As per Stratview Research, the global composite suspension components market is still at a nascent stage but possesses significant growth potential over the next five years to reach US$ 100 million in 2023. Organic growth of automobile production, growing preference for composite components in passenger and light commercial vehicles, development of new composite suspension applications, advancement in the composites technology, and stringent government regulations regarding fuel efficiency and carbon emission reductions are the major factors that are burgeoning the demand for composite suspension components in the automotive industry.
Based on the component type, composite leaf spring is expected to remain the largest segment of the global automotive suspension components market during the forecast period. It is mainly used in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Pickup, Van, and SUVs are the major vehicle types that are using composite leaf springs on either transversal or longitudinal position depending on requirements, vehicle design, etc.
LCV currently dominates the global automotive composite suspension components market because of higher usage of composite leaf springs in LCVs. The passenger car segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by increasing usage of leaf springs and coil springs.
