Global Shock Absorber Market Growth

The industry expansion of automotive sector, specifically in emerging markets, is a one of the major factors propelling the global shock absorber market demand. Growing urbanisation, enhanced infrastructure, and increasing purchasing power in developing economies drive the demand for vehicles, leading to the increased need for shock absorbers. Moreover, the growing emphasis on comfort and ride quality is expected to increase the demand for sophisticated shock absorbers.

Global Shock Absorber Market Analysis

Innovations in materials and designs as well as manufacturing processes have led to the development of more efficient and durable shock absorbers. These advancements highlight enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and comfort, serving the evolving demands of consumers, ensuring continued shock absorber industry growth.

In recent years, there has been significant growth in demand for comfort in the driving experience like handling, seating, and aerodynamics. This has led to increased need for improved shock absorbers, which improve vehicle stabilization. Automobile manufacturers are also integrating new comforting aspects into their vehicles, such as stability and reduced impact from bumps or speed breakers, which pushes the growth of the shock absorber market.

Global Shock Absorber Industry Outlook

According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, global vehicle production increased significantly from 77,438,570 units in 2020 to 93,546,599 units in 2023, which has had a considerable impact on the growth of the shock absorber market. The shock absorbers are one of the most important components of any car suspension system that provides comfort and stability on the road. Increased vehicle production in various regions, particularly in Asia-Oceania and America, generated demand for the component.

In Europe, vehicle production increased from 16,692,847 units in 2020 to 18,122,449 units in 2023 and depicted a stable regional demand for shock absorbers. The same case is expected of the American output, which increased from 15,692,927 units in 2020 to 19,136,891 units in 2023, thereby fuelling the North American shock absorber market. Of these, Asia-Oceania registered the maximum growth, as numbers increased from 44,276,549 units in 2020 to 55,115,837 units in 2023. Encouraged by the high volumes in vehicle production, demand for shock absorbers grew.

The LCV market grew from 16,990,857 in 2020 to about 21,441,715 in 2023. This is important for the shock absorber market since LCVs usually require heavy-duty suspension systems, including quality shock absorbers, due to more loads and dynamic changes in driving conditions. Rising output in America and Asia-Oceania has boosted demand, with production statistics reaching 13,299,671 and 5,611,657 units, respectively.

Another driver is the rising electric vehicle market. EV sales have been quite encouraging, mainly in China and Australia. In the first quarter of 2024, nearly 3.5 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide, with close to 1.9 million being sold in China. The unusual distribution of weight and different layouts for batteries in EVs mean that their suspension requirements differ and are likely to increase demand for specialist shock absorbers.
