Product Outlook

Based on product, the vehicle anti-theft system market is segmented into alarm, biometric capture device, passive keyless entry, central locking system, immobilizer, and steering lock. In 2021, the central locking system segment procured a promising revenue share in the vehicle anti-theft system market. The majority of cars come equipped with a central locking mechanism, which is a convenience. Typically, turning a switch within the car allows drivers to lock and unlock all their doors from a single location. Also, it is a security system that simultaneously secures all of the car's doors. A manual or remote control key fob is typically used to power it.

Technology Outlook

On the basis of technology, the vehicle anti-theft system market is categorized into real-time location systems, automotive biometric technologies, global positioning system, remote frequency identification device and others. The remote frequency identification device segment dominated the vehicle anti-theft system market with the maximum revenue share in 2021. The automobile sector is fast using radio frequency identification (RFID) for manufacturing and combining it with other automotive technology. The demand for premium vehicles, which drives the RFID technology use for automobiles, is primarily driven by the increase in per capita income and the growth of buy power equality.

Sales Channel Outlook

By sales channel, the vehicle anti-theft system market is classified into OEM and aftermarket. The OEMs segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the vehicle anti-theft system market in 2021. By integrating key fobs with cell phones, manufacturers aim to improve their capabilities. In addition, a linked immobilizer system will offer a higher level of security. The market for vehicle anti-theft systems will thus see increased growth opportunities.

Vehicle Type Outlook

On the basis of vehicle type, the vehicle anti-theft system market is bifurcated into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In 2021, the commercial segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the vehicle anti-theft system market. This is a result of the rising truck and bus demand. In addition, as businesses use fleet management solutions to streamline their operations, the market is also seeing growth in the number of commercial vehicles. Depending on the availability of local laws & regulations relevant especially to the national basis concerning type approval requirements, immobilizers may be fitted as original equipment (OE) or aftermarket.

Regional Outlook

Region wise, the vehicle anti-theft system market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and LAMEA. The Asia Pacific region led the vehicle anti-theft system market by generating the highest revenue share in 2021.
