Airbag Fabric Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Airbags play a vital role in protecting drivers and passengers of any automobile during an accident or sudden impact. Airbags are a part of the primary safety mechanism incorporated in most automobiles. Airbags inflate during a sudden impact and help avoid any direct injury to the passengers. Airbags are made from highly advanced materials, which can withstand the sudden inflation of a gas without rupturing during the process. Airbags are made of several materials which are impermeable to gas; however, Nylon 6,6 is the preferred choice of fabric for airbags. Airbags are also made of aramid fabric; however, the cost of aramid is substantially high and hence, it is reserved for niche applications. The fabric used for airbags needs to exhibit two critical properties: high tensile strength and very low gas permeability. Moreover, it also need to possess elasticity, light weight or low specific density, and fatigue resistance.
The airbag
fabric market is primarily driven by automotive sales and is largely
depends on the production of vehicles. Rising consumer demand for cars and
vehicles due to easy available finance options and increasing disposable income
are indirectly driving the demand for airbag fabrics. The global sales of
automobiles in 2016 was 93.85 million units, which was 4.7% higher than 2015.
Such noticeable growth is anticipated to propel the demand for airbag fabrics
in the near future. Along with automotive, aerospace is also a small but
emerging application. Unlike automobile airbags, airbags used in aircrafts are
located near the seatbelts, as a safety measure to protect an aircraft’s
passengers in case of a crash landing. Moreover, evacuation slides, which work
on a similar technology, are also incorporated in an aircraft. The fabric does
not have any direct substitutes, as no alternative technology has been developed
to replace the airbags.

Based on type of airbag fabric, the
market is segmented as coated fabrics and non-coated fabrics. Non-coated airbag
fabrics are widely utilized and account for more than 90% share of the market.
However, for specific applications such as driver side airbag, coated fabrics
are essentially used. Based on material, the airbag fabric market is segmented
into nylon 6, 6, aramid, polyester filament, and others. Nylon 6, 6 is the most
widely used material in the manufacture of airbags. Nylon 6, 6 is a versatile
material, it is highly impermeable to gases, has high tensile strength, a
melting point of 260 °C, and is mostly economical. Aramid airbags are
prominently utilized for applications such as lifting loads and is seldom used
as a safety airbag fabric in automotive. Based on application, the airbag
fabric market is segmented into driver airbag module, passenger airbag module,
side-impact module, pedestrian protection module, and others. Based on end-user
industry, the airbag fabric market is segregated into automotive, aerospace,
and others. Automotive is a key end-user industry for airbag fabrics.

In terms of geography, the global
airbag fabric market can be segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America,
Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe are
anticipated to be the key regions of the airbag fabric market. High focus on
passenger and pedestrian safety coupled with stringent standards on automotive
safety in these regions makes Europe and North America prominent markets for
airbag fabrics. Followed by Europe and North America, Asia Pacific is also a
potential market for airbag fabrics, the region has substantial sales of
automobiles; thus, creating elevated demand for the same. Japan, China, and
India are prominent countries and witness significant automobile sales.
Furthermore, several major automotive manufacturers namely Toyota, Hyundai,
Maruti Suzuki, SAIC, and Tata have their manufacturing plants in the region.
