Japan Automotive Hydraulic Actuators Market Trends:

Adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Technology

The growing shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles in Japan is significantly influencing the automotive hydraulic actuators market. For instance, industry reports state that in 2023, Japan sold 11.9 million electric vehicles, marking an 8% increase from 2022. EVs made up 12.63% of total car registrations, with 3.45 million new EVs registered. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) led the market with 11.5 million units sold, followed by 207,865 plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and 165,083 battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The need for hydraulic actuators integrated with EV and hybrid systems is growing as automakers place a higher priority on creating more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient automobiles. These actuators are essential for precisely controlling parts like the steering, suspension, and braking systems. Automakers are integrating sophisticated hydraulic actuators into EV systems in an effort to improve overall performance and efficiency while upholding safety regulations. The market for hydraulic actuators in EVs and hybrids is expected to expand as manufacturers comply with environmental goals as a result of Japan's commitment to lowering carbon emissions.

Advancements in Autonomous Vehicle Technology

Advanced automotive hydraulic actuators are being more widely used as a result of Japan's continuous advancements in autonomous car technology. Hydraulic actuators are crucial for providing smooth, quick, and dependable operation since self-driving cars need high precision for a number of operations, including adaptive steering, braking, and suspension. By guaranteeing accurate changes in real time, these actuators aid in maximizing the vehicle's performance, which is essential for safety and autonomous navigation. Automotive manufacturers are progressively incorporating hydraulic actuators to improve the car's overall control systems, as Japan is a leader in autonomous vehicle technology. For instance, in September 2023, Marelli, with significant presence in Japan, unveiled a new range of smart actuators for EVs at the Battery Show North America 2023. These actuators simplify complex vehicle functions, helping manufacturers reduce integration complexity in both mechanical and electronic systems. Designed for hybrid and full EV transmission control, as well as battery EV thermal management, they offer modular, scalable, and customizable solutions. Features include compact size, lightweight design, and cybersecurity readiness. This trend highlights the growing need for hydraulic actuators in next-generation vehicles, supporting innovations in automated driving and improving passenger comfort and safety.
