The automotive airbags and seatbelts market was valued at US$ 53,744.00 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 1,11,917.12 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 11.8% from 2022 to 2028.
The key players in the automotive airbags and seatbelts market are expected to have lucrative opportunities in the coming years, owing to the growing initiatives for introducing regulatory standards related to vehicle safety. After the COVID-19 pandemic, a sharp increase in car sales and a significant rise in traffic accidents have become increasingly frequent and severe. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, automotive technology has also been rapidly improved, and automotive safety technology has gradually become involved in all aspects of the car. As per the report published by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the traffic fatalities in 2021 had shown an increase of about 10.5% compared to reported fatalities in 2020. The estimated fatalities are the highest since 2005 and the largest annual percentage increase in the US's Fatality Analysis Reporting System’s history. Thus, the government agencies strongly emphasized on improving safety policies and standards, along with significant investment in reducing road accidents. For instance, in May 2022, the NHTSA approved US$ 740 million in funding for the 402 State and Community Grant Program, Section 1906 Racial Profiling Data Collection Grants, and Section 405 National Priority Safety Program. The European Commission is working on framing the regulatory standards for motor vehicles considering the safety of vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users. The European Commission planned to adopt updated UNECE regulations on seatbelts that requires seatbelt reminder systems in all front and rear seats on new cars from September 2019. Thus, such initiatives for introducing regulatory standards related to vehicle safety fuel the automotive airbags and seatbelts market growth.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles is the future trend in the automotive airbags and seatbelts market. As per the Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, sales of electric cars, including fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, increased in 2021 to a new record of 6.6 million units. As per the same report, in China, electric car sales increased significantly in 2021 to 3.3 million, accounting for about half of the total global sales. EV sales also grew strongly in Europe by 65% to 2.3 million units, and sales in the US doubled to 630,000 units in 2021. In addition, supportive government regulations for electric vehicle charging stations further propel electric vehicle sales, thereby driving the demand for automotive airbags and seatbelts market. For instance, in June 2022, the US government proposed new standards for its program to build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2030. Furthermore, the government had introduced a plan to allocate US$ 5 billion to states to fund EV chargers by 2028. Thus, such growth prospects in EV industry is anticipated to drive the automotive airbags and seatbelts market over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Automotive Airbags and Seatbelts Market
The COVID-19 outbreak dramatically impacted the global economy during its peak in 2020 in its initial days, and the crisis hampered the business activities in manufacturing industries. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, there were significant investment initiatives in developing electric vehicles to strengthen the demand for automotive airbags and seatbelts. During the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the crisis significantly restricted all business deals, collaborations, and partnerships that disrupted the automotive airbags and seatbelts market. The emergence of the pandemic hampered the sales of vehicles in February 2020; furthermore, the sales dropped by 47% in the US and 80% in Europe by April. As per a report by Statista, global car sales dropped to 63.8 million in 2020 and registered a slow recovery in 2021 with 66 million sales. From 2021, market players witnessed mandatory regulations for deploying a specific number of airbags which incurs costs. This forced the car manufacturers to provide cars with added features of airbags and seatbelts at the same cost during the pandemic recovery period. The COVID-19 pandemic swiftly and severely impacted the globally integrated automotive industry. The pandemic disrupted the Chinese parts exports, large-scale manufacturing interruptions across Europe, and the closure of assembly plants in the US. All these factors are causing the automotive industry to decline in global demand for automotive vehicles. The COVID-19pandemic forced businesses to restructure their business models and strengthen strategies to achieve economies of scale. Therefore, although the global airbags and seatbelts market plummeted initially in 2020 due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related regulations, it achieved a strong recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.
