Germany Automotive Pneumatic Actuators Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The Germany Automotive Pneumatic Actuators Market size is estimated at USD 1.38 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.67 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Over the medium term, the growth of fuel-efficient vehicles and the inclusion of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), majorly braking and throttle systems (like adaptive cruise control (ACC) and autonomous emergency braking features), in new vehicles and existing vehicles, are the major driving factors for the automotive actuator market.
Owing to the rising penetration and replacement rate of the pneumatic actuator with pure electric and electro-pneumatic actuators, the market studied is expected to grow at a slow rate, especially for the passenger car segment. However, demand for automotive pneumatic actuators in the commercial vehicle segment is expected to grow due to an increase in production and sales of trucks and semi-trailers.
The use of fuel injection actuators and throttle actuators in diesel engine vehicles helps comply with the Euro VI standard. The market for actuators for fuel injection that are directly related to diesel engines is expected to grow with the development of advanced diesel engines.
Germany Automotive Pneumatic Actuators Market Trends and Insights
Throttle Actuator Witnessing Major Growth
The throttle actuator is a DC motor that aids in the precise and efficient rotation of certain parts. Advanced fuel management systems, including integrated throttle control units, are typically utilized in traditional diesel engines. These engines are popular due to their higher efficiency, improved functionality, increased operational safety, and reduced carbon emissions.
Advanced throttle actuators provide the ability to integrate control with other vehicle functions. These systems in SUVs allow the engine speed to be monitored for smooth driving over different terrains.
The rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive pneumatic actuator market. Throttle actuators are used in electric vehicles to regulate the flow of air and enhance battery efficiency. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the demand for throttle actuators is also expected to rise.
Advancements in technology have facilitated the creation of advanced throttle actuators that offer greater control and precision. These actuators come equipped with sensors and electronics that enable them to make precise adjustments to the air intake, resulting in better fuel efficiency and engine performance.
The increasing demand for throttle actuators in the automotive pneumatic actuator market is being driven by the need for better fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and the rising popularity of electric vehicles. As technology advances, the demand for more advanced throttle actuators is expected to keep growing in the near future. In conclusion, the market for throttle actuators is set to experience a significant expansion in the coming years.
