Dublin, Sept. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Air Suspension Market by Component (Air Spring, Compressor, ECU, Tank, Solenoid Valve, Height & Pressure Sensor), Technology (Electric, Non-Electric), Cab Suspension, Vehicle Type (Rigid, Semi-trailers), Aftermarket & Region - Global Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global Air Suspension Market is expected to grow from USD 10 billion in 2024 to USD 13.9 billion by 2030, it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% in the forecast period. There is a rise in demand for heavy vehicles in the APAC and North American markets owing to economic growth, infrastructural developments, and e-commerce activities. According to OICA, the production of trucks in North America has increased from 388,244 units in 2020 to 562,244 units in 2023, at a growth rate of 45% from 2020 to 2023. This growing production of trucks will directly impact the demand for air suspension systems. 
Most heavy trucks are equipped with air suspension systems because trucks often carry heavy and variable loads, which can significantly affect the truck's stability and handling. Air suspension systems in trucks automatically regulate the ride height and stiffness according to the load, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Further, air suspension systems require ample space, and trucks are well-suited for installing air suspension systems. Thus, the demand for heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks and buses, will rise in the coming years.
In addition to this, the demand for premium vehicles has continuously grown in developed and developing countries with increasing disposable income, improving infrastructure, rising brand awareness, and growing competition among OEMs to offer enhanced features. Some premium cars, mainly from Class E& F segments, are fitted with air suspension systems for better ride and comfort. This will subsequently prompt the growth of the air suspension market in the passenger vehicle segment.
During the forecast period, North America is expected to hold the 2nd largest market share in the air suspension system market
The North American automotive industry consists of developed economies in Canada, the US, and Mexico, dominated by established OEMs such as Tesla, Inc. (US), Ford Motor Company (US), and General Motors (GM) (United States). North America accounted for the largest market for heavy commercial vehicle demand.
According to OICA, the sales of heavy commercial vehicles, including light commercial vehicles, buses & coaches, and trucks, increased from 13.19 million units in 2020 to 15.21 million units in 2023. General Motors, Ford Motor Company Ltd, Volvo Group, Freightliner Trucks, and PACCAR are some OEMs for North American heavy commercial trucks and buses. These OEMs offer premium vehicle models in the North American market, such as Volvo VNL and VNR Series, Volvo 9700 bus, Freightliner Cascadia, and Freightliner 122SD. These premium models from these OEMs are fitted with electronically controlled air suspension systems.
Moreover, North America is a hub of the markets for premium and luxury vehicles, majorly equipped with air suspension systems as consumers of this region prioritize comfort, performance, and technological advancement, which makes all desire air suspensions. Commercial vehicles - trucks and buses - are also exceedingly well connected in North America. Air suspensions on public transit buses will also include load management, improve ride quality, and increase vehicle stability and safety.
North American automakers and suppliers are also state-of-the-art in the innovations of automotive technology; therefore, there is a strong integration of advanced systems such as electronic control over air suspension to make it better for the vehicle in terms of stability, comfort, and safety. Air suspensions are favored due to the variety of terrains across North America. These factors collectively boost the air suspension market in different vehicle segments.
