Germany Automotive Actuators Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Germany’s market for automotive actuators is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.12% by 2020. Actuators have been employed in automobiles since long in converting source energy into motion, in short, acting as a trigger for an action. With latest technological advancements, even this trigger component has got upgraded from time to time, in order to the catch up with the growing parent industry. The high-response, high-thrust, electrically driven ball screw actuator, developed by NTN in 2009 was one notable breakthrough development for this component and since then, several other companies have focused on developing better actuators.

The market for electric actuators and a hybrid of electric and hydraulic actuators is expected to grow exponentially over the coming 5 years, owing to the latest advancements such as mini electric actuators.  These mini electric actuators find their extensive application in the advanced driver assistance and automotive sensors systems.
