Automotive Anti-Pinch Window Market: Introduction
- Rise in demand for safety features among consumers, globally, is anticipated to drive the global anti pinch window market
- Risk arises in case of power windows, which are even programmed to operate at the press of a switch. In cases where the power window is equipped with anti-pinch technology, the electric motor in the power window is fitted with a sensor. This sensor is capable of sensing the resistive force acting against the motion of the glass, thereby preventing accidents.
- The winding action of the power window stops immediately on detection of an obstruction, and the window starts to operate in the reverse direction. Therefore, this technology helps roll down the window to avoid any injury to the occupant.
Key Drivers of Automotive Anti-Pinch Window Market
- Mandatory safety regulations enacted by the government and regulatory authorities in order enhance safety for minor occupants in vehicles are expected to propel the global automotive anti-pinch windows market. The automotive anti-pinch power window system is a safety system that is employed in power windows of modern vehicles. The anti-pinch technology is actually a safety feature in an automobile, and it prevents the rolling up of power windows, on sensing any obstacle in the path of the glass. The use of this technology is mandatory in several countries across the globe including the U.S., Germany, Norway, France, Italy, and the U.K.
- Expansion of the global anti-pinch windows market is attributed to a rise in the rate of adoption of power windows. Power windows have increasingly gained popularity and are OEM-fitted even on budget vehicles. Majority of the power windows are equipped with anti-pinch features. Rise in popularity of power windows and a few fatal safety concerns regarding their use have come under focus, which in turn is offering opportunities for key players operating in the anti-pinch window market.
- However, disruptions in supply chain catering to the automobile industry, owing to the shutdown of production and manufacturing facilities caused by the coronavirus pandemic across the world, is estimated to contract the market in 2020-2021. Consequently, the coronavirus pandemic has hampered the global automotive anti-pinch window market.
- The market is anticipated to recover by increasing production volume of vehicle components as well as vehicles in 2021. This, in turn, is projected to offer lucrative opportunity to players operating in the supply chain of the automotive anti-pinch window market during the forecast period.
Europe to account for major share of global automotive anti-pinch window market
- In terms of region, the global automotive anti-pinch window market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa
- Asia pacific is expected to account for a major share of the global automotive anti-pinch window market. China, Japan, India, and South Korea have presence of major auto manufacturers. China leads not only Asia Pacific but globally in terms of manufacturing vehicles. Additionally, Asia Pacific has a prominent aftermarket industry catering to automotive. This, in turn, is estimated to offer significant opportunities for companies operating in the automotive anti-pinch window market.
