Automotive Smart Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Surge in Safety Feature Integration in Commercial and Passenger Vehicles to Favor Market
The increasing demand for the incorporation of safety and security functions in modern vehicles is propelling the automotive smart key market at large. The rising prevalence of vehicle theft has increased the demand for upgraded systems with a unique code for unlocking the car, involving an electronic key fob recognition through a code authorization. As a result, automakers begun to use computer-encrypted microchips in their keyless system to enhance the security layers that drive market growth. The surge in hybrid and electric vehicles, equipped with technologically advanced safety and security features, has also increased the demand for smart keys. For instance, Mercedes' Keyless Go enables a driver to lock & unlock a vehicles without using the corresponding smart key buttons. As the driver enters a car with an equipped Keyless Go SmartKey card, it can turn-on and turn-off the engine without inserting the Smart Key. Technological advancements such as transmission and infrared sensors is expected to strengthen safety and security features and are expected to propel the market growth considerably during the forecast period.
Increasing Uptake of Keyless Authorization Systems in Vehicles
The demand for active and passive Keyless entry systems to lock, unlock, and start the car's engine remotely using RF signals has increased significantly. Mechanical keys restrict unauthorized access to automobiles. Modern vehicles use microcontrollers for applications such as passive keyless entry systems and vehicle immobilizer systems. Embedded electronic systems are convenient; however, system security can be breached through theft or fault in the wireless interface scanning. This factor has led to the development of an automobile keyless entry system using two-factor authentication, in which the automobile can autonomously verify the user and device-based key fob authentication framework, enabling a two-factor authentication system. The emerging trends of two-factor authentication in keyless authorization systems to prevent security breaches and hacking are boosting the global automotive smart key market. A state-of-the-art radio technology, innovative keyless system, high-precision, and interference-free key location system provide optimum safety and convenience to drivers and passengers.
