A series of new reports show consensus view of several market research firms is that the global advanced driver assistance system market will see explosive growth in the coming decade.
One report, published by the Ireland-based Research and Markets on Jan. 28, 2026, projects the market will grow to US$94.94 billion by 2033 from US$35.44 billion in 2025, a compound annual growth rate of 13.11%. The report cites rising demand for vehicle safety systems, increased automation and wider consumer adoption of driver assistance features.
Another from the U.S.-based Future Market Insights published on Dec. 31, 2025 forecasting the market will grow from US$280.5 million in 2026 to US$818.2 million by 2036, a compound annual growth rate of 11.3%.
The firm linked this growth to increasing system complexity and stricter safety and regulatory requirements.
Despite the projected growth, there are also worrying signs about the North American collision repair sector's ability to operate in a world with more and more ADAS-equipped vehicles. Last month, Revv, an American ADAS workflow software provider, published an industry benchmark report based on a survey of 300 North American repair facilities. It found 86% of shops now perform some ADAS calibrations in-house, but only 21% report having a fully optimized process.
“ADAS calibration has quickly become a critical part of modern vehicle repair,” said Adi Bathla, CEO and co-founder of Revv, in a Jan. 12 announcement tied to the launch of the United ADAS Collective. “The category is maturing rapidly as shops recognize calibration is no longer optional.”
Industry groups add ADAS growth is reinforcing broader trends in the automotive aftermarket. “There’s a lot of private capital flowing into the automotive aftermarket,” said Liz Goad, vice-president of events at MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, in a Jan. 24 industry release.
“It’s widely seen as recession resistant because vehicle repairs and maintenance are a necessity to keep vehicles operating safely.”
