Market Overview

A keyless entry system for vehicles uses an electronic locking mechanism to control access to the vehicle. This system contains circuits for both transmission and reception, which work with RF modules that have quartz crystal oscillators to lock/unlock and start the engine in a manner that is automatic. The modern, keyless entry system not only works with a push-button start but also facilitates locking and unlocking of the car by just having the key fob in the pocket of the user, thus providing superior anti-theft protection due to the use of encrypted communication protocols. These contemporary access systems are a part of the intelligent vehicle ecosystem that is linked to the internet and can offer further functionalities, such as smartphone-based entry and mobile applications for remote services like unlocking and preheating/cooling the car.

The U.S. automotive industry’s focus on cutting-edge security technologies has resulted in 42% of fleet and commercial buyers asking for the installation of aftermarket PKES. Moreover, around 60% of the electric vehicle models made in the USA in 2024 had keyless digital access as a part of their features, which is indicative of the Country's dominance in the keyless vehicle access control systems market report and its technological breakthroughs.

The U.S. and Canada are ensuring the use of advanced access control systems through their strict safety and anti-theft regulations. The market for vehicle toll collection and access control has seen a rise in recent times as electronic tolling systems have been adopted more widely. These systems are not only efficient but also help in reducing traffic and thus are conducive to smart transportation infrastructure.
