Increasing public awareness about vehicle safety is driving necessity for standard fitment in vehicles, coupled with frontal and curtain airbags. Crash tests are being implemented for manufacturers by governments, providing safety benefits to customers. Various safety standards are imposed on vehicles, based on an assessment, for occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and child protection systems. These factors are expected to propel the growth of the global automotive airbag market, according to a report by Future Market Insights (FMI).

Global Automotive Airbags Market Estimated to Register 3.5% Volume CAGR Through 2027

FMI’s report projects the global automotive airbag market to register a healthy 3.5% CAGR, in terms of volume, during the forecast period 2017 to 2027. Global sales of automotive airbags will reach nearly 377.3 Mn units in 2017; by 2027 this number is estimated to surpass 530 Mn units. Consumers across countries such as the U.S. and Canada are getting more knowledgeable and aware about vehicles and driving safety. This has led to rising preference for vehicles comprising all safety equipment, including all types of airbags. Government of Latin America has made it mandatory to install drivers’ and front seat airbags in every new vehicle including light trucks. This is likely to lower the number of accidents and injuries, improving safety. Such factors are expected to drive the market growth.

In addition, growth of the market is also attributed to other factors including increasing utilisation of curtain airbags, growing demand for high performance luxury vehicles, rising number of road accidents, technology advancements, advanced safety technology, and surging demand for external airbag. However, emergence and adoption of several substitute safety technologies such as advanced seatbelts, and antilock braking system are estimated to restrain growth of the market. Adding to this, the Union road transport ministry of India has also made installation of compulsory airbags in all cars from July 1, 2019.
