Study: Global ADAS Market Project to Reach $57 Billion by 2030
Advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) will be a strong market sector for the remainder of the decade, with a forecasted CAGR of 18% annually through 2030.
A recent study published by Straits Research forecasts a huge upsurge in demand for advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) through the remainder of the decade. Currently valued at $12.7 billion, the global ADAS market is expected to surpass $57 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 18%, as originally reported by Aftermarket News. Increases in consumer demand combined with more disposable income, greater adoption by OE manufacturers and more stringent government mandates were all cited as contributing factors.
Among the three major regions cited in the study—North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific—North America has the biggest global market share, with 37.1% in 2021, though the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at a more rapid rate over the course of the decade. This is due in part to the fact that the region is home to a number of Tier-1 suppliers of ADAS components for OE manufacturers with assembly facilities in the region, most notably GM and Volkswagen Group.
Other factors cited as contributing to the expansion of the ADAS market included increased levels of urbanization and increases in traffic accidents. More than 1.3 million people are killed in vehicle accidents each year, and ADAS can help reduce the frequency and severity of road accidents and increase safety levels for motorists and pedestrians alike.

Truck Hero Rebrands, Now to be Known as RealTruck
Now rebranded as RealTruck, the Truck Hero organization employs more than 5,000 people in more than 35 locations across North America.
RealTruck, the online retailer of aftermarket truck parts and accessories, will become the new name of the Truck Hero organization, effective immediately.
RealTruck.com has operated as Truck Hero’s e-commerce arm and consumer brand since 2015. As truck owners’ preferences and purchase patterns evolve, the name change reinforces the company’s commitment to grow consumer awareness and interest in the truck accessories category and to continue to deliver exceptional value and experiences to consumers. This, in turn, will benefit the company’s dealer and installer partners.
“When we started the company nearly 20 years ago, we were a small manufacturer of truck-bed covers with approximately 180 employees,” said Bill Reminder, founder and CEO. “Over the years, we grew Truck Hero into one of the most respected names in the aftermarket industry with more than 5,000 employees and 35 locations across North America. Our journey and success continue today as RealTruck. This important and exciting milestone supports our long-term growth strategy, ongoing commitment to product innovation, and alignment with the way consumers now learn about and purchase their truck, Jeep and off-road accessories.”
