The air suspension market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The air suspension market is set to grow from $6.61 billion in 2024 to $7.08 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.2%.
The growth is linked to the automotive industry's expansion, the demand for more comfort in vehicles, performance enhancement needs, and rising demand for luxury vehicles.
The air suspension market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The air suspension market is forecast to reach $9.23 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.9%.
The growth is attributed to increasing vehicle electrification, regulatory standards, greater demand for commercial vehicles, rising vehicle safety regulations, and increased R&D investments. Trends include demand for lightweight air suspension systems, advanced technology adoption, and integration with autonomous vehicles.
The increasing demand for commercial vehicles is expected to fuel the growth of the air suspension market. Commercial vehicles, which transport goods or passengers, are seeing higher demand due to expanding economic activities and the need for better transportation solutions. Air suspension systems offer superior ride comfort and reduce driver fatigue, making them essential for long-distance, heavy-load commercial vehicles. These systems also enhance fuel efficiency. In 2023, the International Energy Agency reported global sales of 66,000 electric buses and 60,000 medium and heavy-duty trucks in 2022, representing a notable portion of worldwide sales. Thus, the growing demand for commercial vehicles is boosting the air suspension market.
