Overview of the global commercial vehicle air deflector market

According to Technavio's market research report, the global commercial vehicle air deflector market will grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period. The growing trend for truck platooning techniques will drive the growth prospects for the global commercial vehicle air deflector market during the estimated period. With the growing popularity of truck platooning techniques, the market is witnessing a high adoption of frontal air deflectors in commercial vehicles since these air deflectors enable an effective formation. The growing need for integrated vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, improved fuel efficiency of trucks, and the integration of advanced sensors, GPS and radar, will encourage truck platooning techniques in the commercial sector. This in turn, will boost the demand for truck wind deflectors, which will subsequently stimulate the growth of the commercial vehicle air deflector market.

The introduction of air deflectors made from carbon fiber, will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the commercial vehicle air deflector market during the next few years. Since wind deflectors made from carbon fiber are light in weight, durable, and are stronger than aluminum and steel, the demand for these air deflectors will rise in the coming years, which will in turn, fuel the growth of the air deflector market for commercial vehicles.
