Advances & Funding in Autonomous Vehicles that Drive the 4D Imaging Radar Market Growth

Published: May 2025

Global 4D imaging radar market was valued at $3.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.4% over the forecast period (2025–2035), reaching approximately $26.7 billion by 2035. The growth of autonomous driving is attributed to advancements in advanced sensing technologies such as 4D imaging radar, which enable precise object detection and environmental mapping. For instance, in January 2024, Altos Radar, an industry-leading startup, introduced its revolutionary 4D imaging radar at CES 2024. Altos V Series, a non-FPGA 4-chip cascade based on TI TDA4, produces high-quality point clouds for autonomous vehicles with better detection range and cost-effectiveness. Altos RF Series, a non-computing front-end radar module, provides an affordable solution that interfaces with a shared camera interface, tapping into untapped ADAS central computer resources to deliver high-quality point clouds. Altos Radar's 4D imaging radar addresses increasing demand, with the market expected to double to $8 billion by 2027 and possibly $400 billion by 2035. The startup, which has $3.5 million in seed funding, showcased its technology at CES 2024.
