Vehicle Intrusion Detection Market Report 2026

The vehicle intrusion detection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.9 billion in 2025 to $3.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to connected vehicle adoption, rise in vehicle hacking incidents, ecu integration growth, vehicle network complexity, regulatory focus on safety.

The vehicle intrusion detection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to cybersecurity regulations, autonomous vehicle deployment, software-defined vehicles, cloud-based security analytics, vehicle data protection. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of in-vehicle cybersecurity solutions, adoption of AI-based threat detection, integration with connected vehicle platforms, expansion of ota security updates, demand for real-time monitoring.

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).
