[191 Pages Report] The Automotive eCall Market size was estimated at USD 5.54 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 6.19 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 12.43% to reach USD 12.60 billion by 2030.
eCall is an emergency call system specifically designed for the automotive industry to enhance road safety and minimize response times during accidents. It is a European Union (EU) initiative that became mandatory for all new cars and light-duty vehicles sold within the EU in April 2018. The system automatically dials the European emergency number 112 when a severe accident occurs, enabling faster response from emergency services. The primary objective of eCall is to significantly reduce the time taken by rescue services to arrive at the accident location. eCall functions using advanced sensors integrated into vehicles that detect sudden changes in motion or impact, such as those caused by a collision. eCall establishes a voice connection with the nearest emergency call center while simultaneously transmitting crucial data such as GPS location, vehicle identification number (VIN), time of the accident, direction of travel (to identify incidents happening on highways), and other relevant information. However, concerns associated with failure and interface and jamming issues of eCall software impact the product deployment. Market players are working on incorporating better features and upgrades in eCall to address these issues. This system is expected to integrate advanced communication technologies such as text messaging, video calls, and telematics data to improve emergency response capabilities. The industry is currently observing strategic collaborations to design and deploy automotive recall systems in connected vehicles.
Type: Rising integration of automatic eCall systems in automobiles to ensure utmost security measures
Automatic eCall systems are designed to activate automatically upon detecting a severe collision or other critical events like airbag deployment using built-in sensors. Automatic systems are apparent in situations where occupants may be unable or incapacitated due to injury or shock during an accident, rendering them incapable of making a manual call for help. Manual button eCall systems operate through a physical button installed within the vehicle’s cabin, allowing occupants to initiate an emergency call voluntarily. This can be used in situations where the accident’s impact may not be severe enough to trigger automatic eCall sensors or when occupants require assistance not related to a collision.
Application: Incorporation of advanced and smart eCall systems in passenger vehicles
In commercial vehicles, automotive eCall provides a smart voice assistant and emergency call system to assist truck and heavy-duty vehicle drivers in case of emergency. eCall systems are equipped with sensor technology that works in areas with low network connectivity, enabling direct communication between center and driver to provide emergency services in commercial activities. In passenger vehicles, automotive eCall assists rescue services in promptly preparing the required care for those involved in the accident. This automotive eCall allows emergency services to assess and manage the situation of passengers effectively. In passenger vehicles, sensors can detect crashes; a telematics control unit enables voice and data connections for telematics services. eCall system is enabled with GPS and location tracking systems in vehicles to send data directly to the center in case of any emergency.
Regional Insights
The European region has been at the forefront of adopting eCall technology. In April 2018, it became mandatory for all new cars and light commercial vehicles sold within EU member states to be equipped with an integrated eCall system. This legislation was enacted with a prime focus on enhancing road safety by reducing emergency response times. Furthermore, compared to Europe’s proactive approach toward eCall adoption, the deployment rate is relatively lower in North and South America. However, there has been a steady increase in public awareness about vehicle safety technologies that provide functionalities similar to eCall systems. While there is no current legal mandate for automatic crash notification systems similar to eCall in this region, recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines recommend automakers integrate such features into their vehicles. Market players are working on deploying eCall with telematics solutions and services within the American automotive industry. In Asia, the adoption of eCall systems is still in the nascent stages, with several countries evaluating the feasibility of implementing similar regulatory requirements as Europe. Countries in the region have introduced satellite-based positioning to incorporate telematics services in vehicles. This development has spurred interest among major automotive OEMs and suppliers to invest in this region.
