The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Prioritizing of safety systems by OEMs, buyers, and regulatory bodies

The increasing public awareness of vehicle safety is rising the need for standard fitment in vehicles in addition to frontal and curtain airbags. The government is implementing crash test rating to provide various benefits to automobile manufacturers, customers, and vendors.  These ratings are published by various government and non-government portals such as NHTSA, Euro NCAP, and ASEAN NCAP. The manufacturers are awarded safety certifications after clearing the tests, and this helps them attract more consumers. The various safety standards are based on an assessment done for pedestrian protection, occupant protection, and child protection systems.

Ensuring in-vehicle safety against fatalities due to vehicle rollover and side impacts

Airbag devices are designed to reduce fatalities during collisions and are attached to steering panels, front instrument panels, and sides of car doors. Several OEMs have also introduced curtain airbags that are mounted on the top of doors and roofs that protect passengers during side collisions and rollovers. The market is primarily driven by the rise in public concerns and awareness around vehicular safety.

Market dynamics for added safety features

The vendors are launching innovations and advanced technologies that cover the areas of safety, performance, and design as a strategy to differentiate products and to raise their market shares. The manufacturers are launching anti-lock braking systems that are designed to enhance the safety of the vehicles.
