The incorporation of high-resolution radar sensors instantly improves vehicle safety, efficiency, and performance, which makes it an attractive investment for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), personal vehicles are expected to benefit primarily from advanced driver-assistance features rather than full autonomy, with L2 and L2+ technologies projected to dominate new car sales by 2030. This widespread adoption of partially automated systems increases the demand for 4D imaging radar, which provides accurate detection, classification, and tracking of vehicles, pedestrians, and other road users in real time.

Also, by 2035, fleets of robotaxis will operate at scale in 40 to 80 cities. China and the U.S. will lead in deployment, and Europe and the Middle East are further driving additional opportunities.  This installation will improve 24-hour operation, which it can lead to efficiency. The non-availability of drivers can be solved, and the automated vehicles can reduce the total cost of ownership. In commercial trucking, mid-distance hub-to-hub routes in the U.S. are projected to account for nearly 30% of new truck sales by 2035.  

Market Opportunity:

Incorporation of 4D imaging radar into factory automation, warehouse navigation, and collaborative robotics is expected to contribute substantial revenue growth over the projected period. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), global robot density in factories reached a record 162 units per 10,000 employees in 2023, more than double the 74 units recorded just seven years earlier.

4D imaging radar offers environmental perception that enables robots to operate safely alongside human workers and navigate complex warehouse layouts with high precision. These capabilities reduce breakdowns, lower operational risks, and improve return on investment for manufacturers. This trend will enhance the competitive advantage of robotics-enabled firms, while simultaneously expanding revenue streams for radar solution providers.

Technological Trends:

The integration of MIMO radar architecture into 4D imaging is emerging as a major trend in the 4D imaging radar market. 4D-imaging millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars are playing a critical role in Highly Automated Driving (HAD) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This helps in delivering precise range, angle, elevation, and velocity information to improve on-road safety. Traditional high-resolution radars highly rely on physically dense antenna arrays, which can drive up sensor size and cost.

MIMO offers a smarter alternative by combining multiple transmit and receive channels in virtual configurations. Engineers can emulate hundreds of antenna elements, sometimes exceeding 500 in an effective planar array without replicating the same number of physical components. This approach broadens the field of view, enhances angular resolution, and lowers the per-unit cost of manufacturing. Globally, automotive companies are adopting MIMO-enabled 4D radar sensors to meet tighter safety regulations and consumer demand for premium ADAS features.

Restraints & Challenges:

Procurement of critical components and materials is expected to hinder the revenue growth of the market over the forecast period. 4D imaging radars consist of several critical components, which are manufactured and sourced from different countries. Due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, countries are restricting the export of critical minerals, which are used in manufacturing these components.

For instance, in December 2023, China imposed a ban on allium, germanium, and antimony exports to the United States. According to the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), China accounts for approximately 98% of the global supply of raw gallium. In response, companies are facing significant challenges in the supply chain of components, which could impact overall manufacturing costs.
