Automotive Airbag Inflators Market Scenario
The biggest concern with high performance and high-end automobiles is that of driver safety. Earlier driver safety would include features such as instant brakes, windshields, robust and strong vehicle body, large diameter and through in the chassis. With greater emphasis on consumer safety in general, equal attention was given to vehicle performance and driver well-being. The need for developing different types of airbags was to protect the life of all the passengers inside the moving vehicle under any situation. This thought was a deviation from the earlier provided airbag mechanism, which involved thus protecting the life of the driver (and sometimes the person sitting adjacent to the driver).
There are many factors responsible for the growth of the automotive airbag inflator market. Firstly there is an increased awareness of traffic and vehicular safety amongst the consumers. Secondly, today’s automotive market is a buyer-centric market. Hence to remain relevant and stay in the competition, automotive manufacturers try to provide different and unique features at competitive prices. Thirdly, automakers need to create a brand image that goes beyond just car making and present to the world that they are concerned about people’s well-being, making it morally binding for them to provide the best quality airbags for consumer safety. Thus, the overall global automotive airbag inflator market is expected to grow with a CAGR of approximately 4% from 2022-2030.
Automotive Airbag Inflator Market, By Segmentation:
On the basis of the inflator type, the most commonly used is the pyrotechnic inflator. This type of inflator involves using a self-sustained material capable of undergoing exothermic chemical reactions to produce sufficient thrust of gas. This gas helps in inflating the airbag. Owing to the low cost of manufacture and high production rates, this inflator type is preferred. On the basis of the airbag position, the most commonly used is the frontal type. This airbag position ensures maximum oncoming impact absorption while requiring the least time for integrating in the dashboard mechanism.

On the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. In the North America market (U.S. and Canada in particular), the trend of big vehicles (SUV and mini trucks) has been consistent for a long time. People here generally prefer large personal vehicles over the sparsely distributed public transport system. With more high-performance cars plying on the roads, the probability of traffic-related mishaps is quite high. Hence, this region is always a potentially strong market for this system.
In the Asia Pacific market, the sheer combined population of emerging economies – India and China, is about ‘one third’ of the total world population. Additionally, both these countries have an ever-growing middle class in need of a personal vehicle. Thus Asia Pacific region, in general, is going to be the next automotive hub of the world, requiring enhanced safety features like airbags. The Europe region, with its near century-old car manufacturing facilities, have, some of the best automobiles coming out of its stable. Such high-end cars definitely require increased driver safety features such as airbags.

Recent Developments:
In March 2024, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda proclaimed that it would change motorcycle safety forever with the development of the latest airbag technology. So Honda is working on a thermal airbag for bikes, which is similar to that in cars, for the purpose of improving the safety of the riders.
In December 2023, Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd. expanded and moved its current engineering and sales office into the newly built Toyoda Gosei Technical Center India, a subsidiary of Toyoda Gosei Minda India located in Manesar Haryana. With this enhancement of technical development capacity, Toyoda Gosei sought to move its airbag development center to meet increasing needs for enhanced safety solutions as well as grow its business in the booming Indian automotive market.
In June 2023: Autoliv Effisus introduced a new type of airbag system that utilizes Bernoulli's principle of natural distribution technology. In the past, airbags used to expand rapidly during an accident due to the inflation of the internal gas within the sac. This includes an inflator that receives a signal indicating that a collision has taken place. This then drives high-pressure gases through venturi tubes at extremely high velocities and develops a positive pressure.
May 2023: Autoliv Inc. (China) and NIO Inc. signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement. While signing this agreement, NIO and Autoliv will develop safety or security products and technologies for electric vehicles in the future. Cutting-edge technologies will consist of a new passenger airbag that comes out of the headliner through an eco-friendly inflator.
