Automotive Bumpers Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The government regulations pertaining to vehicle bumpers are notably driving the automotive bumpers market growth, although factors such as increasing cost pressure for OEMs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive bumpers industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Bumpers Market Driver

Government regulations pertaining to vehicle bumpers are a major driver fueling the automotive bumpers market growth. Government regulations play a significant role in driving the production of automotive components. Governing bodies of various countries have implemented mandates to ensure that automotive bumpers do not increase damage, rather they absorb maximum impact. For instance, in 2018, the Government of India passed a regulation banning the use of modified vehicle bumpers. Passenger cars in various countries are forbidden to change or modify their stock-fitted automotive bumpers as the modified bumpers might interfere with the effectiveness in which the crumple zone was designed. This increases the chances of the accident's impact on the passenger cabin and may cause serious injury to the vehicle occupants. Additionally, governing bodies of developed regions, such as the US and European countries, have banned the use of metal bumpers within passenger cars, as they increase the intensity of injury to pedestrians. The rising stringency of government regulations regarding vehicle crash tests and vehicle crumple zone designs are expected to drive the adoption of denser automotive bumpers, which are lighter and strong.

Key Automotive Bumpers Market Trend

The development of smart automotive bumpers is a major trend influencing the automotive bumpers market growth. Technological advancement is a major strategy used by automotive manufacturers to develop automotive components with increased functionalities. Automotive manufacturers have developed smart automotive bumpers, which have an integrated radar, a front grill with the de-icing system, a lighting system based on flexible optical fibers, along with impact detection and absorption system. A smart bumper or intelligent bumper is a structure designed to absorb the impact of a road accident and offers protection through various pedestrian safety and driver assistance systems. Automotive OEMs are combining automatic braking systems with pneumatic bumpers that can decrease the amount of personal injury by absorbing a major portion of the force being transmitted to the passenger cabin. The rising penetration of advanced driver assist systems is causing vehicle makers to include smart bumpers as a part of the offering for protecting the relays, radars, cameras, and sensors integrated with the front part of vehicles.

Key Automotive Bumpers Market Challenge

Increasing cost pressure for OEMs is a major hindrance to the automotive bumpers market growth. The development of technology and new fabrics are increasing production costs borne by OEMs. The increasing competition among automotive manufacturers to gain a competitive advantage through product differentiation is forcing manufacturers to install side airbags in addition to frontal airbags. The deployment of side airbags is an addition to the volume of total airbags deployed per vehicle, which raises the procurement costs for OEMs. Adding side airbags is increasing the cost to OEMs from 50% to 70%. The adoption of curtain airbags increases the cost of the vehicle, which automotive OEMs cannot transfer to the buyers due to the increasing intensity of competition. Such factors decrease the profit margin of OEMs and suppliers as the pressure of reducing the cost of these airbags is distributed across the value chain. Hence, OEMs and suppliers should focus on reducing costs to capture a larger market base and remain competitive in the market. Thus, all these factors have the potential to impede the growth of the auto parts and equipment market during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the automotive bumpers market in APAC during the first half of 2020. The rising number of COVID-19 cases in the region compelled governments of various countries to restrict international trade and impose lockdowns. The closure of international trading led to a decline in the demand for automotive bumpers from different exporters. In addition, the temporary shutdown of various offline distributors led to a reduction in the sales of automotive bumpers in APAC. In addition, the second wave of the pandemic in the majority of countries in APAC has obstructed auto sales and decreased the demand for automotive bumpers in Q1 2021. However, the reopening of international boundaries for trading is likely to enhance the demand for automotive bumpers in APAC during the forecast period. Furthermore, developed economies in APAC, such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia, were able to control the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, which was a positive factor for the growth of the market in focus in these countries during the forecast period. China also contained the spread of COVID-19, and manufacturing and retail activities are peaking steadily in the country. Hence, the market in APAC is expected to witness a low impact of the pandemic during the forecast period, which will help in the growth of the regional market.
