Automotive gesture recognition systems are sophisticated driver assistance technologies that allow drivers and passengers to operate a vehicle's infotainment and control systems using simple hand movements or gestures, eliminating the need for physical contact. These systems employ sensors, cameras, and software algorithms to detect, interpret, and respond to specific gestures. They mark a significant advancement towards creating more interactive, user-friendly, and safer vehicle environments.
Automotive gesture recognition systems primarily consist of touch-based and touchless systems. Touch-based systems require the user to physically interact with a sensor or surface to register gestures and control vehicle functions. Authentication methods include hand, fingerprint, and leg recognition, as well as facial recognition, vision, and iris recognition. These systems are implemented in various types of vehicles, including passenger and commercial vehicles, and are used in applications such as multimedia, infotainment, navigation, and lighting systems.
The automotive gesture recognition systems market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automotive gesture recognition systems market statistics, including automotive gesture recognition systems industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an automotive gesture recognition systems market share, detailed automotive gesture recognition systems market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automotive gesture recognition systems industry. This automotive gesture recognition systems research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The automotive gesture recognition systems market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.05 billion in 2024 to $2.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features, increase in using time-of-flight (TOF) sensors, rising in-vehicle infotainment systems, increase in fuel efficiency, and increase in vehicle production.
The automotive gesture recognition systems market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing road accidents, increasing vision-based systems, rising high-end luxury cars, growing demand for automation, and increasing demand for convenient human-machine interfaces (HMI) in vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include smart technology features in vehicles, developing touch-and-swipe hand gesture control system, integration with internet of things (IoT) devices, technological advances in electric and self-driving vehicles, and implementing biometric iris recognition.
The growing number of road accidents is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive gesture recognition systems market in the coming years. The rise in road accidents can be attributed to factors such as inadequate signage, poor lighting, increased vehicle ownership, and human errors like speeding and reckless driving. Automotive gesture recognition systems contribute to reducing road accidents by enabling drivers to control in-car functions without taking their eyes off the road or hands off the wheel. This enhances driver safety and minimizes distractions from interacting with touchscreens, buttons, or dials. For example, in 2023, the Transport Accident Commission, an Australian government agency, reported that 295 people lost their lives on Victorian roads, a 22.4% increase (54 more fatalities) compared to 2022. Additionally, there were 261 fatal crashes, a rise of 22 (9%) from the previous year. Therefore, the increasing number of road accidents is fueling the growth of the automotive gesture recognition systems market.
Leading companies in the automotive gesture recognition systems market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions such as contactless gesture controls to enhance vehicle functionality. These touchless controls allow users to interact with vehicle systems through hand movements without physical contact. They use sensors and cameras to detect and interpret gestures, enabling drivers to manage functions such as infotainment, radio, navigation, and climate settings smoothly and safely. For instance, STMicroelectronics, a semiconductor company based in Switzerland, introduced STGesture in April 2022. This touchless gesture control solution includes free engineering software and a gesture-recognition engine that facilitates intuitive interactions with various devices. It features control over infotainment systems and climate settings without physical touch, reducing driver distraction and improving safety.
In February 2022, Harman International, a US-based automotive technology company, acquired Apostera for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allowed Harman to broaden its automotive product range and lead in automotive augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) experience design. Apostera, a Germany-based firm, specializes in mixed reality solutions for vehicles, including advanced gesture recognition systems.
