Automotive Event Data Recorder Market Report 2026

The automotive event data recorder market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.77 billion in 2025 to $2.95 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to vehicle safety investigations, early edr adoption, accident analysis requirements, regulatory compliance, automotive electronics growth.

The automotive event data recorder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to connected car expansion, autonomous vehicle testing, advanced safety analytics, insurance telematics growth, data-driven mobility. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing mandates for crash data recording, integration with connected vehicle platforms, adoption in electric and autonomous vehicles, growth in insurance analytics, demand for data transparency.

The increase in traffic accidents is expected to drive the growth of the automotive event data recorder market in the coming years. Traffic accidents are unforeseen incidents on roadways involving vehicles that result in property damage, injuries, or fatalities. The growing number of traffic accidents is mainly attributed to rising vehicle usage, as more vehicles on the road lead to increased congestion, more frequent driver interactions, and a higher probability of collisions. Automotive event data recorders support traffic accident analysis by capturing critical information before, during, and after a crash, enabling precise accident reconstruction and supporting road safety initiatives. For instance, in January 2024, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), an Australia-based government body, 1,266 fatalities were recorded on Australian roads in 2023, representing a 7.3% increase compared with 2022. Therefore, the rise in traffic accidents is contributing to the growth of the automotive event data recorder market.

The increasing electric vehicle production is expected to propel the growth of the automotive event data recorder market going forward. Electric vehicle production refers to the process of designing, manufacturing, and assembling battery-powered vehicles that use electric motors instead of internal combustion engines. The increasing electric vehicle production is primarily due to growing environmental concerns, as governments and consumers seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by shifting from traditional fossil fuel-powered cars to cleaner, more sustainable electric alternatives. Automotive event data recorder enhances electric vehicle production by providing critical data insights that improve vehicle safety, performance, and compliance with regulatory standards, thereby accelerating innovation and consumer trust in electric mobility. For instance, in January 2024, according to Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States chose electric vehicles, accounting for 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, up from 5.9% in 2022. Therefore, the increasing electric vehicle production is driving the growth of the automotive event data recorder market.

Major companies in the automotive event data recorder market are increasingly focusing on developing innovative solutions such as next-generation vehicle safety systems for both passenger cars and commercial trucks. Next-generation vehicle safety systems refer to advanced technologies integrated into vehicles to enhance driver and passenger safety through automated features, sensors, and real-time data processing. These systems help by reducing the risk of accidents, preventing collisions, and enhancing situational awareness through features such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. In May 2024, Plus, a US-based autonomous trucking technology company, introduced PlusProtect, an AI-powered safety system designed to enhance next-generation vehicle safety. As part of its broader suite of advanced vehicle safety functionalities, plusprotect includes an optional, easily extractable event data recorder. The system features high-performance automatic emergency braking, enhanced lane departure warnings, traffic jam assist, and self-calibrating sensors. With capabilities such as over-the-air updates and predictive fuel optimization, PlusProtect offers scalable safety solutions aligned with evolving standards, supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and paving the way for future vehicle automation.
