Growing demand for SUVs and pick-up trucks is notably driving market growth. The automotive suspension system market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for vehicles with enhanced driving dynamics and improved comfort. One of the most commonly used suspension systems in the automotive industry is the double wishbone suspension system.
Moreover, this system, which includes a lower control arm and an upper control arm connected by a steering knuckle, offers excellent damping characteristics and precise handling. While solid axle and beam axle suspensions have traditionally been used in commercial vehicles and off-road applications, the double wishbone suspension system is increasingly being adopted in passenger vehicles, including MPVs and compact cars. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Development of multi-material chassis construction is the key trend in the market. The automotive industry is experiencing a shift towards advanced materials and suspension systems to reduce vehicle weight and ensure regulatory compliance. Traditional suspension systems, such as solid axle and beam axle, are being replaced with more sophisticated systems like the double wishbone suspension.
Moreover, this suspension system offers improved damping characteristics, making the ride more comfortable and stable. Multi-material chassis, which combine materials like aluminum, magnesium, and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), are gaining popularity in automotive engineering. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Fluctuating costs of raw materials is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. The market is a significant segment of automotive engineering, particularly in the manufacturing of passenger vehicles, including MPVs. The market's profitability relies on the cost of raw materials, primarily metals and alloy blocks, used in the production of these systems.
Moreover, fluctuations in raw material prices or increased costs can negatively impact the market, as they directly influence the cost of the end product. Alloys of steel and aluminum are the primary raw materials used in the fabrication of double wishbone suspension systems. These materials offer desirable damping characteristics, contributing to the system's ability to absorb shocks and maintain vehicle stability. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period
