MacPherson strut holds the largest market share for front wheel suspension
MacPherson strut eliminates the need for a separate upper control arm, which reduces the cost of components and the weight of the architecture. This advantage offered by the architecture has made the adoption of this architecture widely accepted by OEMs globally. In terms of value, Asia Pacific will be the largest and fastest-growing market for MacPherson strut over the forecast period. The market growth in this region is attributed to the high penetration of the MacPherson strut in the front suspension, which is ~70-75%. The low cost and limited space required for the installation of this architecture make it a preferred choice for compact passenger cars, which have a high demand in the Asia Pacific. Models such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, BMW X5, and Subaru XV, among others, are equipped with front axle Macpherson strut.
Asia Pacific region to dominate the global automotive suspension market
The Asia Pacific has emerged as a hub for automotive production in recent years, owing to changing consumer preferences, increasing per capita income of the middle-class population, and cost advantages for OEMs. The Asia Pacific is estimated to account for the largest share of the automotive suspension market, by value, in 2022, due to the presence of automotive OEMs with large vehicle production capacity, higher vehicle sales, and a large customer base. Increasing demand for better comfort in passenger cars has led to the adoption of multilink and air suspension systems in western countries. However, due to their high cost, these systems are still in their introductory phase in the Asia Pacific region.
China is estimated to remain the largest market within the region, owing to its large population and increased demand for passenger vehicles post-pandemic. The country has resumed production close to pre-pandemic levels. By value, India is expected to be the fasted-growing market due to the increased demand for passenger vehicles as the country’s economy recovers from the effects of the pandemic.
