Major players in the automotive cables market are Sumitomo Corporation, Coficab Tunisie SA, Leoni, Delphi Automotive PLC., General Cable, Furukawa Electric, Lear Corporation, Coficab Group, Yazaki Corporation, and Allied Wire & Cable Inc. The growth of the automotive cables market is hindered by the growing availability of counterfeit auto parts including automotive cables. Cheap counterfeited cables are responsible for major revenue loss for authentic cable manufacturers. Apart from being priced low, these cables also increase the risk of accidents because of their low quality. The availability of counterfeited cables forces genuine manufacturers to spend heavy amounts to stop the sale of counterfeited products. According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry report, about 20% of all road accidents in India are attributed to counterfeit automotive parts with Rs 2,200 crore revenue being lost by the government due to these counterfeit products. Thus, the availability of counterfeit auto parts hampers the growth of the automotive cables market. The companies in the automotive cables market are investing in the substitution of copper with aluminum in battery cables to save manufacturing costs and reduce weight.

Automotive airbags silicone offers thermal resistance, slip resistance, and crash protection. Because airbags generate heat, passengers in the car are at risk of being burned; therefore, applying a thin layer of silicone to the airbag will help protect the fabric from heat and prevent passenger burns. The automotive airbag silicone market covered in the report is segmented by airbag type into cut-and-sewn seam-sealed (CSSS), one-piece-woven (OPW); by airbag position into the front, knee, curtain/side, and others; by vehicle type into passenger cars, LCV, HCV. The global automotive airbags silicone market is segmented - 1) By Airbag Type: Cut-and-Sewn Seam-Sealed (CSSS), One-Piece-Woven (OPW) 2) By Airbag Position: Front, Knee, Curtain/Side, Other Airbag Positions 3) By Vehicle Type: Passenger Cars, LCV, HCV The global automotive airbag silicone market grew from $318.75 billion in 2022 to $374.53 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.50%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of automotive airbag silicone is expected to grow to $724.06 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 17.92%. Airbags are made mandatory in front seats for vehicles and this factor is expected to drive the automotive airbag silicone market during the forecast period. Airbags are complex devices that work with a vehicle’s metal body and seatbelts to protect occupants and therefore it is made mandatory for vehicles to have airbags at least in front seats as occupants and driver seating in the first seats are at high risk of injury when there is any collision or accident. For instance, in India, vehicles manufactured on and after the 1st Day of April 2021, in the case of new models, and the 1st day of June 2021, in the case of existing models, shall be fitted with airbags for the person occupying the front seat, other than the driver. Thus, making airbags compulsory for front seats in vehicles is driving the market. Major players in the automotive airbag silicone market are Dow, Elkem Silicones, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Wacker Chemie AG, TORAY Industries, Toyobo, Zodiac, and Porcher Industries. The increasing development of active safety systems is expected to limit the growth of the automotive airbag silicone market. The active safety system in a car works to prevent an accident. These systems are always active while the car is in driving mode and works continuously to keep the occupants safe from getting into an accident. The active safety systems include automatic emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), active cruise control (ACC), lane departure warning (LDW), lane-keeping assist (LKA), blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA). According to Consumer Reports, in 2022, more than 47,000 Cr car owners were surveyed. 72% of the respondents were satisfied with Rear Cross Traffic Warning (RCTW), 64% were satisfied with Blind Spot Warning (BSW), 63% were satisfied with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and 59% were satisfied with the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). The increasing development of active safety systems has a negative impact on the automotive airbag silicone market. Innovative airbag design with silicone rubber fabric coatings and seam sealants is an emerging trend in the automotive airbag silicone market. Silicone rubber fabric coatings and seam sealants help airbag design integrity to enhance occupant impact protection and safety. For instance, Dow’s SILASTIC™ silicone engineered elastomers are proven, effective solutions for advanced airbag design. This innovative product meets industry and regulatory requirements for use on cut-and-sewn, seam-sealed (CSSS) airbags and one-piece-woven (OPW) airbags. It can be included in side curtain airbags, front-centre airbags, knee-bolster airbags, frontal airbags (driver and passenger) and side airbags.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the automotive equipment leasing market in 2020 as the need for services offered by these establishments declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and spread globally including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lockdown' and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the automotive equipment leasing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Automotive equipment leasing companies are using technologies such as big data to improve customer service and increase vehicle life. Big data involves large amounts of data that can be analyzed to gain insights and drive decision-making. Big data would allow the leasing company to remind the driver to book a car for the service or replace engine oil. This technology could also help leasing companies in minimizing driver risk and prevent the number of accidents, by giving the companies insights into the driving habits and whereabouts of their fleet. Companies such as Lex Auto lease have been increasingly using big data to drive cost reduction and risk mitigation.
