Global Automotive Gesture Recognition System Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component (Touchless Systems, and Touch Based Systems), By Application, By Authentication Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030


The Global Automotive Gesture Recognition System Market size is expected to reach $4.8 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 18.0% CAGR during the forecast period.

The region has a strong focus on safety features and driver assistance technologies. Users in North America appreciate the convenience of gesture-based controls for multimedia and navigation, contributing to increased adoption. Therefore, the North America region captured $385.3 million revenue in the market in 2022. Urban centres in North America are often hubs of technology and innovation. There is a continuous influx of investments in automotive technology in North America. Some of the factors impacting the market are rise of autonomous and electric vehicles, advancements in sensor and camera technologies, and high cost and affordability of automotive gesture recognition systems.

The increasing popularity of autonomous and electric vehicles. Gesture recognition systems complement the futuristic image of autonomous vehicles, providing users with intuitive ways to interact with self-driving features. Autonomous vehicles often feature minimalist interior designs with fewer physical controls. Gesture recognition systems replace traditional buttons and switches, providing a sleek and clutter-free interior while maintaining user control over vehicle functions. Additionally, continuous advancements in sensor and camera technologies. Improved sensor technologies enable more accurate and responsive gesture recognition, enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of these systems in automotive applications. Improved depth sensing allows gesture recognition systems to capture subtle gestures and differentiate between various hand positions, expanding the range of gestures that can be recognized. Advancements in sensor and camera technologies have been a pivotal factor in driving the growth of the market.

However, High costs may delay the integration of gesture recognition in aftermarket solutions for existing vehicles. Retrofitting older vehicles with gesture recognition systems may be economically challenging, limiting the aftermarket potential for this technology. The complexity of sourcing and integrating gesture recognition components can contribute to higher manufacturing costs. Automakers may face challenges optimizing their supply chain for cost efficiency, leading to increased production costs. Manufacturers may face challenges demonstrating a clear return on investment (ROI) for implementing gesture recognition systems. Thus, cost and affordability can slow down the growth of the automotive gesture recognition system market.

Component Outlook

By component, the market is categorized into touch-based systems and touchless systems. In 2022, the touchless systems segment held the highest revenue share in the market. Touchless systems provide an intuitive and natural way for users to interact with in-car features. These technologies mimic hand motions naturally and provide an intuitive, easy-to-learn interface that improves the driving experience overall. Many touchless systems can be integrated with other input modalities, such as voice recognition and touchscreens, creating a multimodal interaction experience.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the market is divided into multimedia/infotainment/navigation, lighting systems, and others. The lighting systems segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. Lighting systems can be integrated into specific areas of the vehicle interior to create illuminated gesture zones. These zones indicate where gestures can be recognized and executed. Gesture recognition systems can be linked to customizable ambient lighting features. Users can associate specific gestures with changes in ambient lighting colors or intensity.

Authentication Type Outlook

Based on authentication type, the market is classified into hand/finger print/leg recognition, facial recognition, vision/IRIS recognition, and others. In 2022, the hand/finger print/leg recognition segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the market. Hand recognition technologies enable the creation of personalized user profiles based on the unique characteristics of an individual's hand or fingers. This can include preferences for seat positions, climate control settings, and entertainment options.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Europe region led the market by generating the highest revenue share. Europe has high-end vehicles, and the integration of advanced features, such as gesture controls, adds to the appeal of these vehicles, driving adoption in the region. Europe has witnessed a growing electric vehicles industry. European automakers often collaborate with technology providers and start-ups specializing in gesture recognition technology.
