Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner Market according to our research experts:
Passenger Car Segment Expected to Hold Majority Share in the Market
The passenger cars segment of the market studied is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. The increasing number of SUV sales across the world has been a major driver for the market. The increased ride height places the vehicle’s center of gravity high, increasing the risk of the vehicle toppling or overturning when it is cornering at high speed. In order to minimize the damage, it is imperative to use pretensioners equipped with seatbelts. It catered to 30.7 million units of SUVs sold in 2020.
- However, the impact of COVID-19 is inevitable on the market due to several manufacturing facilities shutting down and declining vehicle production. New passenger car sales across the world witnessed a significant decline during 2020. However, new vehicle models launched in 2020 across major regions had seatbelt pretensioners as standard.
Earlier, seatbelt pretensioners were available in premium car segments due to the high initial expenditure for developing this technology. Due to the increased need for passenger safety and owing to several crashes, the technology was made affordable for low-cost markets.
- The world has also witnessed a huge number of passenger vehicle sales, including SUVs, peaking at 74.9 million units sold in 2019 and reducing to 63.8 million units in 2020. Such a high number of passenger cars also points toward the immense potential for pretensioners due to the mandates laid by international organizations for passenger safety.
In light of such advancements, growth in passenger cars is expected to be steady and consistent during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Fastest Growth over the Forecast Period
Asia-Pacific is expected to occupy the largest share by volume and value due to the growing vehicle sales in the region. Countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, and India are the major manufacturers of automotive seatbelt pretensioners. The increasing number of premium vehicles and strict road safety norms are expected to drive the Asia-Pacific automotive seatbelt pretensioner market during the forecast period. For instance,
- As of 2003, only 24 million vehicles had been registered in China, whereas by 2018, that number had skyrocketed to 232.21 million cars. In 2020 alone, the number of newly registered vehicles in China had amounted to around 20.17 million cars. Increasing vehicle production, upgradation of road infrastructure, and stringent road safety norms are expected to drive the Chinese automotive seatbelt pretensioner market.
Increasing fatalities due to road accidents have forced governments across the region to take preventive measures and make seatbelts mandatory for both drivers and passengers.
· In 2018, South Korea introduced Universal Seatbelt Law, according to which every passenger traveling will have to wear the seatbelt. Violation of the law will attract a penalty of KRW 30,000, those younger than 13 will be fined twice as high.
Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the automotive seatbelt pretensioner market is expected to experience a boost in the Asia-Pacific region.
