Regulatory developments are also encouraging manufacturers to adopt advanced safety systems. The European Commission has worked on updated UNECE regulations concerning seatbelts, including requirements for seatbelt reminder systems in front and rear seats of new cars. Such regulatory initiatives are contributing to demand for airbags and seatbelts.
Airbag Technology Developments
The market is segmented by airbags type into front, knee, side, and curtain airbags. The front segment accounted for the largest market share, at 71.1%, in 2021. Frontal airbag systems are increasingly used for driver safety, while side airbags are being adopted by manufacturers to help reduce chest injuries during side-impact incidents.
Technological developments are also supporting innovation in occupant protection. For example, Autoliv introduced a front-center airbag designed to be positioned between the driver and front-seat passenger. The system is intended to reduce the risk of chest, shoulder, and head injuries during side-impact collisions.
Seatbelt and Vehicle Segments
By seatbelts type, the market is segmented into 2-point and 3-point seatbelts. The 3-point segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth, with a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period. The report highlights the advantages of three-point seatbelts and regulatory developments supporting their adoption.
By vehicle class, the market is divided into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Passenger cars accounted for the largest share, representing 80% of the market in 2021.
