Why this matters now
Vehicle safety is no longer optional. Buyers expect advanced occupant protection, especially in EVs, SUVs, and luxury vehicles, where cabin layouts differ significantly from traditional combustion-engine designs. OEMs face increasing pressure to comply with EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) mandates, which include frontal, side, and pedestrian protection requirements. The aftermarket channel also plays a critical role, supporting replacement airbags, retrofits, and performance upgrades, ensuring continuous engagement with vehicle owners and fleet operators.
For manufacturers, predictable airbag deployment, material durability, and integration with vehicle electronics have become central to product strategy. Companies investing in ADAS-linked airbags, smart calibration libraries, and sustainable fabrics are positioned to capture the growing market share over the next decade.
