Automotive Shock Absorber Market: Overview

  • The global automotive shock absorber market is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~5% between 2024 and 2027
  • Economic growth witnessed across Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa is increasing per capita income of the population, which in turn is anticipated to boost vehicle sales across countries in the regions mentioned above. This, in turn, is propelling the global automotive shock absorber market.

Drivers of Automotive Shock Absorber Market

  • Rapid rise in the middle class population in Asia Pacific is estimated to drive the automotive industry and in turn boost the demand for shock absorbers. Asia Pacific is a dynamic region given the large domestic consumer base and low manufacturing cost, making it a lucrative region for export supplies. China, India, Japan, and South Korea have attracted auto production that was earlier concentrated in Western countries. High rate of vehicle production in Asia Pacific is the primary driver of the global shock absorber market.
  • Increased penetration of advanced shock absorbers, such as active shock absorbers and shock absorbers with electric motor and pump and continuous damping control valves, is further boosting the automotive shock absorber market
  • Total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is increasing at a steady pace, globally. Per capita VMT is rising as well. A vehicle is prone to wear & tear, especially shock absorbers, which leads to the replacement of shock absorbers at regular intervals and fuels the VMT and more kilometers covered by the vehicle. This, in turn, is anticipated to increase the replacement of shock absorbers around the globe.

Challenges for Automotive Shock Absorber Market

  • Manufacturers recommend replacing shock absorbers every 50,000 miles; however, several customers prolong shock absorber replacement, which hampers the aftermarket segment
  • It is recommended that shock absorbers be replaced in pairs, i.e., each axle be equipped with a new set of shock absorbers due to wear and tear, leakage or ineffective damping. Replacement of shock absorbers in pairs ensures proper ride handling and safety. However, due to high cost associated in replacing two shock absorbers, consumers generally replace only one, which hampers the sale of aftermarket shock absorbers.

Automotive Shock Absorber Market: Segmentation

  • Based on OEM, the passenger vehicle segment held a leading share of the global automotive shock absorber market in 2019. Consumers are increasingly opting for a personal vehicle over commercial transport vehicles, subsequently increasing sale of passenger vehicles. Furthermore, as automakers have reduced the prices of vehicles in order to reduce the losses occurred during global slowdown of automobile industry in 2018 and 2019. This, in turn, is anticipated to increase the sale of vehicles globally, subsequently propelling the expansion of the global automotive shock absorber market.
  • Based on aftermarket, the passenger vehicle segment held a dominant share of the global market. Shock absorbers undergo wear & tear and require periodic replacement post 50,000 miles. Rise in consumer awareness about periodic replacement and expansion of aftermarket retailers and dealers are anticipated to further propel the demand for aftermarket shock absorbers. Furthermore, shocks and struts are generally replaced and recommended to be replaced in pairs on the same axle. This, in turn, further propels the demand for shock absorbers in the aftermarket.

Automotive Shock Absorber Market: Regional Analysis

  • In terms of region, Asia Pacific is anticipated to lead the global automotive shock absorber market by the end of the forecast period. Asia Pacific accounted for nearly 48% share of the global market in 2019. Expansion of the auto industry in Japan, India, China, and South Korea has contributed to the strong position of Asia Pacific in the global market. China is a prominent aftermarket for the automotive industry and has well-established network of suppliers. India is a notable manufacturer and exporter of shock absorbers and struts.
  • Europe is expected to follow Asia Pacific, in terms of revenue, in the global automotive shock absorber market. Presence of major automakers in Europe in conjunction with agreements between OEMs and automakers for uninterrupted supply is creating a sophisticated supply chain in the region. All these factors are anticipate to propel the automotive shock absorber market in Europe.
