An ultrasonic park assist sensor is a speaker or microphone that emits or absorbs ultrasound. There is also a mechanism for controlling emissions and reception. This type of sensor is installed in parking sensors. Ultrasound sensors were initially used in automobiles to detect parking barriers, but they are now being developed into an automated parking system. Sonar is used by parking sensors. The term ‘sonar' is an acronym for sound navigation and radar; it is used to determine the distance and/or position of an object from the time a sound wave passes to the target and back. In the case of the rear sonar, two to four ultrasonic sensors are mounted on the rear bumper to detect an object up to 2 to 2.5 m away. The distance is communicated to the driver in real time via varying buzzer sounds. If you get close enough, it can even trace a wire fence.
The global ultrasonic park assist sensor market is segmented on the basis of type, vehicle autonomy, vehicle type, application, and region. Based on type, the market is divided into range measurement and proximity detection. In terms of vehicle autonomy, the market is categorized into semi-autonomous vehicle and fully-autonomous vehicle. On the basis of vehicle type, the market is divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. On the basis of application, the market is divided into self-parking, park assist, blind spot detection and others. Geographically, the market is analyzed across several regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).
Key players operating in the global ultrasonic park assist sensor industry include Texas Instruments Inc, Elmos Semiconductor AG, Baumer Holding AG, Honeywell International Inc, TE Connectivity Ltd, TDK Corp, Magna International Inc, Autoliv Inc. These companies have adopted several strategies such as product launches, partnerships, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to strengthen their foothold in the global ultrasonic park assist sensor market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Since December 2019, the COVID-19 virus has been impacting businesses around the world. The constant rise in the number of virus-infected people has prompted governments to impose restrictions on people and commercial traffic. The implementation of a series of regulations by various governments to address the COVID-19 crisis, such as the complete shutdown of manufacturing units, has been found to have a direct impact on the development of the automotive ultrasonic park assist sensor market share.
Top Impacting Factors
One factor that is expected to drive the demand for ultrasonic park assist sensor market size in the coming years is an increase in customer demand for safety and comfort in cars. When the transmitter installed in one car uses a certain frequency channel that overlaps with the same frequency channel used by the other car, the receiving signal at each other's receivers may be corrupted due to signal interference, which is considered as a restraining factor for the ultrasonic park assist sensor market growth.
Market Trends
New Product Launches to Flourish the Market
In October 2020, Robert Bosch LLC, a German multinational engineering and technology company, released its new advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and body electronics catalogue. This new catalogue, available in ACES format, provides improved visibility, faster and more accurate information, and access to application data and images for over 230 ADAS and body electronics parts. It has several features such as park pilot ultrasonic parking sensors, which are simple-to-install sensors that detect the presence of an object around a vehicle, wheel speed sensors which are an important component of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) that transmits wheel speed data to various modules to determine safe braking and traction control and engine cooling fan, a critical component of a vehicle's cooling system that provides enough flow at idle to keep the vehicle from overheating while stuck in traffic.
Surge in Usage in Automobile Sector
Parking sensors are proximity sensors that are used in automobiles to allow the driver to safely park the vehicle. They are Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which alert the driver to any obstacles and are proving to be especially useful as parking spaces become scarce and the number of vehicles on the road increases. The average car's dimensions have been changing, making it more difficult to park without causing physical damage to the vehicle. Furthermore, parking sensors improve safety and can protect pedestrians from injury. Parking sensors are expected to see increased demand in the coming years as they can detect children, other vehicles, walls, pillars, fences, and other objects that are normally obscured from view. According to the Department of Transportation, a significant percentage of accidents happen while the vehicle is in reverse gear. Parking sensors, which are installed in the vehicle's rear bumper bar, can help to reduce these to a large extent. They can be color-coordinated with the exterior to maintain the vehicle's aesthetic value. They work in tandem with an internal buzzer or siren, the frequency of which gradually increases as the vehicle approaches an object. An optional LCD display that shows the distance between the vehicle and the object is also available. This serves as an effective warning to the driver, potentially preventing an accident. Typically, two or four sensors, as well as an internal siren and a control interface are used. Six or eight sensor systems, wired or wireless, may also be used for greater coverage.
