Automotive Night Vision System Market – By Product

The stride towards autonomous vehicles will drive the use of passive systems in the global automotive night vision system market

The global automotive night vision system market by product is classified into active night vision systems and passive night vision systems. Passive systems segment dominated the total market share in 2018, growing at a CAGR of around 15% during the forecast period. The growing demand for ADAS systems is driving the need for passive systems in the global market. These systems use thermographic cameras to detect objects, and these cameras work on the principle of thermal radiation detection, which helps them to differentiate between a living and non-living object. The non-requirement any additional source to illuminate the objects will boost the revenues in the global market. Various advantages of passive systems such as increased night visibility, improved visibility in rain and fog, and no dazzle from headlights of the oncoming vehicles will fuel the use of these products in the global automotive night vision system market over the next few years.

The active system uses infrared light sources which don’t cause a distraction for oncoming drivers at night as the infrared band falls outside the visible spectrum. The visual data of these systems are captured on special cameras and relayed to the output monitors, HMI, and infotainment systems. The better quality of images from these systems will fuel the growth of this segment in the global automotive night vision system market.

Automotive Night Vision System Market – By Technology

The adoption of infrared illumination will propel the need for near-infrared (NIR) in the global automotive night vision system market
