The global airbag market is expected to reach $37.3 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2016 to 2022. In the global automotive industry, the demand for airbags is on a rapid increase. Rise in consumer awareness towards vehicle safety features and inclination towards the use of advanced technology to reduce the impact of accidents drive the market growth. In addition, increase in competition among car manufacturers to introduce advanced safety features contributes to increase in the demand for airbags. Increase in number of road accidents in India, China, and Indonesia has prompted the local governments to execute strict road safety regulations. This has resulted in the compulsory installation of airbags in automobiles being introduced in the market, which is anticipated to further fuel the market growth. However, inclusion of advanced technological features causes an increase in the cost of cars, thus inhibiting market growth. Moreover, once the airbags get deployed, their replacement costs are very high. The advanced safety features other than airbags, such as radars, cameras to detect potential danger, anti-crash sensors, driverless vehicles (robotics), and vehicles using GPS, are expected to impose a major threat to airbag manufacturers, thus impeding the market growth.

The production facility to manufacture airbags are present in developed nations, such as the U.S., Germany, and China. These countries have formulated favorable policies which are expected to facilitate the manufacturing of airbags. This factor provides opportunity to increase the growth rate of market, and thus allows manufacturers to set up industries at optimum capital investment and expand its presence worldwide. Innovations such as introduction of airbags in two wheelers is expected to boost this market. Most of the developing nations such as, India, China, South Africa, and Norway have introduced various schemes to establish the manufacturing industries. Thus, this presents an opportunity to the manufacturers to set up industries and increase the market size of their airbags industries.

The airbag market is segmented by module into inflator or gas generator and air bag, which is made up of fabric material. Further, the market is divided by type into front airbag, side airbag, knee airbag, and curtain airbag.
