Global Automotive Airbag Fabric Market size was valued at USD 2.8 Billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 3.0 Billion in 2023 to USD 4.96 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.48% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Stringent safety regulations imposed by governments and automotive safety organizations across the globe are driving the demand for airbag fabrics for automotive applications. Continuous advancement in fabric technology plays an important role in the automotive airbag fabric market. Manufacturers are investing in research and development to improve airbag fabric strength, durability and performance. Innovations in textile materials, weaving techniques, and coatings aim to provide tear resistance, archway resistance, airbag efficiency and reduce weight and cost. Airbags are essential to protect the drivers and occupants of any vehicle in an accident or sudden incident. Most cars use airbags as part of the basic safety system. During a sudden impact, the airbags expand to help prevent direct injury to passengers. Airbags are made of highly advanced materials and can withstand rapid air expansion without rupturing during manufacture. Airbags are made of several airtight materials; Nylon 6,6 is the preferred fabric for airbags. The airbags are also made of aramid fabric. However, the cost of aramid is significantly higher thus, it is reserved for niche applications. The fabric of the airbag must exhibit two important properties: high tensile strength and minimum air permeability. Additionally, it must be durable, have a small or low specific density, and be fatigue-resistant. The airbag fabric market is primarily driven by vehicle sales and is highly dependent on vehicle manufacturing.
