Opportunities for the global automotive suspension market to reach $79.0 billion by 2023

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global automotive suspension market looks promising with opportunities in the passenger car, light commercial vehicle and heavy commercial vehicle segments. The global automotive suspension market is expected to reach an estimated $79.0 billion by 2023 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2018 to 2023. The major drivers of growth for this market are increasing vehicle production, increasing need for improved ride quality, and the growing demand for advanced safety and convenience systems.

By vehicle type, passenger car, light commercial vehicle and heavy commercial vehicle are the major segments of the automotive suspension market On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the passenger car segment will show above average growth during the forecast period.

By system, passive suspension system, active suspension system, and semi-active suspension system are the major segments of the automotive suspension market. Passive suspension system is the largest segment but active suspension system is expected to grow faster as it works by constantly sensing changes in the road surface and feeding the information through ECU to the outlying components. Thus these components help in adjusting shock stiffness and spring rates thereby improving ride comfort, which results in increaseing safety and comfort of the passengers

By end user, OEM and aftermarket are the major segments of the global automotive suspension market. OEM is expected to remain the largest segment due to increasing automotive production and increasing demand for lightweight suspension components during the forecast period.

Steel, composites and other materials are used in the global automotive suspension market. Steel is used globally by automakers so as to achieve desired strength at an economical price.

APAC is expected to remain the largest region and register the highest growth rate due to higher vehicle production, increasing government regulations for safety and security, and consumer demand for improved suspensions during the forecast period.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the development of lightweight suspensions, the introduction of electronic suspension technology, and the introduction of energy recovery suspension systems. Benteler International, Tenneco Inc., ZF Friedrichshafen AG, KYB Corporation, and Magneti Marelli S.p.A are the major suspension suppliers in the global automotive suspension market.
