Automotive Camera Cleaning System Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Vehicle Type, By Application, By Nozzle Type, By Sales Channel, By Region And Segment Forecasts, 2023 To 2030

An automotive camera cleaning system is used to clean dust, ice, and mist present on the lens of the vehicle cameras. Cameras placed at the front and rear sides of the automobile play an important role in terms of information gathering in pictorial and video formats. These cameras get covered with dust, and water droplets and are required to clean in a timely manner. With the development of automatic driving systems, the automotive camera cleaning system is expected to witness huge growth as cleaning the camera lenses is absolutely necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the automatic driving system.

The automotive camera cleaning system work with the integration of sensors & pumps, and control unit & spray nozzles. Due to this the initial installment costs and maintenance costs of these automotive camera cleaning systems are high. 

Travelers’ safety is the most prominent consideration while designing any vehicle, particularly passenger vehicles. The advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) deployed by various international carmakers in passenger vehicles has increased vehicle safety. This camera-based vehicle driver assistance technology not only helps to identify the black spots but also keeps the vehicle in the lane. The research shows that adoption of ADAS will increase in the near future and automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are more likely to adopt the camera-assisted driving measures.

Most of the passenger car manufacturers are deploying ADAS system to improve the customer experience. The ADAS system helps drivers to respond quickly to the potential traffic hazards. This system cannot work efficiently without the automotive camera cleaning system. Apart from that, for commercial vehicles there is a significant growth in the compact, modular, multi sensing solution for safe driving. Hence growth in the passenger car and innovation in commercial vehicle safety systems is further expected to improve the demand for the automotive camera cleaning system in the coming years.

With the increase in transport automation, there are continuous innovations observed in camera technology. The cleaning requirements for passenger cars and commercial vehicles are completely different as the operating conditions are different. Hence based on the applications and requirements the design and complexity of the automotive camera cleaning system are subject to change.

The market is at a nascent stage. There are less number of players operating in the market. Thus, the inter-category rivalry in the market is not high. As there is no alternative solution present in the market for the automotive camera cleaning system the threat of substitutes is expected low.

The impact of COVID-19 on the automotive sector was substantially observed on the negative side. In 2021, governments across the globe have adopted economic measures like changes in fiscal and monetary policies to strengthen the automotive sector. For instance, according to a February 2021 news by Economic Times, the Indian government announced to acquire over 20,000 buses under public private partnership (PPP), and investment in road infrastructure projects. Along with that, in 2023 union budget government has announced to reduce the customs duties and tax rebates which will push the automobile sector by reducing the price of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

In April 2021, Denso Corporation developed ADAS products for Toyota Mirai and New Lexus LS. It has used light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology for detecting the shapes of surrounding vehicles and roads with the help of a locator telescopic camera. In April 2023, Ficosa International SA announced to manufacture over 7 million cameras for vehicles during 2023. It will include both in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle cameras.
