RF-Based VRU Safety Platforms Poised for Institutional-Scale Growth Amidst Stricter Safety Rules and Rising Urban Traffic

The Vulnerable Road User (VRU) RF sensing platform market is expected to grow at a double-digit annual rate, reaching $2.7-$3.0 billion by 2026, driven by stricter vehicle safety rules, rising urban traffic, and growing concern over pedestrian and cyclist injuries. RF-based VRU sensing platforms are positioned as a long-term growth opportunity tied to automotive safety, smart cities, and intelligent transportation systems. Companies like VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV), Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), Magna International Inc. (NYSE: MGA), ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ON), and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) are expected to benefit from this growth.
