An automotive wheel speed sensor (WSS), also known as a vehicle speed sensor (VSS), measures the speed of the wheels and the direction of rotation of cars. It provides input to different automotive systems, including the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) using electrical signals. It is installed directly above the pulse wheel, which is connected to the wheel hub or the driveshaft. It helps ensure proper driving dynamics, lower fuel consumption, and reduce gas emissions. At present, the automotive WSS finds extensive applications in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) across the globe.

Automotive Wheel Speed Sensor Market Trends:

The increasing utilization of electric vehicles (EVs), in confluence with significant growth in the automotive sector, represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the rising road traffic presents numerous challenges to the drivers, and consequently, there is a rise in the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that optimize safety on the road. Automotive WSS is used in ADAS systems, such as ABS, traction control systems (TCS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), and motor control units (MCU), to determine the wheel speed. Besides this, the optimal interaction of these electronic systems ensures the fault-free function of the vehicle and improves traffic security. Apart from this, governing authorities of numerous countries are mandating the integration of ABS in automotive vehicles, which is facilitating the growth of the market. Other factors, such as the increasing sales of passenger cars around the world and rising improvements in the performance, materials, mechanics, engines and fuels, aerodynamics, and autonomous control in automotive vehicles, are projected to stimulate the market growth.
