The slump induced by the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be way in the past, as automotive sales around the world have risen to 35,603,479 units in the first half of 2021, compared to 27,799,942 units during the same period last year, says Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA). This is driven by the strong desire of people to own a vehicle for practical purposes and to show off their social status. However, with the continuous rise in the number of vehicles on the roads, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are also rising. This is why P&S Intelligence has forecast huge growth for the automotive alloy market in the years to come . As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the transport sector was responsible for 8.5 Gigatons of GHG emissions in 2019. Therefore, governments around the world are taking numerous measures to clean up the transport system, such as implementing stringent emission regulations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ...

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the annual mortality associated with road accidents at 1.35 million at least. It is common knowledge that humans are themselves responsible for most such mishaps, by over-speeding, not keeping their eyes on the road, or talking on the phone while driving. This is why several countries in Europe and the two in North America are mandating the installation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that can aid the human drivers and reduce the likelihood of a road crash. As per P&S Intelligence, the increasing focus on making roads and vehicles safer will help in the growth of the automotive ultrasonic sensors market from $3,461.9 million in 2019 to $6,096.2 million in 2030, at a 5.1% CAGR between 2020 and 2030. This is because several types of ADASs, such as blind spot detection systems and self-parking systems, depend on ultrasonic sensors to determine the distance between the vehicle and another object. Moreover, with the increasing d...
