Trailer Assist System Market by Technology (Semi-Autonomous (L3), Autonomous (L4, L5)), Component (Camera/Sensor, Software Module), Vehicle (Passenger Cars, LCV, and Trucks), User (OEM Fitted & Aftermarket), and Region - Global Forecast to 2027
[116 Pages Report] The trailer assist system market is projected to reach USD 182 million by 2027 from an estimated USD 82 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. The demand for safety and comfort has always been a prime preference in vehicles. With the increase in sales of passenger cars and LCVs, consumers are increasingly demanding comfort and safety for these vehicle segments. Due to the inefficiency of drivers, many accidents happen during the parking of a vehicle. Parking a vehicle attached with a trailer is a challenging task even for trained drivers. Driver errors can be minimized by providing driving assistance to the vehicle. The trailer assist works on the principle of park-assist that helps the driver to park or reverse a vehicle into a parking lane or a tight spot with a trailer towed at the rear. This system helps in saving time while reversing and provides safety and comfort to the driver.
Passenger cars segment is estimated to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period.
The passenger cars segment is expected to be the fastest growing market over the forecast period. Currently, the market is mostly limited to passenger cars only, and there are very few OEMs providing trailer assist system in LCVs, which includes Ford and Volkswagen. The trailer assist system that is available in trucks has different functioning from passenger cars and LCVs as it supports truck movement during reversing operations by detecting small, large, static and moving objects in the blind spot behind the vehicle and automatically brakes. It does not automatically steer the truck as it does in passenger cars and LCVs.
The North American market is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.
The North American market is expected to witness the fastest growth, followed by Western Europe and Eastern Europe. The trailer assist system market in Canada is estimated to grow at a good pace over the next eight years. In Canada, various OEMs such as Ford and Land Rover are providing trailer assist system in vehicles as an optional feature. Increasing safety awareness among consumers, rise in the demand for a safe, efficient, & convenient driving experience and increase usage of towing trailers will drive the Canadian market which in turn will drive the demand for trailer assist system in the North American region.
Western Europe is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
Western Europe is expected to be the largest market, followed by North America. Germany is the largest market for trailer assist system globally. The sales of luxury car vehicle in Germany is high also there is a demand for towing trailers, which makes the country highest growing and largest market, globally. Luxury vehicle manufacturers like Volkswagen, Land Rover, Audi Mercedes Benz, Bentley, and Skoda are providing trailer assist feature in the country. Majority of the tier-1 companies providing trailer assist systems headquartered in Germany include Continental, Bosch, and Westfalia, which is a significant driver of this market in Germany. Westfalia and Audi, in cooperation, have developed the trailer assist system called Towing Assistant (abbreviated TTA), a swiveling tow bar with a combined mechanical and electronic solution that measures the angle of the tow bar between the towing vehicle and the trailer. The system has its debut on the new Audi Q7.
Key Market Players
The trailer assist system market was dominated by major players such as Continental (Germany), Bosch (Germany), Magna (Canada), WABCO (Belgium), and Westfalia (Germany). These companies have strong distribution networks at a global level. Also, these companies offer an extensive product range in this market. These companies adopt strategies such as new product developments, collaborations, and contracts & agreements to sustain their market position.

Recent Developments
-
In January 2019, Valeo unveiled its Valeo XTRAVUE trailer, the invisible trailer system at CES 2019. The system uses video images captured from cameras located at the rear of both the vehicle and the trailer or caravan. It combines them into a single homogeneous image, allowing the driver to see, on a small screen right in front of him, everything happening behind the vehicle, rendering the trailer invisible.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the trailer assist system market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across value chains through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approach was employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [such as publications of automotive OEMs, Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), country-level automotive associations and trade organizations, and the US Department of Transportation (DOT)], magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, and technical articles have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global trailer assist system market.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and component manufacturers across four major regions, namely, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. Approximately 23% and 77% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand- and supply-side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, LinkedIn, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.
