Fleet owners are increasingly adopting predictive maintenance technology and component monitoring system to enhance vehicle reliability and avoid vehicle breakdown and associated costs. Predictive maintenance technology and component monitoring system prevents vehicle breakdown by continuously monitoring the condition of in-service components and alerting the end-user whenever maintenance or replacement of a component is required. The adoption of preventive maintenance technology will also minimize the chances of accidents caused because of the failure of rubber bushings which is subjected to uneven forces and constantly exposed to heat, oil, chemicals, and dust. The increasing production capacities, rising import-export activities, and growing demand for food and beverages have resulted in an increasing number of fleet vehicles and consequently boosted the adoption of predictive maintenance technology and component monitoring system. This has been identified as one of the critical automotive bushing market trends, which will positively influence the growth of the market.

Stringent emission norms have driven vehicle manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight by component downsizing and adopting lightweight materials. Automotive manufacturers are using rubber and polyurethane bushings which are lightweight, to reduce the overall weight of vehicles. These bushings provide cushioning, minimize noise generation, and enhance the safety, comfort, and operability of vehicles. The rising consumer emission about vehicle emission and increasing competition in the automotive sector are compelling manufacturers to adopt lightweighting technologies to enhance vehicle efficiency and in-vehicle comfort. This growing preference for vehicle lightweighting and in-vehicle comfort and safety will fuel the growth of the automotive bushings market at a CAGR of almost 4% during the forecast period.

Industry Analysis

Application Insights

The application segment has been segregated into suspension and steering, transmission system, and others. The suspension and steering segment accounted for the highest automotive bushing market share in 2018. During the forecast period, the suspension and steering and transmission system segments will grow at a faster pace than the overall market. The other segments will grow at a slower pace than the overall market.

The increasing demand for vehicles is expected to fuel the demand for automotive bushings for suspension and steering applications. The demand for rubber bushings is particularly high from vehicle manufacturers because of their high elasticity and shock absorbing capacity.

Regional Insights

APAC accounted for the highest market share in 2018. Though the market’s growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in MEA and South America, the region will account for the largest automotive bushing market share throughout the forecast period. China is a key market for automotive bushings in this region.

The rapid increase in demand for vehicles will be a significant factor fueling automotive bushing market growth in APAC. Factors such as the rising per capita income, increasing population, and business expansions by leading vehicle and component manufacturers will also contribute to the growth of the automotive bushings market in this region.
