The pedestrian detection system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of autonomous vehicle technology, increasing urbanization and pedestrian traffic, the development of smart cities and infrastructure, Growth in demand for real-time data processing, growing emphasis on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use of 3D and multi-sensor fusion technologies, growth in demand for real-time data processing, advancements in camera and sensor technologies, enhanced software algorithms for improved accuracy, expansion of pedestrian detection systems in various vehicle segments, rising focus on reducing false positives, and improving system reliability.

The rising number of road fatalities is expected to drive the growth of the pedestrian detection system market. Road fatalities are deaths resulting directly from injuries sustained in traffic accidents or road-related incidents. Contributing factors include higher vehicle speeds, distracted driving due to mobile phone use, and inadequate road safety measures. Additionally, increasing urbanization and a higher number of vehicles on the road lead to more frequent and severe traffic accidents. Pedestrian detection systems, which utilize AI, sensors, and cameras in vehicles and road infrastructure, are designed to identify pedestrians and prevent accidents, thus reducing road fatalities. For example, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported in March 2024 that 20,653 people were killed in road accidents in the EU in 2022, marking a 3.7% increase from 2021. Consequently, the rising number of road fatalities is fueling the growth of the pedestrian detection system market.

Major companies in the pedestrian detection system market are emphasizing AI integration into proactive safety measures, such as AI-powered object detection, to improve safety, reduce accidents, and provide real-time insights for better decision-making. AI-powered object detection identifies people and material handling equipment (MHE), offering visual and audio alerts for potential hazards. For example, in December 2023, Powerfleet Inc., a US-based technology company, introduced its advanced pedestrian proximity detection solution, utilizing AI technology to enhance safety in warehouses and manufacturing facilities. This solution includes three vehicle-mounted cameras and real-time analytics, aiming to meet the increasing demand for effective safety measures in environments with growing labor and safety challenges.
