Global Automotive Surge Absorber Market is valued at approximately USD 1.24 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.28% over the forecast period 2024-2032. An automotive surge absorber, also known as a surge protector or surge suppressor, serves as a critical component within vehicle electrical systems to shield sensitive electronic parts from voltage surges or spikes. These surges arising from factors like engine start-up, alternator operations, or external occurrences such as lightning, pose a risk to modern vehicles with their plethora of electronic systems. Surge absorbers are essential safeguards against voltage fluctuations that could otherwise harm sensors, control modules, and entertainment systems. Surge absorbers comprising metal oxide varistors (MOVs) or transient voltage suppressors (TVS diodes) maintain high resistance during normal operation but swiftly lower resistance when detecting a voltage surge. They divert excess energy harmlessly to the ground during a surge, preventing damage to electronics. These absorbers ensure comprehensive protection throughout the vehicle's electrical system strategically placed near critical components like batteries, alternators, and control modules. These functionalities drive market growth as surge absorbers continue to be integral components for safeguarding automotive electronics. The Automotive Surge Absorber Market is expanding because of factors such as the growing demand for vehicle safety and reliability and, the increasing integration of electronic systems and components in modern vehicles, coupled with stringent regulations and standards.
In addition, the soaring demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is acting as a catalyzing factor for market growth across the globe. According to Statista, in 2020, the production of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) was recorded at 2.9 million units around the world. Also, it is anticipated that the production of HEVs constantly rise and is expected to reach approximately 5.4 million by 2025. HEVs have complex electrical systems that are creating a significant demand for surge absorbers. These vehicles rely heavily on electronic components and require robust surge protection to ensure operational reliability. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the Automotive Surge Absorber Market during the estimated period. Moreover, the surging demand for smart and adaptive damping systems, as well as the increasing focus on enhanced ride comfort and vehicle handling present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the increasing complexity of electronic systems and the variability in voltage spikes are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The key regions considered for the Global Automotive Surge Absorber Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the surge in automobile production and sales in key countries like India, Japan, China, and South Korea. Also, the region's dominance is attributed to the rising integration of electronic components and systems in modern vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with advanced features such as touchscreen infotainment systems, navigation tools, smartphone connectivity, and advanced audio systems, making surge protection crucial for ensuring uninterrupted functionality. Whereas Europe is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years. The rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, government incentives for EVs, and increasing demand for enhanced ride comfort are significantly propelling the market demand across the region. Surge protectors are crucial in safeguarding the power electronics and delicate components found in these vehicles. Moreover, government authorities in Europe have reinforced vehicle evaluation systems, mandating manufacturers to meet stringent safety standards, further emphasizing the importance of surge protection. Additionally, there is a surge in sensor-based technologies within the automotive sector to comply with these safety standards. This trend is expected to drive the demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), consequently boosting the demand for surge absorbers during the forecast period.
