Global Airbag Market Size, Share & Trends Report, by Module (Inflator and Airbag), by Type (Front Airbag, Knee Airbag, Side Airbag, and Curtain Airbag), by Material (Polyester Fiber, Nylon, and Others), by Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle) and by Distribution Channel (OEM and Aftermarket) Forecast (2022-2028)

The global airbag market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period (2022-2028). The rise in road traffic accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the global airbag market. For instance, According to the data published by World Health Organization in 2021, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of mortalities in children and young adults aged 5-29 years and about 73.0% of all road traffic injuries occur among young males under the age of 25 years. Approximately 1.3 million mortalities occur annually as a result of road traffic crashes. More than 90.0% of the world’s fatalities on the roads occur in low – and middle-income countries. Moreover, an estimated 20 million – 50 million people suffer from non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury. Thus, owing to rising road traffic accidents, many countries are urging OEMs to mandate the airbags in commercial and passenger vehicles, which in turn will fuel the demand for the global airbag market.

The stringent government regulations regarding airbag installations are anticipated to drive the growth of the global airbag market. For instance, in January 2022, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways approved a draft notification to make six airbags mandatory in cars with a passenger capacity of eight people. According to the draft notification, M1 category vehicles manufactured post-October 2022, will be fitted with two curtain airbags and front side airbags. In addition, several major players are mandating airbags in order to comply with safety regulations as well as to ensure passenger safety, which in turn is driving the growth of the global airbag market. For instance, in February 2022, Mahindra updated Bolero SUV with dual airbags as standard. Thus, such stringent regulations are anticipated to fuel the demand for the global airbag market.
