Automotive Night Vision System Market Trends

Increased safety awareness to boost market growth

One of the major concerns across the globe is automotive safety. The major reason that leads to many accidents in passenger cars, causing loss of lives, especially during nighttime, is poor light conditions on the road. For this reason, automotive original equipment manufacturers have started providing active safety systems as a standard fitment, majorly in premium cars. This is due to the increase in awareness about the need for safety systems and the prevention of collisions by alerting the driver.

Night vision systems provide increased safety and help reduce collisions. Therefore, the increase in safety awareness among customers is driving the growth of the automotive night vision systems market. An automotive night vision system improves drivers' perception in low light and bad weather conditions. The system also enables the driver to view a path that is beyond the reach of the vehicle’s headlight. Thus, the use of night vision systems in automobiles can help prevent a lot of accidents.

In addition, rise in sales of premium cars is another factor driving the growth of the automotive night vision system market revenue.
