Industry Trends and Drivers:

  • Explosive Growth in Road Safety Awareness:

The automotive industry is putting safety at the forefront for all stakeholders that are focused on safety. In April 2024, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a final rule to require almost all light-duty vehicles be equipped with automatic emergency braking (AEB) by 2029. The rule would importantly impact how complementary driver assistance systems develop. For example, adaptive cruise control uses the same sensors as AEB systems. According to World Health Organization data, there are approximately 1.19 million road deaths per year and 3% of a country's GDP is spent on road accidents. There is a great deal of pressure on manufacturers and engineers to produce advanced ACC systems to combat the road safety issue of rear-end collisions and the growing dilemma of increasing driver fatigue. Consumers expect their vehicles to assist them in high pressure, heavily trafficked and difficult situations as required.

  • Revolutionary Sensor Technology Breakthroughs:

The next generation of adaptive cruise control will begin to incorporate new sensor technologies. Audi of America unveiled improved Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go systems available on the Q5, A6 and e-tron where new forward-facing cameras and radar units allow the system to regulate vehicle speed and distance. These systems would allow for more precise measurement of distance and relative speed of other vehicles around it. In February 2025, General Motors announced that it had purchased the remainder of its self-driving subsidiary Cruise, with the intention of integrating the Cruise autonomous vehicle software into its GM Super Cruise concept on a larger scale across North America. In addition, AI and machine learning are used to predict traffic conditions and to calculate speed changes in real time, which increases the performance and reliability of ACC systems in all driving conditions.

  • Massive Regulatory Push for Vehicle Safety:

Recent regulatory mandates have also pushed automotive safety in a more stringent direction. For example, in the European Union, the implementation deadline for emergency braking systems in new EU car models was May 2022 and became mandatory in all new car models in May 2024. This is an important business opportunity for ACC system suppliers, with the standards working as a barrier to entry. In June 2024 the US Department of Transportation awarded approximately USD 60 million to the states of Arizona, Texas and Utah to develop connected vehicle systems, including vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems that complement and extend ADAS capabilities. The applications are being driven by regulatory concerns in developed markets, where safety agencies are promoting technology to reduce crashes, and in commercial fleets, where downtime associated with accidents makes a compelling case for better safety performance and more advanced vehicle specification.

  • Surging Adoption in Emerging Markets Signals Global Expansion

The ACC market growth in emerging countries is phenomenal, for example, ADAS vehicle penetration rate in India increased to 8.3% in H1 2025. The number of vehicle variants featuring ADAS launched in H1 2025 was 434 vs 241 in H1 2024, reflecting an increase of 80.1% YoY, mainly driven by changing consumer perspectives and increasing disposable income in emerging markets. Mahindra has now emerged as the fastest scaler in India with a 28% penetration with the launch of the Thar ROXX to the XUV 3XO mass-market SUVs. ACC technology has now been democratized from the luxury segment to mid-segment and economical cars as a standard or optional feature. The size of the Indian ADAS market increased from an estimated INR 150 Crore in 2019 to INR 300 Crore in 2023 with the adaptive cruise control sub-segment comprising 35% of the overall market. What is now known as ACC moved from being a premium offering to a minimum requirement, changing the dynamics of the global automotive segment.
