While sensors contribute just a fraction of the annual revenue generated by major electronics companies, sensor technology nevertheless represents a multi-billion-dollar global market.

In 2024, the largest market for haptics is in smartphones, but as the smartphone market stagnates, the industry is looking towards automotive interiors as the major opportunity for the next decade.

Although over 1.2 million on-road vehicles have thermal LWIR camera technology installed, this is 0.08% of the estimated total of 1.5 billion vehicles on roads worldwide. For LWIR cameras to fill their potential in the automotive market, drivers in regulation and innovation are a requirement.

The global commercialization of autonomous trucks in 2024 is being shaped significantly by regional regulations and government policies. To enable the growth of autonomous trucking, the U.S., Europe and China have adopted different approaches, primarily influenced by their respective regulatory environments, infrastructure development, and governmental support.
