Automotive Air Spring Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Convoluted bellows, Rolling lobe bellows, Sleeve bellows ), By Application (Passenger Cars., Commercial Vehicles.) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Air spring is a load-carrying component of an air suspension that is implemented on automobiles, machines and buses. An air spring bellows is a column of air confined within a fabric and rubber container that looks like a pair of car tires.  One of the major benefits of air springs is the increased comfort behind the wheels, the luxury vehicles implementing these air springs to improve the comfort and also to reduce the noise and vibrations. These springs are majorly implemented in Commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks.

The increased demand for luxury and shock absorbing commercial vehicles and increased adoption of automotive air springs by major OEMs are expected to drive the growth of the market. Also, the advantages such as reduction of noise and vibrations, versatility on the road and better fuel economy are anticipated to boost the market growth. However, the increased cost of the air spring system and higher maintenance costs are some of the major factors hampering the growth of the market. Also, the extensive use of suspension may cause malfunction and moisture damage from the inside, the leaks in mechanical leaks in air springs are expected to hinder the market growth.

Market Segmentation:

The global automotive air spring market is segmented by component, by application and by geography. Based on component the market is further sub-segmented into convoluted bellows, rolling lobe bellows, and sleeve bellows. Among these, the rolling lobe bellows segment is expected to account for the largest market share in the year 2020 and it is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The factors such as increased demand for rolling lobe bellows in trucks/buses because it reduces the tendency of short wheelbase trucks to experience a bounce in the terrains when the trucks/buses are empty. It also improves the riding height when the vehicles are loaded.

Based on application the market is segmented into passenger cars and commercial cars. The commercial cars segment accounted for the largest market share and it is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period with a steady CAGR. Factors such as increasing awareness of air suspensions benefits and shift of consumers towards luxury and comfortable and increased adoption of air suspension in light-duty vehicles are expected to drive the market growth.
