Automotive Suspension System Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
The automotive suspension system market was valued at USD 61.05 billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach USD 86.16 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of about 5.76% during the forecast period 2022 - 2027.
The automotive suspension system market was negatively affected due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The decline in passenger car and commercial vehicle sales in 2020 and the temporary shutdown of vehicle and component production facilities have resulted in a decrease. However, with the decline in the cases, production facilities are back in operation, and vehicle sales have increased across major geographies.
Over the medium term, demand for luxury cars and penetration of active suspension systems are expected to drive the market demand over the forecast period. The rise in vehicle autonomy is expected to drive the market growth for sensor- and electronic-based suspension systems. The development of air suspension in automobiles was one of the most significant changes in the industry.
The shifting paradigm of automobile manufacturing and rising consumer expectations will necessitate the incorporation of effective performance elements into vehicles by automakers. OEMs are investing in R&D to integrate novel technologies into suspension systems to improve steering stability and provide a comfortable ride. Such developments will drive the vehicle suspension market forward. For Instance, In 2021, Continental will include air suspension dampers in its product line. The goods will first be offered for VW and Audi cars, such as the Audi A8, Audi Q7, and VW Touareg.
Regions like Asia-Pacific and Europe are forecasted to be the fastest-growing automotive suspension system market. In Asia-Pacific, China is expected to continue to be the driver of market growth during the forecast period.
Key Market TrendsGrowing Sales of Commercial Vehicles to Drive Demand in the MarketThe demand for commercial vehicles is rising owing to the growing logistics industry and increasing usage of light commercial vehicles, such as vans (for ride-hailing services). One of the key driving factors for light commercial vehicles is the increased preference for pickup trucks and small vans over heavy-duty trucks and railways for logistics. The growing demand for logistics stems from the growing e-commerce industry globally. As the e-commerce market continues to expand, demand for pickup vans, small trucks, and other LCVs is also likely to increase.
The government and car manufacturers' initiatives to introduce commercial electric vehicles are expected to drive the automotive suspension market in the study period. In the past few years, the electric commercial vehicle market witnessed major automakers rolling out their strategies toward electric mobility, helping to boost the global suspension market. For instance:
Technological advancements, along with new vehicle launches and increasing adoption of commercial electric vehicles across the world, are expected to help the automotive suspension system market growth during the forecasted period. Due to the rising environmental concerns, the electric commercial vehicle market is in its growth phase, and the market is expected to rise exponentially during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific is Anticipated to Register the Highest Growth During the Forecast PeriodAsia-Pacific automotive suspension system market is expected to grow at a significant rate in terms of revenue during the forecast period. The rise in new vehicle sales, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles across the region, is witnessing major growth in the market. Major companies expanding their production facilities across the region is likely to create an opportunity for the market. For instance,
Such initiatives are expected to drive automotive production in the upcoming years, which, in turn, would drive the demand for automotive suspension systems across the region.
Competitive LandscapeThe automotive suspension system market is moderately consolidated with leading players such as Continental AG, Mando Corporation, ZF, Magneti Marelli, Thyssenkrupp AG, Mando Corporation, etc., accounting for major market share. Product innovation and geographic expansion to new markets will play a major role in the success of any player in the automotive suspension market.
