Global Motorcycle Hill Hold Control System Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global motorcycle hill hold control system market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global motorcycle hill hold control system market will grow at a CAGR of around 25% by 2021.  The increasing adoption of safety systems is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Motorcycles are less stable than three-wheeled or four-wheeled automobiles and are more prone to safety issues. The destabilization of a motorcycle can occur due to external events like sudden braking, acceleration, and leaning. This drives the need for a device that will allow the rider to maintain stability during such events. Safety systems such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS) can provide stability by controlling the brake pressure or engine ignition. These safety systems also prevent the skidding of wheels by constantly comparing the individual wheel speeds with speeds that are predicted by the system. The stability offered by ABS during acceleration is increasing the demand for TCS, hill hold control system (HHCS), and other related components in motorcycles as standard fitments. In most vehicles, ESC, ABS, and TCS use the same ECU for their operation. Since HHCS also uses the same ECU and ABS, it can be offered as a bundled offering in vehicles that are fitted with ABS and TCS. The growing adoption of ABS and TCS due to the introduction of several regulations will increase the adoption of HHCS in the coming years.

The emergence of the vehicle hold control (VHC) is one of the key trends that will contribute to the growth of this market during the forecast period. One of the leading vendors Bosch, has already introduced VHC that holds the rear wheel brake for 10 seconds when the vehicle is either uphill or downhill for slip control. The system works on flat surfaces as well and this eliminates the need for the rider to have any physical contact with the brake when the vehicle is stationary. Moreover, the controller maintains the brake pressure level to prevent the vehicle from moving. After 10 seconds, a visual warning is indicated by the dash, and the brakes will be slowly released. The driver can either apply the brake to activate the VHC or accelerate to deactivate the system.

Competitive landscape and key vendors  

The motorcycle hill hold control system market consists of few established players. With the implementation of the forward integration strategy by a few tier-1 suppliers, the market is highly-competitive. The adoption of the system-on-chip concept, will intensify the level of competition among the existing players in the vehicle stability control system market since numerous automotive electronics suppliers will start integrating the concept in their products.

The leading vendors in the market are -

• Bosch
• Continental
• ZF group

The other prominent vendors in the market are BMW Motorrad, Ducati, Hyundai Mobis, Murata Manufacturing Co, and WABCO.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the motorcycle hill hold control system market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the vehicle stability control system market throughout the forecast period. The increased adoption of heavy weight motorcycles for touring and pleasure riding is one key drivers for the markets’ growth in the region. Additionally, the introduction of government legislations that will drive the adoption of ABS in the niche motorcycle segment will also aid in the adoption of HHCS since ABS and HHCS share common components.

Growth drivers, challenges, and upcoming trends: Discounts on insurance for motorcycles with safety features

The availability of discounts will increase the demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies in motorcycles. For instance, insurance providers are offering discounts on motorcycle insurance if the vehicle is fitted with safety functions such as ABS, HHC, TCS, and ESC. The discounts range from 5% to 10% depending on the provider and region. This trend of offering insurance discounts has a positive effect on the motorcycle ADAS market. Moreover, the adoption of these safety features in motorcycles helps insurance providers bring down the number of claims. Additionally, the discount also allows the rider to lower the overall cost of ADAS, which is generally considered expensive. This trend is projected to boost the adoption of these safety technologies in countries that have an increased concentration of low-powered motorcycles and entry-level luxury motorcycles.
