Automotive Shock Absorbers Market: Introduction

Shock absorbers are also known as dampers. Shock absorbers are mechanical systems intended to absorb and damp shock impulses in a car/vehicle. These shock absorbers stabilize the cars/vehicles on rough surfaces or uneven roads. Shock absorber enhances the driving experience and leads to better efficiency and handling of the cars/vehicles. Moreover, smoothing out bumps and shocks, the shock absorbers’ primary function is to ensure that the vehicle’s tires stay in contact with the ground surface at all times along with the proper braking response. Shock absorbers transform the shock’s kinetic energy into heat energy, which dissipates afterward. Shock absorbers have electric valves that allow a ride height change or even ride height control. 

Automotive Shock Absorbers: Market Dynamics

The automotive shock absorbers market's driving forces are increasing automobile demand, safety concern, and comfort driving in every condition. Moreover, the growing automotive aftermarket and the development of advanced suspension technology are key factors that will boost the growth of the automotive shock absorber market. Owing to increasing urbanization and smart cities, and rising daily commuting distances, some important factors will increase the demand for new vehicles and affirmatively impact the growth of the automotive shock absorber market. 

Increasing demand for automobiles and rates of emissions combined with rising traffic congestion forces many countries to put some auto components regulations. These regulations compel the manufacturers the development of lightweight automotive shock absorber.
