Airbag Systems Market in South Africa: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The enhanced vehicle safety with more airbags is notably driving the airbag systems market growth in South Africa, although factors such as high-cost pressure on OEMs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the airbag systems industry in South Africa. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Airbag Systems Market Driver in South Africa
One of the key factors driving growth in the airbag systems market in South Africa is enhanced vehicle safety with more airbags. Road crashes lead to more than a million deaths each year. These deaths can be minimized by taking safety precautions and implementing safety features in vehicles. Airbags are one of the safety mechanisms in vehicles that can reduce the number of injuries and fatalities in accidents. In the event of a collision, the airbag sensor senses the impact and sends a signal to the ECU. The ECU will deploy the airbag and protect passengers from getting hurt. Airbags in the steering wheel and front panel cannot save passengers during a side impact; they protect them only from frontal or head-on collisions. In many cases, people can become disabled if they sustain leg or knee injuries in a collision. Knee airbags protect the legs/knees of passengers from injuries during a collision. External airbags protect pedestrians from getting hit by a vehicle. Both knee airbags and external airbags are growing in popularity. The increase in the number of airbags per vehicle is expected to spur the growth of the market in focus.
Key Airbag Systems Market Trend in South Africa
The MEMS sensors for airbags is another factor supporting the airbag systems market share growth in South Africa. Present-day vehicles are equipped with numerous components that can improve engine operation and reduce emissions. Currently, vehicles have many electronic components, most of which are intended to alert drivers about certain risks that they may face. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are small mechanical and electro-mechanical elements manufactured using microfabrication techniques. MEMS detects the smallest changes in the driving environment and gathers information, both inside and outside the vehicle. With the help of this data, the connected control units prevent the car from skidding, indicate the exact amount of fuel left, and deploy airbags within seconds. Airbag systems have become more advanced with the latest MEMS sensors being offered by vendors such as Robert Bosch. As technological advancements continue to gain momentum, more advanced automotive airbag systems are expected to enter the market during the forecast period. This is expected to favor the growth of the market in focus.
Key Airbag Systems Market Challenge in South Africa
The high-cost pressure on OEMs will be a major challenge for the airbag systems market in South Africa during the forecast period. Auto OEMs are subject to heavy cost pressures due to the dynamism of the regulatory environment and demanding consumer base. Environment and safety standards are pressurizing OEMs to comply with the regulations while not transmitting additional costs to the consumer. Controlling emissions is bound to increase the cost of the vehicle. Dynamism in standards will further affect the cost of R&D and production processes. Furthermore, consumers demanding advanced features at competitive prices will add to the existing cost pressures on OEMs. Such high-cost pressures are challenging the OEMs to introduce advanced features of the high-end car segment to the low-end and mid-end segments without increasing the sticker prices. This may affect the demand for several types of airbags. OEMs not offering product differentiation in the low-end and mid-end segment or not adding new features may have reduced profit margins because the advantages that accrue from voluminous sales (exhibited by the low-end and mid-end segment) will likely elude them. Thus, such high-cost pressures on OEMs are likely to hamper market growth.
