as of 2020. These systems equipped with sensors are able to detect and locate the presence and classification of occupants in a vehicle. And via automotive electronic control unit it adjusts the imperative aspects of précising the amount of deflation or inflation required by airbags in case of accidents.

Occupant Sensing System Market Outlook:

Collision detection and avoidance systems are on the radar of innovation for automotive manufacturers. With occupant sensing systems being a vital element of such mechanisms, its market is progressing with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.61% during the forecast period of 2020-2025.

Automotive related fatalities are worldwide occurrences projecting occupant sensing market a sector with ample opportunities and demand. But, an analysis of the regional market business insights states APAC as the most lucrative marketplace in terms of global demand. Configured with economies such as Japan, India and China with their flourishing automotive manufacturing nucleus, APAC in 2020 occupied 34.27% share in global occupant sensing system market demand. Increasing disposable income amalgamated with purchasing power of consumers have encouraged consumers to invest in their safety and security during transit.

Some factors supporting the argument:

• China secures the apex spot in terms of vehicle market and its automotive output is foreseen to reach 30 million units by 2020 and 35 million by 2025. The robustly growing automotive sector of China with manufacturing capacity of nearly 30 million units annually is a profitable marketplace for OSS to capitalize upon. In China, for automotive it is essential to clear CCC certification (China Certification Corporation) for the safety of the passenger vehicles.

• As per an analysis by India Brand Equity Foundation, Indian automotive industry managed to attract FDI worth $20.85 billion from 2000-2020. It is the 7th largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles with automotive exports growing 15.54 % during 2020. Domestic automobile production in FY2020 was 29.07 million. India is estimated to be the global leader in shared mobility by 2030 and leading automotive market by 2020.

• European Automotive Manufacturer Association states that the number of passenger cars produced globally in 2020 was 80 million out of the 98.9 million motor vehicle produced in the same year. Thus, a majority of OSS application is consumed by the light commercial vehicle segment progressing with an application CAGR of 7.02% going through 2025.

OSS Market Trends and Growth Drivers:

• Increasing sales of premium vehicles has augmented an influx of investment in R&D. Automotive manufacturers are working towards the amalgamation of sensors with occupant’s brain waves. These sensors could also give instant information to the sensors when the driver is about to make any sudden driving action like braking and turning hence making the process more efficient, precise and safe.

• The assimilation of health monitoring system in cars by evolving seat sensor technology is improving its applications for analyzing the health of the occupant. If the occupant has any sudden health issues like heart attack, panic attack, the sensors detects the occupants ailment which are linked to cloud based internet services that will spontaneously redirect the information to any healthcare or emergency facilities nearby.

• In 2020, Delphi Automotive plc, a global leader in OSS market confirmed an agreement with Great Wall Motor Co., a Chinese automotive giant for supplying occupant sensing systems along with scanners and radar for latest SUV models output by Great Wall Motor Co.

Occupant Sensing System Market Challenges:

One of the major challenges hindering the market growth is the exuberant pricing of vehicles loaded with cutting-edge technology such as OSS. However, consistent enforcement by federal authorities regarding vehicle occupant safety is forcing the automotive manufacturers to employ OSS is premium as well as budget segment, thus establishing the occupant sensing market as an imperative association.
