It is typically deployed in applications such as automotive, aerospace and defense, traffic management and monitoring, industrial, security and surveillance, environment, and weather monitoring. The radar sensor market is expected to grow from USD 5.95 Billion in 2016 to USD 20.64 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 19.51% between 2017 and 2023. North America accounted for the largest market share of ~38% in 2016. The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate of 22.58% between 2017 and 2023. The expansion of the automotive applications, particularly in cars and other vehicles, has surged the need for radar sensors, focusing on safety and security needs. Due to the increasing terrorism, there is an increasing demand for border security systems. These abovementioned factors drive the radar sensor market.

Until 2016, the radar sensor market was dominated by Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Continental AG (Germany), Denso Corporation (Japan), Delphi Automotive LLP (UK), HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co (Germany), Autoliv Inc. (Sweden), Infineon Technologies AG (Germany), Lockheed Martin Corporation (US), NXP Semiconductors N.V. (The Netherlands), and Smart Microwave Sensors GmbH (Germany). New product development and partnership, agreement, contract, and collaboration are the business strategies adopted by the top players to maintain their position in the market.
