Automotive Air Suspension Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The rising sales of luxury cars are notably driving the automotive air suspension market growth, although factors such as high production costs 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 automotive air suspension industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Air Suspension Market Driver

Rising sales of luxury cars are a major driver fueling the automotive air suspension market growth. Luxury cars are equipped with modern technologies that offer better performance, comfort, and convenience to the vehicle occupants as compared to other vehicles. Hence, the majority of the latest technological innovations, such as air suspension systems, for passenger cars are initially offered in luxury vehicles. Air suspension systems are mainly used in heavy-duty commercial trucks to reduce vibration and engine noise. However, technological advancements have made it possible to fit air suspension systems in passenger cars. The air suspension technology is restricted to luxury vehicles as the inflated price tags of luxury cars justify the cost of equipping the vehicle with air suspension systems. Increasing sales of luxury vehicles are expected to drive the production of automotive air suspension systems during the forecast period. Major luxury vehicle makers, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, witnessed a significant increase in sales in 2019 as compared to 2016.

Key Automotive Air Suspension Market Trend

The development of three-chamber air spring systems is a major trend influencing the automotive air suspension market growth. OEMs and suppliers have been closely developing advanced automotive suspension systems that offer maximum comfort to the vehicle occupants. Automotive air suspension systems automatically adjust the air pressure in the airbag to mitigate the majority of the force from the road bump to go to the vehicle occupants. Automotive air suspension systems heavily cushion road bumps and let minimal impact reach the vehicle occupants while traveling over rough terrains. Vendors are developing multiple types of automotive air suspension systems with more advanced capabilities. For instance, the three-chamber air spring system developed by Vibracoustic offers increased smoothness while driving over rough terrains. The system intelligently sets its air springs based on four different stiffness levels by switching on and off individual air chambers for providing a smoother drive.

Key Automotive Air Suspension Market Challenge

High production costs are a major hindrance to the automotive air suspension market growth. The installation of automotive air suspension systems significantly increases the production costs of vehicles. Hence, the adoption of automotive air suspension systems is largely limited to luxury vehicles and heavy-duty commercial trucks. High production and installation costs associated with air suspension systems will pose a significant challenge to the growth of the global automotive air suspension market during the forecast period. The automotive air suspension system for a passenger car roughly costs $2,200, whereas the spring conversion kit costs about $1,300. The price difference between the two types of automotive suspensions is driving vehicle makers to use automotive air suspension systems in high-performance luxury vehicles only. Air suspension systems involve a complex system of sensors and equipment to constantly monitor the road conditions and adjust vehicle height accordingly. The additional number of sensors used in the system and their integration with the vehicle's electronic control module further increase the production costs of automotive air suspension systems.

This automotive air suspension market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the European automotive industry in 2020. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) predicted a 25% decline in passenger car registrations in the European Union, from 12.8 million in 2019 to 9.6 million units in 2020. Consequently, the demand for automotive pumps declined to a great extent. However, the lifting of nationwide lockdowns in the first half of 2020 and the resumption of automotive manufacturing activities in Germany, Italy, and France resulted in a rapid increase in the sales of automotive components, including automotive pumps, in the second half of 2020. Hence, the regional market is likely to witness a V-shaped recovery during the forecast period.
