Global Smart Automotive Bumper Market Forecast and Trends

Growth drivers 

Use of lightweight materials to manufacture Smart Automotive Bumpers leading to enhanced fuel efficiency

The use of lightweight materials for the production of automotive bumpers to ensure improved fuel efficiency would be one of the main factors that will positively impact the growth of the industry in the coming years. With regulatory bodies implementing fuel efficiency requirements in many countries, OEMs are shifting their emphasis from using traditional materials to lightweight materials such as plastics to deliver fuel-efficient automobiles. Consequently, several automotive manufacturers are preferring flexible and convenient to use plastic bumpers over conventional metal bumpers.

Features such as the antilock braking system (ABS), ADAS, and the infotainment system, which were previously an integral component of luxury vehicles, are increasingly witnessing adoption in passenger cars at the entrance level. The integration of those features raises a vehicle's total weight. That explains the need to use lightweight materials to create lighter bumpers

Automakers focus on improved pedestrian safety to drive the Smart Automotive Bumper market

With the growing concerns of pedestrian safety, vendors in this automotive bumper market are increasingly focusing on the development of bumper airbags, particularly designed to protect the pedestrians from crashing into vehicles. The introduction of bumper airbags in SUVs saves pedestrians from serious injuries and fatalities as they are triggered by the pre-crash radar sensor.

Furthermore, companies in the market such as Ford have started patenting pedestrian protection systems equipped with inflatable bumper and airbags for the bonnet. Since these systems help in cushioning the impact of collisions the deployment of bumper airbags will increase in the coming years, which according to our Smart Automotive Bumper market research report, will be one of the major trends gaining traction in this market.

Restraints

High cost associated with manufacturing

High bargaining power of supplier related to spare parts and advanced products such as sensors, camera, lightning etc. for overall leads to high smart automotive bumper manufacturing cost. Leading OEM’s have fixed suppliers on contractual basis and few players prefer local supplier for cost effectiveness but they follow all the required guideline by government authority.  High manufacturing cost of automotive vehicle has been a major concern over their widespread adoption. As the popularity of smart or autonomous vehicle rises over the next decade, the drops in smart automotive bumper prices in developed economies while the price range will be static in emerging economies as per trend of technological adoption.

Impact of COVID-19 in automotive industry

The World Health Organization now considers the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. As the virus spreads and cases mount, and measures stiffen to control the spread of the virus, there are numerous ways the Manufacturing & Production at all levels will be impacting in the coming weeks and months. Developing countries are particularly at risk as COVID-19 due to a reduction in labor force, affect economies and livelihoods as well as reduction in production operations.

Day-to-day life is now reportedly gaining some normalcy in China, with auto plants cautiously resuming manufacturing operations and consumers slowly coming back to showrooms. Most dealers, however, continue to face inventory shortages. The US is COVID-19's current epicenter, where automotive production has stopped entirely with automakers GM, Ford and FCA not confirming any clear dates to reopen their plants. Other car manufacturers Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai are preparing to open their plants by mid-April, but even these car manufacturers are likely to prolong the shutdown given the situation in the USA.

Toyota Launched a Car 2020 Toyota C-HR. Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection-This integrated camera and radar system is designed to help reduce the likelihood of colliding with a preceding car or pedestrian.

Using an in-vehicle camera and a radar sensor or a laser sensor that are designed to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System 66 with Pedestrian Detection 73 (PCS w/PD) is designed to help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist (BA). 67 If you don't brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity
