Top 10 Companies in the Global Automotive Airbag Inflator Market

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the global automotive airbag inflator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.80% in the forecast period of 2025-2034. The market for automotive airbag inflators is propelled by the rise in accidents caused by careless driving and rising safety concerns, both of which have led to an increase in demand for increased safety through airbags. 

The market for automotive airbag inflators is expected to be driven by increased regulatory standards for vehicle safety as well as a global increase in automotive safety consciousness. The development of the market is also being heavily influenced by the strict regulations by various governments that demand automakers install airbags in every car to lower fatalities. For instance, in order to make new passenger automobiles safer, the Indian government made dual airbags a requirement starting on April 1, 2021. 

Additionally, it is predicted that the automotive airbag inflator market would grow during the forecast period due to advancements in airbag technologies. The introduction of more airbags per vehicle, along with increased side-impact and curtain airbag penetration and vehicle production, are the key drivers of the automotive airbag inflator market's expansion. 

Due to its many advantages over traditional pyrotechnic airbag inflators, the hybrid category is driving the market growth for automotive airbag inflators. Higher performance tailoring capacity, lower exhaust gas temperature, reliable airbag deployment over temperature variation, reduced airborne particulates or gaseous effluents, higher thermodynamic efficiency, and higher bag fill capacity are some of the superior characteristics of hybrid airbag inflators that are stimulating the automotive airbag inflator market expansion.
