Side airbags are safety systems which tend to inflate in order to protect the passengers inside the vehicle in case of an accident involving the side portion of the car. Side airbags are also regarded as Side-impact air bags (SAB) in some parts of the world.
These safety systems inflate within fraction of a second and are designed to protect the passenger from serious injury. The side airbags come equipped with a sensor that helps them determine if the crash is severe enough for the airbags to inflate.
Side airbags are categorized in three types – Torso Side Airbag, Curtain Side Airbag and combo Side Airbag.
The Torso side airbag is installed either on the side of the seat or on the door panel. This type of side airbag inflates between the person and the door avoiding direct impact on the torso of the individual. Curtain side airbags are installed on the roof of the vehicle or mounted over the side windows.
These airbags deploy from the roof as a curtain thereby preventing any critical damage to the head. The third category is a combo side airbag. In comparison, these airbags are bigger than the torso side airbags and are designed to protect both torso and head of the passenger.
The imposition of stringent safety regulations by the government is expected to drive the growth for the side airbag market. In the US, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) established regulations for all vehicles to adopt curtain and side airbags. Similarly, in the Asia Pacific region, the Government of India has taken an initiative to promote road safety by mandating front air bags in all the vehicles from April 2021 onwards.
The increasing number of road accidents worldwide has raised a concern among the general people and the vehicle manufacturers. As a result, vehicle manufacturers have started offering more number of airbags in their vehicles.
In addition, many automobile manufacturers have been making heavy investments in the research and development of an advanced and affordable side airbag. The technological developments and increase in the awareness about safety is expected to increase the demand for side airbags.
The key restraint impacting the global side airbag market is the high replacement cost of the airbags. Similarly, the technologically advanced side airbags require a high cost of maintenance which is projected to hamper the growth of the market. In regions like United States and Canada, due to the high replacement cost, counterfeit airbag market is mushrooming all over North America which is a major restraint for the market growth.

On the basis of product type, Curtain airbags have gained more prominence because of their ability to decrease head and neck injuries. Curtain airbags work as a cushion by inflating between the person and the vehicle’s door in case of a side-impact crash.
In the situation of a rollover, curtain airbags stay in place and protect the individual from getting expelled from the vehicle. Besides, torso side airbags and combo side airbags are also expected to propel the growth of the market.
On the basis of vehicle type, curtain airbags are primarily deployed in premium cars and SUVs, providing protection to all the seating rows. With growing safety standards throughout the world, curtain airbags are likely to witness growth in other car segments as well.
The side airbag market in Europe and North America is anticipated to experience remarkable growth. The primary factors for growth in these regions is the safety regulations imposed by the government agencies. Advancement in technology and growth in consumer acceptance is also a growth driver for the side airbag market in these regions.
Asia Pacific is also expected to witness a healthy growth. The rapid increase in the production and sales of vehicles in developing economies like India and China is anticipated to increase the growth of the market. Moreover, the increase in luxury vehicle sales and the growing awareness among customers regarding vehicle safety is also likely to boost the side airbag market in the APAC region.
The global market for side airbags is projected to experience a strong growth trend. The growth can be attributed to factors like growing safety regulations and rise in demand of safer vehicles by the customers.
Leading vehicle manufacturers have been making significant investments in development of advanced and improved side airbags. The side airbags market is experiencing a steady growth and has a great scope for expansion in developing economies.
