The Automotive Actuators market size is estimated at USD 22.8 billion in 2020 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9 % during the forecast period, to reach USD 38.3 billion by 2026.
Owing to the technological advancements in the automotive industry (such as autonomous vehicles and the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like the adaptive cruise control (ACC), automated brake assist, lane keep assist, and others.), the usage of actuators has increased at a tremendous pace.Among the various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the adaptive cruise control (ACC) and adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) features have been majorly deployed in modern vehicles.
Key Highlights
- The high cost of BLDC actuator is likely to witness a decline, owing to the falling prices of electronics. It is expected to experience a higher deployment in the various automotive applications.
- The increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, along with the rising demand for advanced actuator products, among the buyers, is compelling the major manufacturers to invest in R&D activities. For instance, Kierkert AG recently launched a new charging-plug actuator for plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Key Market Trends
Seat Adjustment to Witness Faster Growth
The sales of passenger and commercial vehicles continues to grow, and the OEMs have made interiors one of the main focus areas, in order to improve the safety and comfort of passengers. As a part of that effort, actuators have garnered significant attention, in order to make seats more comfortable and smart.
Actuators are used in seats, for adjusting lumbar support systems, seat positioning, angles, and for seat track actuators. Several types of automotive seat adjustment actuators are available in the market, such as geared motors for recliner adjustment, double output shaft for track drives, and linear actuators for height and tilt adjustments, among others.
Owing to the rise in the sales of SUVs and premium vehicles at the global level, the seat adjustment actuator segment of the market is expected to expand. The OEMs have been deploying electronic systems to control almost every part of an automobile, to enhance the experience of passengers.
Asia-Pacific Continues to Capture the Major Market Share
The market in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at a faster pace, with India, Japan, and China stepping toward becoming automotive component manufacturing hubs and supplying to countries, such as the United States and Germany. The increasing sales of both passenger cars and commercial vehicles is driving the market.
- Some of the key players in China are Limon Precision & Speed, Nutork Actuators & Valves, Brose, HELLA China, Mitsubishi, Changzhou, and Shengjie Electronic Co. The latest innovation in the Chinese market is mini-electric actuators, which help the headlights to track and illuminate the road, on the move. This feature is available in many high-end models.
- The factors that are making China one of the largest growing markets for actuators are the low costs, due to the domestic concentration of manufacturing plants, and people buying more vehicles.
Competitive Landscape
Some of the major players, like Robert Bosch GmbH, Nidec Corporation, Denso Corporation, Johnson Electric, Aptiv PLC, and others, have captured significant shares in the market. Robert Bosch GmbH occupied a major share, of nearly 20%, in the global automotive actuators market in 2018, by consistently supplying actuators to numerous major OEMs, such as Volkswagen, GM, BMW, Daimler, Ford, Peugeot, and others, across the Asia-Pacific, European, and North American regions.
