Active Seat Belt System Market Research, 2030
The global active seat belt system market was valued at $11.9 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $22.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2021 to 2030.
The active seat belts are similar to traditional seat belts however with advanced technology that automatically detect threats, such as collisions, and tighten the seat belt to provide better safety precautions. These seat belts are connected with a pre-crash electronic control unit (ECU), installed in the vehicle, or directly attached to pretensioners. The pretensioners are tuned with specific movements of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the functioning of active seat belts. The active seat belt system is activated by using data from various safety features, such as electronic stability control or brake assist systems, integrated into the vehicle. It is widely used in vehicles to ensure the safety of its occupants on the sudden application of brakes or crashes.
At present, governments worldwide are increasingly focusing on implementing regulations that demand the development and incorporation of safety systems integrated with sensor systems and cameras in automobiles to improve overall safety of vehicle & passengers. For instance, in 2019, Hyundai Mobis launched a new safety technology integrated with ECUs for both electronic seatbelts & airbags that protect passengers through interworking with the autonomous driving sensor. Moreover, this safety system keeps the occupant fastened to their seat and avoids fatal injuries that may result from collision or toppling of the vehicle. Thus, modification & adoption of improved technology drives the growth of the active seat belt system market in the forecast period.
Factors such as increased consumer awareness towards automotive safety, rise in automotive safety norms, and high demand for luxury vehicles foster the growth of the active seat belt system market. However, the high cost of active seat belts hinders the global development of the active seat belt system market. Furthermore, biosensors as an input source for future active seat belt systems and a rise in passenger vehicle registration are the significant factors anticipated to provide a remarkable growth opportunity for the players operating in the market.
The active seat belt system market is segmented on the basis of component, application, sales channel, and region. By component, the market is categorized into retractors, pretensioners, and buckle lifters. By application, the market is bifurcated into passenger cars, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicles. By sales channel, the market has been segmented into original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia–Pacific, and LAMEA.
The major companies profiled in the active seat belt system market report include Autoliv Inc., Continental AG, DENSO Corporation, Far Europe Inc., GWR Safety Systems, Hyundai Mobis, ITW Safety, JOYSON, TOKAIRIKA, CO, LTD., and ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
Increase in consumer awareness toward automotive safety
Road accidents are a significant concern worldwide, especially when driving on roads with heavy traffic & terrible weather conditions. According to World Health Organization, nearly 1.25 million people die in road accidents each year. Over the past few years, the lifestyle of the consumers has become hectic with unfavorable driving protocols witnessed, such as surfing, messaging, and speaking on the phone while driving, which eventually results in automotive accidents. However, to improve the overall vehicle safety to reduce the number of collisions, governments worldwide are increasingly focusing on implementing regulations that demand the development and incorporation of safety systems integrated with sensor systems and cameras in the automobile. This will increase the demand for active seat belt systems, which will help the market to grow in the coming years. In addition, in 2019, Hyundai Mobis launched a new safety technology integrated with ECUs for both electronic seatbelts & airbags that protect passengers through interworkingwith the autonomous driving sensor. Thus, passenger vehicle registration and increased consumer awareness towards automotive safety are expected to drive the active seat belt system market.
Surge in automotive safety norms
The vehicle's safety plays a crucial role in averting the crash or reducing the impact. Hence, vehicles equipped with such safety standards are least likely to cause significant injury to the occupants. Furthermore, the automotive industry is at its tipping point with increased urbanization, ever-evolving developments of automotive advancements, customer demand for connectivity, and the transitions of vehicles to electric vehicles. Thus, the automotive industry is set to transform with changing market dynamics and increased safety norms. In 2020, the Finance Ministry of India proclaimed a $266 billion stimulus package to revive and lift the automotive industry's decline. In India, according to Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP) program, from April 2021, front passenger airbags have become mandatory for every vehicle sold in India, driver and co-driver seat belt alarms must be active till the seats are occupied, and speed warning systems are activated at two levels; at the vehicle exceeding the speed of 80km/hr and 120km/hr. Thus, the modification & implementation of automotive safety norms drive the active seat belt system market.
High cost of active seat belts
Though active seat belts provide more features such as pretension, buckle lift, and enhanced safety over passive seat belts, their cost is high compared to passive seat belts. In addition, a skilled workforce is required to install the active seat belt system. These factors restrain the active seat belt system market.
Rise in the passenger vehicle registration
The automotive industry is racing toward a new world with growing sustainability, changing consumer behavior, encompassing electric vehicles, connected cars, mobility fleet sharing, and improving lifestyles. In June 2021, the passenger car registrations in the European Union increased by 10% compared to last year's same month. Furthermore, the demand for Special Utility Vehicles (SUVs) has surged recently due to the increased leisure and tour activities globally. In February 2022, Tata Motors announced the sale of passenger vehicles rose by 47% in the domestic market. In addition, the governments are putting pressure on the passenger car manufacturers to produce efficient and low-emission vehicles, which have intensely pressurized the latter to engage in research and development works. Thus, electric and hybrid passenger vehicles are catching the market due to their fuel efficiency and low emission. Hence, the demand for fuel-efficient passenger vehicles creates ample opportunities for active seat belt market expansion.
