Adaptive suspension is a developing technology that aims to reduce vibrations in vehicles by dissipating vibrational energy. Fuel efficiency is a major concern for OEMs, as only a small percentage of a vehicle's fuel energy is actually used to propel the vehicle, with the rest being lost through idling, braking, vibrational energy dissipation, and other forms of energy loss.
Adaptive suspension systems are primarily used in hybrid and electric vehicles, which have gained significant popularity in recent years. This rise in popularity is expected to drive the demand for adaptive suspension systems in the future. Similar to adaptive suspension, adaptive braking technology has been widely adopted in hybrid and electric vehicles. Major electric vehicle manufacturers predict that adaptive suspension systems will become standard features in electric vehicles by 2030. It is believed that adaptive suspension systems can continuously generate power and can improve fuel efficiency by up to 2% on smooth roads and even up to 10% on bumpy roads.
The integration of adaptive suspension systems in hybrid and electric vehicles provides several benefits. Firstly, it helps to reduce vibrations, leading to a smoother and more comfortable ride for passengers. This is particularly important for electric vehicles, as they tend to have higher torque and can produce more vibrations. By dissipating vibrational energy, adaptive suspension systems enhance the overall driving experience and passenger comfort.
Furthermore, the utilization of adaptive suspension systems in hybrid and electric vehicles contributes to improved fuel efficiency. These systems are designed to adjust the suspension settings based on road conditions, optimizing the vehicle's dynamics and reducing energy waste. On smooth roads, the adaptive suspension system can improve fuel efficiency by 2% by minimizing energy loss due to vibrations. On bumpy roads, the system's ability to adapt and absorb shocks can further enhance fuel efficiency by up to 10%.

Market Opportunities | The high cost of the suspension system & its installation in the aftermarket |
Automotive Adaptive Suspension System Market in terms of value is estimated to reach a value of USD 6,452 Million by 2030, registering a 8.70% CAGR during the forecast period.
The automotive adaptive suspension system is a system that actively controls the vertical movement of the wheels corresponding to the vehicle chassis (vehicle’s body) through a computer-controlled system. It offers a better refined and smooth riding experience. This system detects the vehicle body movement with the help of an onboard computer using many sensors installed on the vehicle body. The automotive adaptive suspension system market is driven by factors such as a rise in concerns regarding safety and comfort in vehicles and demand for advanced suspension technologies in commercial vehicles & premium high-end vehicles. However, the high cost of the suspension system & its installation in the aftermarket is expected to restrain the market growth. The demand for adaptive suspension systems for electric & hybrid vehicles and the use of cost-effective & lightweight materials are likely to create opportunities for the market players.
