Market Research Future Published a Cooked Research Report on Global Automotive Curtain Airbags Market Research Report.
The rising concerns related to automotive safety have played a major role in the development of automotive curtain airbags. Automotive curtain airbags are a particular type of side airbags which guard the head of the occupant in the event of an accident. They get instantaneously triggered when a side impact crash happens, and the airbags are deployed at the door rail above the window. Escalating incidences of road accidents globally have prompted a gradual rise in the demand for automotive curtain airbags. The market is anticipated to gross revenues worth USD 4,339.5 million while growing at a CAGR rate of 5.13 % CAGR approximately in the duration of the forecast period from 2017 to 2023.
Curtain airbags have been effective in limiting fatalities, particularly in the case of rollover and side collisions. As passive safety systems such as airbags play an important role in eliminating or limiting the damage caused to the driver, passengers, and pedestrians in the event of an accident, they are becoming an increasingly popular option to be incorporated in automobiles. The upsurge in the number of road accidents, leading to fatalities and severe injuries, has been a key reason for the extensive implementation of automotive passive safety systems. Thus, the demand for curtain airbags in low and compact vehicles especially is growing owing to the intensifying consumer awareness about the benefits of safety systems and improving road safety standards, together with increasing safety content per vehicle.
Over time, curtain airbags have proven to be far more superior to traditional airbags in case of rollover accidents as they utilize much more complex crash sensors. As a result, rollover accident activated side airbags which are traditionally designed to supplement seatbelts and decrease the risk of injury in case of ejection have improved in terms of their effectiveness while increasing the demand for the market. With major manufacturers in the automotive industry wanting to expand their customer base, across the globe, they are progressively leveraging additional safety features in their entry level vehicles to obtain a greater market share over time. Curtain airbags in vehicles significantly enhance the safety features offered to the customer, and hence are expected to see increased development in the duration of the forecast period. Moreover, governments across the globe have framed various regulations and introduced programs to create public awareness in the form of safety improvements initiatives from original equipment manufacturers which are expected to increase consumer confidence and indirectly boost the demand passive safety systems in the upcoming forecast period.
