세계의 에어 서스펜션 시장 예측 : 컴포넌트별, 차량별, 기술별, 최종 사용자별, 지역별 분석(-2030년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Air Suspension Market is accounted for $7.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $12.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension that uses air springs, or air bags, instead of traditional steel springs. It uses a compressor to adjust the ride height and firmness, providing a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Air suspension systems are commonly found in heavy-duty vehicles, luxury cars, and buses, where load handling and comfort are prioritized. The electronic sensors and control units in air suspension regulate air pressure within air bags, enhancing stability, reducing vibration, and improving fuel efficiency. Thus the main purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth and constant ride quality to drivers and passengers.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Enhanced vehicle comfort and ride quality

Air suspension systems are becoming more and more popular as a result of consumers' growing desire for comfort and luxury in automobiles. Buyers of luxury and high-end vehicles find these systems appealing since they reduce vibrations and absorb irregularities in the road. Moreover manufacturers find air suspension systems more appealing because of technological improvements including electronically controlled systems that provide changeable ride height and firmness, improving handling, stability, and passenger enjoyment which boosts the market growth.

Restraint:

Potential for air leaks and system failures

Air suspension system failures can lead to frequent repairs, increased costs, and extended downtime for owners. This can also reduce consumer confidence in air suspension technology, leading to a decline in demand. These air leaks can cause uneven ride height and reduced stability, potentially compromising safety at high speeds or adverse weather conditions. In addition severe cases, complete system failure can result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of accidents hampering the market growth.

Opportunity:

Increasing consumer expectations for smooth and comfortable vehicle ride

Consumers are increasingly demanding advanced air suspension systems for improved comfort and personalized features, such as adjustable ride height and stiffness. This demand is driven by the desire for superior ride quality and the ability to customize the driving experience, which in turn boosts market growth and encourages manufacturers to innovate and improve air suspension technology.

Threat:

Complex technology and maintenance requirements

Air suspension systems use sophisticated parts like sensors, ECUs, and solenoid valves, their production prices may go up, which could put off consumers on a tight budget and restrict their use in lower-end car segments. Furthermore, these systems need to be inspected and maintained on a regular basis, which includes monitoring for air leaks, maintaining the right pressure, and repairing components. This could put off prospective purchasers who would rather have low-maintenance solutions.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the automotive air suspension market, causing severe supply chain challenges and production halts. As logistics were affected, the availability of raw materials dwindled, leading to a downturn in manufacturing activities across the sector13. Despite these setbacks, demand for air suspension systems is projected to rebound as vehicle production resumes, particularly in luxury segments where comfort is prioritized.

The air springs segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The air springs segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period owing to its greater stability, reduced body roll, adjustable suspension, and improved ride quality, air springs are widely used. They provide buses, commercial trucks, and passenger cars a smoother ride by adapting to loads and road conditions, these technologies also affect market demand by improving handling and performance, especially when large loads or off-road situations are involved.

The electronically controlled air suspension segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the projection period, the electronically controlled air suspension segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR as they automatically modify suspension settings according to road conditions, vehicle load, and driving style, improving both performance and comfort. Additionally, especially in high-performance and luxury automobiles, they improve cornering stability, minimize body roll, and optimize dynamics in real-time to improve vehicle handling this integration is common in these markets and is generating demand for them.

Region with largest share:

The North America is region is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to North American regions safety regulations are driving manufacturers to adopt advanced suspension technologies, such as air suspension systems, to enhance safety and improve vehicle performance. Compliance with these regulations is a significant driver for adopting these technologies to integrate sustainable technologies which further boosts the market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest rate of growth during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is driving a notable increase in vehicle production in the Asia Pacific region, which includes China, India, and Japan. Air suspension systems are also helping heavy commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, by improving stability and ride comfort under various load scenarios. Thus as more manufacturers include these systems in their models, the market for air suspension is growing.
