New car model using Acconeer radar sensor launched with an estimated value of USD 1,4 million

By

Acconeer's A1 pulsed coherent radar sensor is used in a car model from a Japanese high-volume car maker for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. Acconeer estimates the total value of this model to USD 1,4 million over seven years. The car model is released on the US market by a Japanese company among the global top ten car manufacturers. Sales to this customer are reflected in sales to Acconeer's distributors.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “We are happy to see yet another car with our sensor rolling out on the streets, and this time with a new manufacturer. It is a confirmation that our technology is superior to other existing solutions, and we expect many more design wins and launches for this use case going forward.”

The automotive industry is an important business segment for Acconeer. Acconeer’s radar is the pioneer to replace existing capacitive solutions for access control and the company expects radars to completely replace existing solutions. Based on this, Acconeer expects their sales to the automotive industry to grow significantly over the coming years.

Acconeer announces automotive design win with an estimated value of USD 30 million, for the first time including next generation radar sensor – A2

By

For the first time, Acconeer’s upcoming next generation A2 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor has been selected for in-cabin monitoring in a car. In addition, Acconeer’s A1 radar sensor has been selected for the use case access control – which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car – in the same car model, by a European premium car manufacturer. The total estimated value of the design win is around USD 30 million over a seven-year period starting in 2026. By "design win" Acconeer refers to that the company's radar sensor has been selected for use in a customer product, but it is not equivalent to that an order has been placed.

For in-cabin monitoring three interior detection use cases are implemented; child presence detection, seatbelt reminder and theft alarm.

CEO Lars Lindell comments: “To have our coming A2 sensor selected for use in cars already, based on the good performance of our prototype, is a huge milestone for us as a company as well as it being the largest design win in the company’s history. In addition, we have previously won several design wins with the same manufacturer, and to get this design win on a new car platform is a strong proof of that they are happy with the performance of our products and with our collaboration.”

In total, Acconeer has now seen four launched car models and 15 design wins with five different manufacturers in the automotive industry. The total forecasted value of all announced design wins is USD 70 million in the period 2024-2032. A design win is counted when a formal nomination is received, or when forecasted sales can be done with high reliability.

Acconeer has delivered more than two million radar sensors

By

As of today, Acconeer has shipped more than two million of its A1Pulsed Coherent Radar sensors, accumulated since the company started selling Evaluation Kits (EVKs) in February 2018.

Lars Lindell, CEO Acconeer, comments: "Today we are happy to have passed the milestone of two million sensors shipped since we started selling it online. Since the start, we have seen a steady increase of the pace at which we pass these milestones, and now we are looking to increase the rate we sell at even further to reach new important sales achievements."

From sales start to one million sensors sold took us more than four years, and now in only 18 more months we have sold our second million. We expect the pace to pick up even more and believe we will reach three million in a much shorter time. Since 2021, Acconeer reports accumulated sales in financial reports, by the end of 2023 the company had sold in total just over 1,9 million radar sensors.

Acconeer’s latest radar sensor achieves a power consumption less than 80 µW for human presence detection

By

The latest generation of Acconeer’s radar sensors has the world’s lowest power consumption – less than 80 µW – when used for human presence detection. These sensors are integrated in several car models to detect occupancy on each seat in the passenger compartment, and are accurate enough to even safely register a sleeping baby in a child seat.

While Acconeer’s market leading radar sensors can easily fit on the tip of a finger, they are still able to detect distance, speed and motion of multiple objects up to 20 meters away. The sensors are today deployed in a diverse selection of industries around the world, ranging from automotive and industrial installations to consumer products and IoT solutions. Many of the end products are powered by battery and have high restrictions on power consumption. When configured smartly, these sensor solutions can reach a battery lifetime of up to 10 years.

The Acconeer team will be showing the products and a broad mix of live demos at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 9-12. For more information and to book a meeting at the CES tradeshow, please contact Magnus Gerward at us@acconeer.com.
