Global 60 GHz mmWave Radar Sensors and Modules Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global 60 GHz mmWave Radar Sensors and Modules market size is predicted to grow from US$ 303 million in 2025 to US$ 1,290 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.9% from 2026 to 2032.

60 GHz mmWave radar sensors and modules refer to radar ICs, radar SoCs, antenna-in-package devices, RF front ends, OEM sensor modules and application-ready radar modules operating mainly around the 57–64 GHz, 60–64 GHz or regionally authorised 57–71 GHz bands. These products use millimetre-wave electromagnetic signals, typically through FMCW, Doppler, pulsed coherent radar or MIMO radar architectures, to measure range, velocity, angle, presence, occupancy, gesture, respiration, heart-rate micro-motion, fall events, people flow or object movement without physical contact.

The market covered in this report focuses on hardware components and OEM modules used as core sensing units in smart home devices, building automation systems, in-cabin automotive sensing, healthcare and eldercare monitoring, industrial safety systems, robotics and level/ranging applications. Typical product forms include radar SoCs, radar-on-chip devices, AiP/AoPCB modules, presence detection modules, vital-sign radar modules, people-counting modules, in-cabin sensing modules and industrial ranging or safety radar sensors. The defining value proposition is the ability to provide privacy-preserving, lighting-independent and micro-motion-sensitive perception where cameras, PIR sensors, ultrasonic sensors or basic motion detectors are technically constrained.

Indicative pricing ranges from several US dollars to several tens of US dollars for radar ICs and SoCs, roughly US$10–80 for general OEM modules, and higher levels for certified industrial or safety-grade sensors.

Based on our research, the 60 GHz mmWave radar sensor market should be understood as a hardware-enabling layer for short-range spatial perception, rather than as a narrow sub-market of simple motion sensors. The core of the industry lies in radar ICs, radar SoCs, radar-on-chip devices, AiP or AoPCB modules, OEM radar modules and application-specific radar sensors used for presence detection, range measurement, people counting, vital-sign monitoring, gesture recognition, in-cabin sensing and industrial safety. Compared with 24 GHz radar, 60 GHz solutions offer a smaller antenna footprint and higher spatial resolution. Compared with cameras, they provide a more privacy-preserving and lighting-independent sensing method. For this reason, the market boundary adopted in this report is deliberately narrow and focuses on 60 GHz radar hardware sold as chips, SoCs, RF front ends, modules or sensor units, rather than the full value of finished smart home devices, healthcare platforms or vehicle systems.

From the supply side, the industry has developed into a multi-layered global ecosystem. Large semiconductor vendors and specialised radar chip companies lead the core IC and SoC layer, while Japanese, Taiwanese and European module suppliers provide OEM modules, micro-modules and industrial-grade radar sensors. China-based suppliers are becoming increasingly visible in low-cost presence detection modules, vital-sign modules, IoT modules and smart-building use cases. The competitive structure is not yet fully consolidated, because requirements differ materially across applications. Automotive in-cabin sensing requires reliability, low false-alarm rates and regulatory or safety alignment; healthcare monitoring requires micro-motion sensitivity and stable algorithms; industrial safety requires robustness and certification; and smart home applications require low cost, compact size and easy integration. These differences create room for both global leaders and specialised regional suppliers.

Demand growth is expected to come from several parallel application clusters rather than a single end market. In automotive, child presence detection, seat occupancy, occupant classification and vital-sign sensing are becoming important high-value applications. In smart buildings and consumer IoT, human presence detection, people counting, energy-saving control and privacy-friendly room sensing are driving wider module adoption. In healthcare and eldercare, radar-based fall detection and non-contact respiration and heart-rate monitoring are gaining attention. In industrial applications, distance measurement, collision avoidance, level sensing and safety-area monitoring remain important niches. Regulatory support for 57–71 GHz unlicensed radar sensing and the inclusion of child presence detection in vehicle safety assessment frameworks provide additional structural support for the industry’s medium-term growth.
