  • The government's increased attention on road safety is projected to stimulate industry expansion.

Increased government efforts to address road accidents are anticipated to ignite substantial growth in the automotive camera market. With stricter regulations requiring features such as rearview cameras and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), there will be a notable uptick in camera installations per vehicle. This trend, combined with escalating consumer interest in safety features, is forecasted to propel the market towards significant expansion. Consequently, investments are poised to escalate, with analysts foreseeing a CAGR of approximately 12.5%.

RESTRAINTS:

  • The increased overall cost of vehicles as a result of upgraded safety measures may stifle the multi-camera system market's growth.

  • If the system's cameras are broken, the consumer would have to replace the entire multi-camera system, which will be quite expensive.

Nevertheless, the expansion can become problematic for consumers due to a design flaw. Non-modular camera systems necessitate replacing the entire unit if one camera malfunctions, proving to be costly. For instance, in a standard setup with four cameras priced at $100 each, replacing the entire system would result in a 300% cost surge, amounting to an extra $300. This underscores the significance of modular camera designs, which facilitate individual camera replacement, thereby lowering repair expenses for consumers.

OPPORTUNITIES:

  • The growing popularity of these semi-autonomous functions opens up a huge market for automobile cameras.

  • Due to the developing trend, camera systems that can deliver a variety of advanced features have a lucrative market.       

CHALLENGES:

  • Rising car prices, along with high design and testing expenses, are likely to provide a significant impediment to market expansion.

  • The multi-camera system has a hard time separating different perspectives from many camera inputs & displaying them in real-time.

  • Combining & converting the data into a single image has a high risk of degrading the quality of the image.

IMPACT OF RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR:

The disruption in Ukraine, a major supplier of wiring harnesses crucial for connecting cameras to car electronics, has triggered production slowdowns and part shortages. LMC Automotive predicts a global vehicle production decrease of 400,000 units in 2022 as a result. Costs are on the rise due to sanctions and logistical challenges, leading to spikes in neon and palladium prices, essential materials for camera image sensors. This, in turn, increases the costs of camera components for manufacturers. Consumer preferences are shifting amidst inflation and escalating fuel prices, potentially favoring smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles. These models typically feature fewer cameras compared to luxury counterparts, which could impact the high-end camera segment. Governments are taking steps to address the crisis. The US is exploring alternative sources for wiring harnesses, while the EU is concentrating on diversifying its semiconductor supply chain. Nevertheless, implementing these solutions requires time.

IMPACT OF ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN:

Economic downturns typically lead to consumers postponing discretionary purchases, such as new cars. Consequently, there would be a direct reduction in the number of vehicles equipped with cameras, resulting in decreased market demand. For instance, during the Great Recession in 2009, global vehicle sales dropped by 16%, according to data from IHS Markit. A similar trend could be anticipated in future economic slowdowns. Economic strain may prompt consumers to opt for base models when purchasing new vehicles, foregoing advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that often rely on cameras. This would lead to diminished demand for high-resolution and sophisticated camera technologies. Tier 1 suppliers, responsible for manufacturing components such as automotive cameras for carmakers, may experience production cuts and order cancellations as automakers adjust to lower demand. This would create significant challenges for suppliers in managing their operations and maintaining profitability.

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
