  Increasing global sales of both passenger and commercial cars is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for car bumpers is being driven by the increasing global sales of both passenger and commercial cars. The area of the automotive industry devoted to the creation, production, and retailing of bumpers for automobiles is known as the automotive bumper market. Installed on the front and back of cars, bumpers are vital safety and aesthetic elements. They fulfill several purposes. The main purpose of bumpers is to disperse and absorb impact energy during collisions. This minimizes damage and lowers the chance of injury, protecting the car and its occupants.

Additionally, global passenger and commercial vehicle sales are increasing, which is a major element driving demand for automotive bumpers in cars. Car bumpers contribute to pedestrian safety by offering a more cushioned and impact-absorbing surface in the event that a car collides with a pedestrian. Auto bumpers enhance a vehicle's overall look and style in addition to providing safety features. Bumpers are frequently used by automakers as focal points of an automobile's external design. Radar, parking, and camera sensors are just a few of the sensors and parts that modern car front bumpers frequently incorporate for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Advanced safety features in cars are in high demand due to customer awareness of vehicle safety increasing. Part of a car's overall safety system that is often overlooked is the front fascia. Strong bumpers that provide good passenger and pedestrian accident protection are what buyers look for in automobiles. Furthermore, a major selling factor these days is bumper integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like parking sensors, automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

For instance, strict guidelines for vehicle safety, including bumper performance in crash testing, are established by regulatory agencies like the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) in Europe and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States. Thus, result in driving the Car Bumpers market revenue.
