Market Highlights

The global Automotive Airbag Sensor market is accounted to register a CAGR of 6.36% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 6.09 billion by 2032.

The primary factor driving the market for air bag sensors is the demand for airbags used in trucks and light commercial vehicles (LCV). As the number of deadly accidents rises, so does the necessity for airbags in automobiles. For instance, according to the organisation for safe international road travel, 3,287 people die in traffic-related incidents every day. Automobile manufacturers are focusing on integrating safety elements in their models of automobiles in order to increase facilities for people's safety. For instance, the German auto part manufacturer ZF Friedrichshafen AG announced that the European automaker will get knee airbags by 2019.

Segment Analysis

The global automotive airbag sensor market has been segmented based types, mode of sensors, types of sensors, and application.

On the basis of types, the market is segmented into side, knee, rear, and front. The front segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022, and it is projected that it would keep that position throughout the forecast period. The high frontal airbag penetration rate in passenger cars explains this.

Based on mode of sensors, the global automotive airbag sensor market has been segmented into mechanical and electrical. In 2022, the electrical category held the largest market share as a result of technological advancements in the types of sensors used in new generation cars.

Based on types of sensors, the global automotive airbag sensor market has been segmented into accelerometer, impact, pressure, tachometers, brake sensors, and gyroscopes. The impact category dominated the global Automotive Airbag Sensor market in 2022 as a result of growing consumer awareness of the value of child and passenger safety in automobiles.

Based on application, the global automotive airbag sensor market has been segmented into cars, motor bikes, air planes, spacecraft, and military. The cars category held the largest global market share in 2022. This is due to an increase in fatalities and injuries from front-end collisions. Government regulations aimed at improving driving safety are also expected to aid market expansion during the projection period.
