随着道路安全意识的增强,消费者对车辆的安全功能也越来越重视。社群媒体活动、消费者评论以及媒体对车辆安全测试的报告不断增加,让买家了解了安全气囊的重要性。因此,即使在成本往往是汽车购买决策主要因素的新兴市场,消费者也愿意为配备先进安全功能(包括高效能安全气囊充气机)的车辆支付高价。消费者需求的激增直接影响了安全气囊充气机市场的成长。
不断增长的汽车产量
全球汽车市场正在经历显着成长,特别是在发展中国家,新兴中产阶级正在为汽车保有量的增加做出贡献。随着越来越多的汽车被製造来满足这一需求,对安全气囊等安全功能的需求自然会增加。汽车产量的增加对汽车安全气囊气体发生器产生了直接且不断增长的需求,使其成为市场扩张的关键因素。
The global automotive airbag inflator market size reached US$ 5.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for luxury vehicles, rising popularity of ride-sharing services, and the growing trend of consumer lawsuits against auto manufacturers for inadequate safety measures are some of the major factors propelling the market.
An automotive airbag inflator is a device used in cars to inflate airbags during a collision. It contains a solid propellant, often a mixture of chemicals, which undergoes a rapid exothermic reaction when ignited. It can be equipped in the steering wheel, door panels, or dashboard and triggered by sensors that detect a crash. It serves as an essential part of the overall safety system of the vehicle. It provides rapid expansion of the airbag to cushion passengers and reduce injury.
The increasing consumer need for passenger, autonomous, and luxury vehicles due to rapid urbanization and inflating income levels is strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising popularity of ride-sharing services is catalyzing the need for high safety standards in vehicles, including automotive airbag inflators. In addition, the growing trend of consumer lawsuits against auto manufacturers for inadequate safety measures is driving the installation of multiple airbags in vehicles. Apart from this, the increasing emphasis on driver and passenger safety on account of the expanding number of fatal road accidents is favoring the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing installation of automotive airbag inflators in commercial vehicles, including delivery vans, buses, and trucks, to rescue the occupant in the event of a collision is influencing the market positively.
Increase in safety regulations
One of the key factors driving the demand for automotive airbag inflators is the tightening of safety regulations around the world. Governing agencies are becoming increasingly stringent about vehicle safety standards to reduce road fatalities and injuries. Many countries now have stringent laws regarding the inclusion of airbags in all new cars. This is a direct response to the statistical evidence linking airbags with reduced risk of severe injury during accidents. The stringent safety norms are compelling automobile manufacturers to integrate advanced airbag systems, thereby boosting the market for airbag inflators.
Rise in consumer awareness
With an increase in awareness about road safety, consumers are becoming more conscious of the safety features in a vehicle. Social media campaigns, consumer reviews, and increased media coverage on vehicle safety tests have educated buyers about the importance of airbags. As a result, even in emerging markets, where cost is often a major factor in car buying decisions, consumers are willing to pay a premium for vehicles equipped with advanced safety features, including efficient airbag inflators. This surge in consumer demand directly impacts the growth of the airbag inflator market.
Growing vehicle production
The global automotive market is experiencing significant growth, especially in developing countries where an emerging middle class is contributing to increased vehicle ownership. As more cars are manufactured to meet this demand, the need for safety features like airbags naturally rises. This increased vehicle production creates a direct and growing demand for automotive airbag inflators, making it a crucial factor for market expansion.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global automotive airbag inflator market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on type, operation, and vehicle type.
Driver Airbag
Passenger Airbag
Curtain Airbag
Knee Airbag
Pedestrian Protection Airbag
Side Airbag
Curtain airbag dominates the market
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes driver airbag, passenger airbag, curtain airbag, knee airbag, pedestrian protection airbag, and side airbag. According to the report, curtain airbag represented the largest segment. Curtain airbags are installed along the sides of the interior of the vehicle, within the headliner above the windows. These airbags protect occupants from side impacts and rollovers by deploying downwards like a curtain to cover the side windows. Curtain airbags often use hybrid inflators or stored gas inflators rather than pyrotechnic ones.
Driver airbag inflators are specially designed to protect the driver during a head-on collision. Typically located in the steering wheel, the driver airbag needs to inflate rapidly and uniformly to cushion the driver effectively. These inflators contain a solid propellant that undergoes a rapid chemical reaction upon ignition, filling the airbag instantly.
Pyrotechnic
Stored Gas
Hybrid
Pyrotechnic holds the largest share in the market
A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the operation has also been provided in the report. This includes pyrotechnic, stored gas, and hybrid. According to the report, pyrotechnic accounted for the largest market share. Pyrotechnic inflators are commonly used type of airbag inflators in automotive safety systems. When a collision is detected by the sensors of the vehicle, an electrical signal is sent to the airbag control unit, which then activates the pyrotechnic inflator.
Stored gas inflators operate differently than their pyrotechnic counterparts. These inflators use a cylinder filled with compressed gas, commonly argon or nitrogen, instead of a solid propellant. When the sensors of airbag systems detect a collision, the airbag control unit sends an activation signal to release the stored gas.
Passenger Car
Commercial Vehicle
Passenger car dominates the market
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the vehicle type. This includes passenger car and commercial vehicle. According to the report, passenger car represented the largest segment. In passenger cars, the focus is often on providing comprehensive safety features while maintaining comfort and aesthetics. Pyrotechnic inflators are commonly used in driver and front passenger airbags because of their rapid inflation capabilities. These inflators can deploy an airbag within 20 to 30 milliseconds, which offer immediate protection in frontal collisions and are the most common type of accident for passenger cars. Curtain airbags and side airbags in these vehicles may use stored gas or hybrid inflators, which are generally less sensitive to environmental factors like temperature and humidity.
Commercial vehicles include a wide range of vehicle types, such as trucks, buses, and vans, and often prioritize durability and reliability over comfort. These vehicles can be exposed to more challenging driving conditions, including long hours of operation, heavy loads, and a greater range of environmental conditions. As such, stored gas inflators are often preferred for their robustness and lower sensitivity to temperature and moisture. The focus here is more on durability and long-term reliability, given the extended service life and harsher operating conditions these vehicles can encounter.

Besides this, the growing number of strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is influencing the market positively.
North America is estimated to witness stable growth, owing to government initiatives, product innovation, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, etc.
The leading companies are integrating sensors in vehicles that work in harmony with airbag inflators and can detect the severity of a collision, the position of seats, and whether seat belts are fastened. They are also launching advanced airbag systems that have the capability for variable inflation rates based on the crash severity, occupant size, and other factors and allow for softer or harder inflation to minimize injury and provide optimum protection. Moreover, key players are developing environment friendly automotive airbag inflators that aim to reduce the impact on the environment without compromising safety performance. They can also be incorporated with other vehicle safety systems like seatbelt pre-tensioners and active head restraints that aim to provide an overall safer environment in the event of a collision.
