  Increased safety regulations are driving the market growth

  
  

COVID-19 has changed the way we live and travel in cities, as well as in society as a whole. It is believed that a new way of life would arise. Governments worldwide have required that public transit and ride-sharing firms limit the number of passengers per car, citing social separation as the strongest defense against COVID-19. People appear hesitant to use public transportation as their reliance on personal mobility continues to rise as nations 'unlock,' and businesses reopen in various countries. The necessity for personal mobility is anticipated to rise as customers seek to ensure their own safety. Although other external causes drove this increase in the past, as the demand for social separation and preventative measures grows, these numbers will continue to rise. This factor drives the market CAGR.

Additionally, the automotive suspension system market mainly relies on manufacturing and selling automobiles. As a result, fluctuations in automotive demand have an impact on the market. The market for automotive suspension systems is fueled by rising demand for sedans, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. To reduce the high cost of production of these systems, the Chinese and Indian governments are investing in the aftermarket through direct engagement with tier 1 suppliers. The presence of automotive suspension manufacturers in the aftermarket, such as ZF Friedrichshafen AG and Dorman Products, is projected to boost demand for advanced suspension systems.

Furthermore, the automotive suspension system market is expected to be driven by the European Union's reviving automotive industry. Sales were held back by limited inventory and fewer incentives during the pandemic, but the relaxation in the lockdown is expected to boost the automotive market growth. Thus, the rising demand for commercial and passenger vehicles is expected to drive the Automotive Suspension System Market revenuegrowth during the forecast period.

Automotive suspension system Industry Developments

In November 2023, Porsche introduced two unique high-performance sedans - the newly designed Panamera third generation with a powerful hybrid engine and the fully electric Taycan. Indeed, there is still a high level of demand for the Panamera with a combustion engine. Although Porsche refers to this as a new vehicle, the third generation is not entirely new. Nevertheless, notable modifications have been implemented to the chassis, including the introduction of a completely redesigned suspension system. Additionally, the vehicle now features powerful hybrid engines, and both the inside and exterior have undergone comprehensive updates. According to Porsche experts, the significant advancement of this new model lies in its ability to simultaneously provide improved levels of dynamic performance and enhanced levels of dynamic comfort. Furthermore, it is abundantly filled with cutting-edge technology, designed to cater to the needs of luxury car consumers, and possesses the necessary capabilities to provide an exceptional driving experience. Although the car's low-slung silhouette remains identical to the previous model, the most noticeable feature are the headlights, which resemble the eyes of a frog. This wide intake is positioned both above and below the bumper line, contributing to the Panamera's distinctive new appearance. Equally intriguing are the vertical blades positioned behind the headlights, which effectively manipulate the airflow.

In March 2024, Li Auto revealed that the 2024 versions of the L7 and L8 will incorporate continuous damping control (CDC) sports suspension systems, following the naming convention of the Air models. The L7 would be priced at RMB 301,800 (USD 42,000) and the L8 at RMB 321,800 (USD 44,760). Both new models are slated to be released in May of this year and will commence delivery. Concurrently, modifications will be implemented to the 2024 L7 and L8 model series, changing their designations from Air, Pro, and Max to Pro, Max, and Ultra, correspondingly. The designation of the 2024 L9 Max will be changed to L9 Ultra to reflect the adjustment. According to insiders at Li Auto, during the preparation for the upgraded models last year, the CDC suspension configuration was already adjusted to achieve a greater price reduction without causing a major decrease in the brand's value. Despite Li Auto's updated setups and major improvements, their prices are not competitive in the current market when automotive manufacturers are generally adding features and cutting prices for new cars.

February 2021 Magneti Marelli SpA expanded its suspension products range with the addition of air suspension. The new range includes air springs, hydraulic-gas shock absorbers, and air struts for key SUVS and car applications covering the high-end and premium segments of the European market.
