Increased awareness surrounding automobile safety is becoming a crucial topic due to the proliferation of information through various media channels and the efforts of safety advocacy groups. The increased awareness is translating into stronger demand for vehicles with the latest safety technologies, including active seat belt systems. Moreover, people are getting to know more about the advantages of today's high-level safety tech and they are seeking this equipment while purchasing new vehicles, thereby active seat belt system market growth. Safety is important not just at an individual level but it also impacts insurance prices and resale value, encouraging proactive features to be embraced and aiding in the rise of the market. In January 2024, ZF Passive Safety Systems unveiled its new seat belt system that helps to reduce the consequences.
Government Regulations and Safety Standards
Government regulations and safety standards serve as a key factor to support the growth of the market. Stringent safety norms levied by regulatory bodies in different geographies are necessitating the deployment of novel restraint systems in vehicles. These rules are designed to make road travel safe and reduce fatalities and severe injuries caused by road crashes. Because automotive manufacturers are required to maintain these standards, the integration of active seat belt systems into vehicles is increasing in order to comply with regulatory standards. These factors collectively contribute towards the stability in demand for active seat belt technologies that are used to prevent accidents and drive a safer driving environment, improving the global active seat belt system market value. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways introduced the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (BNCAP) in India to maintain the safety of passenger cars. It further stated that from October 2023, the manufacturer or importer of motor vehicles would submit an application in FORM 70A to get their motor vehicle examined and assessed for star rating in accordance with AIS:197.
ACTIVE SEAT BELT SYSTEM MARKET SEGMENTATION:
Breakup by Component:
- Retractors
- Pretensioners
- Buckle Lifters
Pretensioners account for the majority of the market share
Pretensioners hold the biggest market segment. These are the components created to fix seat belts instantly at the moment when discovered in an accident, avoiding forward movement by the vehicle occupant and improving the general effectiveness of the security device. Pretensioners are credited for providing a major boost to safety in crashes by reducing the movement of the occupant and, hence, lowering the risk of injuries. The widespread adoption of pretensioners is driven by their proven safety benefits, technological advancements that enhance their responsiveness, and regulatory requirements that mandate their inclusion in new vehicles. Consequently, pretensioners are becoming increasingly common in contemporary cars.
Breakup by Application:
- Passenger Cars
- Light Commercial Vehicles
- Heavy Commercial Vehicles
Passenger cars hold the largest share of the industry
The passenger car segment is holding the biggest market share. Rising production volume combined with high penetration of safety technologies in passenger cars is likely to increase the purchase of these vehicles. The preference for active seat belt systems in passenger cars is likely to grow due to the growing awareness regarding vehicle safety, regulatory compulsions, and escalation in the deployment of advanced standard safety features in the new models. As people prioritize safety in their purchasing decisions, manufacturers are incentivized to equip passenger cars with the latest restraint systems. For example, in 2023, Maruti models planned to offer electronic stability control (ESC) and seat belt reminders for all seats.
Breakup by Sales Channel:
- OEMs
- Aftermarket
OEMs represent the leading market segment
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) hold the biggest market share driven by the integration of advanced safety systems in new vehicles during the manufacturing process. They play a crucial part in ensuring that seat belt systems meet the latest safety standards and regulatory requirements, incorporating advanced technologies to enhance occupant protection. The focus on providing comprehensive safety packages as part of the standard or optional equipment in new vehicles propels the demand for active seat belt systems in this segment. Additionally, OEMs benefit from economies of scale, enabling them to incorporate these systems cost effectively across a wide range of vehicle models. The emphasis on vehicle safety as a key selling point, coupled with stringent safety regulations, ensures that OEMs continue to improve the active seat belt system market revenue.
