The automotive air suspension market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The automotive air suspension market has experienced solid growth in recent years. It will rise from $7.06 billion in 2024 to $7.57 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
This growth is driven by rising consumer demand for vehicle comfort and safety, increased miles driven, the growing demand for heavy commercial vehicles, and higher demand for premium and luxury vehicles.
The automotive air suspension market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The automotive air suspension market is expected to grow to $9.94 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.0%.
The growth drivers include favorable government policies, the rise in preference for electronically controlled air suspension systems, the increasing production of vehicles, and more off-road recreational activities. Trends include the adoption of electronically controlled suspension, lightweight components, modular designs, and regenerative air suspension technologies.
The growing demand for commercial vehicles is expected to spur the growth of the automotive air suspension market. Commercial vehicles, used for transporting goods or passengers for business purposes, are in high demand due to economic activity and evolving industry needs. Automotive air suspension systems improve vehicle functionality, comfort, safety, and durability, making them ideal for applications ranging from urban deliveries to heavy-duty transport. In May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported a 5.7% increase in global motor vehicle production in 2022, reaching 85.4 million units. This rise in commercial vehicle demand is driving the growth of the automotive air suspension market.
