Vehicle Intrusion Detection Global Market Report 2025

The vehicle intrusion detection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.76 billion in 2024 to $2.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising vehicle theft rates, growth of connected vehicles, increasing cyber threats, government regulations on vehicle safety, and rise of autonomous vehicles and growing awareness of automotive cybersecurity.

The vehicle intrusion detection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of electric vehicles, rising demand for over-the-air updates, stricter cybersecurity regulations, surge in autonomous vehicle deployment, need for real-time vehicle monitoring and growing investment in automotive cybersecurity startups. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-based intrusion detection, cloud-based vehicle security platforms, integration of blockchain for secure data exchange, use of digital twins for threat simulation, real-time network traffic analysis and anomaly detection using big data analytics.

The forecast of 5.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher tariffs on cybersecurity chips, intrusion detection software, and encrypted communication hardware sourced from Israel and the EU, impacting the rollout of secure connected vehicle systems.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing concerns around vehicle theft and security are expected to drive the expansion of the vehicle intrusion detection market. These concerns refer to the increasing risks associated with unauthorized access, tampering, or theft of vehicles, which present significant challenges for both individual owners and the automotive industry. The rise in vehicle theft and security issues is largely attributed to more advanced theft methods, such as keyless entry hacks and cyberattacks targeting connected car systems, which exploit vulnerabilities in modern vehicle technologies. Vehicle intrusion detection systems help address these concerns by monitoring and identifying unauthorized access or tampering with a vehicle’s systems or structure. These systems employ sensors, cameras, and software algorithms to detect suspicious activities, such as forced entry, unusual unlocking patterns, or hacking attempts, triggering alerts or preventive measures, such as engine immobilization or real-time notifications to the owner. For instance, in March 2024, the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, reported 1.02 million vehicle thefts in 2023, a 1% increase from the 1.008 million thefts recorded in 2022. As a result, rising concerns over vehicle theft and security are driving the growth of the vehicle intrusion detection market.

Leading companies in the vehicle intrusion detection market are focusing on developing cutting-edge solutions, such as Edge AI-enabled radar sensors, to improve real-time threat detection and response capabilities by processing data locally within the vehicle. This reduces latency and enhances system efficiency. Edge AI-enabled radar sensors are intelligent devices that process radar signals locally using AI algorithms, allowing for real-time detection and analysis. These sensors help vehicle intrusion detection systems accurately identify unauthorized movements or presence around or inside the vehicle, while minimizing false alarms through advanced object classification. For example, in January 2025, Texas Instruments (TI), a U.S.-based semiconductor company, launched advanced automotive chips, including the AWRL6844 radar sensor and new audio processors, aimed at improving vehicle safety and in-cabin experiences. The AWRL6844 integrates occupancy, child presence, and intrusion detection into a single AI-enabled chip, reducing system costs by $20 per vehicle. With a detection accuracy of up to 98%, it meets the Euro NCAP 2025 standards and enhances security by minimizing false alerts.

In June 2023, Continental AG, a Germany-based automotive technology company, teamed up with PlaxidityX to strengthen the cybersecurity of its telematics systems. This partnership involves integrating PlaxidityX’s intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) technology into Continental’s telematics product line to ensure robust protection against cyber threats in connected and software-defined vehicles. PlaxidityX, formerly known as Argus Cyber Security, is an Israel-based company specializing in vehicle intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS).

Vehicle intrusion detection is a security system designed to monitor, detect, and respond to unauthorized access or cyber threats within a vehicle’s internal communication network. It utilizes sensors, electronic control units (ECUs), and software algorithms to track suspicious activities such as forced entry, hacking attempts, or abnormal behavior within in-vehicle networks. This system is commonly integrated into modern connected and autonomous vehicles to improve vehicle safety by alerting users or activating protective measures.

The primary components of vehicle intrusion detection systems include hardware, software, and services. Hardware encompasses physical elements such as sensors, cameras, and control units, which allow for real-time monitoring and responses to unauthorized access or cyber threats. Vehicle intrusion detection technologies include radar-based, ultrasonic-based, infrared-based, LiDAR-based, and other advanced technologies. These systems are utilized in both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles for various applications, including active vehicle protection, remote vehicle monitoring, emergency vehicle systems, and other related functions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.
