The development of safe automobiles has led to an increase in chemicals used in airbag propellants during the past few years. The creation of cutting-edge airbags has benefited greatly from technological advancements. Airbags improve safety and protection in contemporary vehicles.

When it comes to how airbags function, airbag propellant is crucial since it helps the airbag inflate at the precise moment. After a car accident, the propellant is burned to produce gas, which fills the airbag.

The four main propellant types used in airbags are sodium azide, potassium nitrate, ammonium perchlorate, and tetrazoles. The type of propellant that should be utilized depends on the desired opening speed and airbag size. The propellant is frequently administered as tablets that are airtight combustion changers.

The demand for airbag propellant chemicals is expected to be primarily driven by the increase in automobile production. The increased use of airbags in automobiles, particularly in developing economies throughout the world, is also predicted to result in an increase in the global market for airbag propellant chemicals during the course of the forecast period.

In addition, it's projected that during the projection period, rising demand for airbags from maritime applications, such as those in bigger ships and smaller boats, would gradually fuel the market for airbag propellant chemicals.

Historical V/S Forecast Market Outlook For Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market

The market for airbag propellant chemicals grew at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2017 and 2021. In the 2017 to 2021 timeframe, significant shifts in the end-use sectors were seen in the global market for airbag propellant chemicals. As a result of the supply chain disruption, suspension of transportation, and global lockdown, production and demand in the automobile industry have decreased.

As a result, several sectors have been somewhat impacted by the global halt in industrial production and distribution, as well as the demand for and consumption of chemicals used in airbag propellants.

The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers estimates that the number of automobiles produced in 2020 dropped by 16% to 78 million, approximately the same number of vehicles sold in 2010. Which is the very least production compared to current demand.

As per the latest survey conducted by FMI, the airbag propellant chemicals market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2022 and 2032. The market for airbag propellant chemicals is expanding as a result of the major development and rise in demand for electric automobiles.

The need for technologically improved automobiles and consumer inclination toward safety measures are driving the growth of the airbag propellant chemicals market.

Market Dynamics

Surging levels of investment in electric automobiles

The demand for fuel-efficient and cutting-edge automobiles raised as urbanization, disposable income, and lifestyle changes occurred. Global digitization and electric mobility are expected to change how the automotive industry develops in the upcoming years.

It is also anticipated that reducing CO2 emissions from the vehicle and transportation sectors will strike a balance between industrial and environmental policy. Electric mobility is a viable alternative to internal combustion engines.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 2.1 million electric cars were sold globally in 2019, representing 2.6% of total automobile sales. Due to technology improvements and the availability of a wide variety of recently announced car models, many customers have been enticed to buy electric vehicles.

Due to increased demand and manufacturing, airbags are becoming more and more necessary in the creation of new electric vehicles. Consequently, it is anticipated that as electric car production and demand increase, so will the market for airbag propellant chemicals.

Consumer Awareness about safety

Over time, customers have become more knowledgeable about and willing to adhere to several safety procedures while buying a new automobile. The driver's actions, the vehicle's design, and the road conditions all had a role in the car crash. Consumer awareness of the safety of automotive systems has compelled manufacturers to design cars with several safety measures, which in turn boosts the installation of airbags in them.

Customers can access safety information and measures in a variety of ways, including evaluation programs, manufacturer advertisements highlighting safety features, and information on specific vehicle safety attributes. As a result, the market for airbag propellant chemicals is expanding due to consumer preference for safety measures and the development of new automobiles with sophisticated safety systems.

Stringent government regulations to constraint the market growth for Airbag Propellant Chemicals

Airbag manufacture and installation in automobiles must abide by a variety of laws to ensure public safety. It has been noted that the installation of ruptured airbags has frequently caused harm to drivers and passengers. The type of propellant used in airbags is subject to government controls since it degrades over time, particularly after coming into contact with moisture in humid environments.

As a result, there is a significant propellant burn following airbag deployment. Therefore, the rigorous government restrictions governing the manufacture and use of airbags may reduce the market demand for airbag propellant chemicals.

Category-Wise Insights

Which is the leading segment by type in the Airbag Propellant Chemicals market?

In terms of type, sodium azide has the largest market share in the chemicals industry for airbag propellants. Sodium azide, which is solid, has quick-acting properties and no odor. It combines with acids, water, and solid metals to produce a toxic gas that has a pungent stench.

The main application for sodium azide is in automotive airbags, where it explodes and changes into nitrogen gas as a result of the impact of the vehicle creating an electrical charge.

In addition to being explosive, sodium azide can be employed as a pesticide in agriculture, a chemical preservative in labs and hospitals, and as an explosive. Due to the strong demand for sodium azide in vehicle airbags, the global market for airbag propellant chemicals is growing.
