ADAS and the Aftermarket: How to Capture the Growth Opportunity

Most new vehicles—both light-duty and commercial—are now equipped with ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.  

As any new vehicle technology expands, the aftermarket opportunity follows. For component suppliers, distributors, retailers, and repair facilities, the numbers are eye-popping: 

• The U.S. ADAS calibration equipment market will triple by 2033 
• The U.S. ADAS parts replacement market is growing at 17% annually  

But rapid growth and complexity are creating challenges. There are several different types of ADAS, both active and passive. ADAS systems employ different types of technologies. There are no standard specifications. There are multiple calibration procedures, all with different benefits and drawbacks 

How can aftermarket businesses manage this complexity and take advantage of ADAS market growth? 

How will industry standards and government regulations change to ensure ADAS are properly maintained and driver safety is prioritized?
