To become the global leader in the autonomous driving market, the Chinese government has paved the way for its automotive industry to leapfrog and develop autonomous solutions within the country. This has resulted in domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) developing innovative features such as navigate-on-pilot and other L3/L4 solutions. The development has helped OEMs offer higher ADAS levels in their models while international players offer more mature L1 and L2 solutions.
To tackle this challenge, global OEMs and tier suppliers are formulating new strategies and looking to collaborate with local participants to stay competitive. On the regulatory front, while developed international markets continue to promulgate policies and standards, the Chinese market has been very slow in regulating and adopting the framework. This has hampered the ADAS market growth. The real driving force behind this market is the competition between the local and international car makers seeking to provide superior comfort and convenience.
With 2023–2030 as the study period, the base year is 2023 and the forecast period is 2024–2030. This forecast takes place at the feature level. Frost & Sullivan segments the analysis by level and their corresponding features as follows:
• L0: Blind spot detection, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, front cross traffic alert, rear cross traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition
• L1: Adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane keep assist
• L2: Highway assist (HA) and automated parking assist II
• L2+: HA and city assist

The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Chinese Advanced Driver-assistance System ADAS Industry Competitive Intensity
-
Why
-
Several new-age original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have entered the market with feature-rich cars, prompting other OEMs to offer additional features to stay competitive.
-
-
Frost Perspective
-
OEMs are looking to create niches for themselves and are offering innovative solutions in terms of functionality, interiors, features, and overall value. Several OEMs have launched, or are launching, Level 2 (L2+) ADASs.
-
Disruptive Technologies
-
Why
-
Automotive development is shifting from creating hardware-defined products to software-defined products thanks to the emergence of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
-
-
Frost Perspective
-
SDVs allow OEMs to decouple hardware and software and standardize hardware, while allowing them to implement over-the-air updates during a vehicle’s lifetime.
-
This development will enable OEMs to offer additional ADAS features while using the same hardware.
-
Transformative Megatrends
-
Why
-
Connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) convergence is sweeping the automotive industry. The resultant shift in market dynamics is making CASE vehicles a Mega Trend.
-
-
Frost Perspective
-
OEMs are looking to produce cars that conform to the CASE Mega Trend, driving them to build cars that offer comfort and convenient features, including ADAS, automated driving systems, and connectivity. New vehicles will offer ADAS and connectivity features.
-
Scope of Analysis
-
The Chinese ADAS market is growing, with many OEMs providing Level 0 (L0) and Level 1 (L1) ADAS features as options in most of their models.
-
The market for Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) is growing, with some Chinese OEMs offering it under their trademark names.
-
Competitive intensity will drive ADAS introduction in mass-market vehicles, and later to vehicles in lower segments.
