Air suspension is a vehicle suspension system that replaces traditional coil or leaf springs with airbags filled with pressurized air. This system allows for adjustable ride height and stiffness, enhancing comfort and handling by adapting to varying road conditions. It is commonly used in luxury vehicles, trucks, and buses to provide smoother rides and better load support.
The main components of air suspension systems include air springs, tanks, solenoid valves, shock absorbers, air compressors, electronic control units (ECU), height and pressure sensors, and air reservoirs. An air spring, also known as a pneumatic spring, is a suspension component that absorbs and dampens shock and vibrations using compressed air. It is utilized in various vehicles, including light-duty vehicles, trucks, and buses, through different technologies, such as electronically controlled and non-electronically controlled systems. These components are distributed through several sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket, and are used by various industries such as automotive, transportation, and logistics.
The air suspension market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides air suspension market statistics, including the air suspension industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with air suspension market share, detailed air suspension market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the air suspension industry. These air suspension market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The air suspension market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.61 billion in 2024 to $7.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing automotive industry growth, rising demand for comfort in vehicles, demand for enhanced vehicle performance, and increasing luxury vehicle demand.
The air suspension market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing vehicle electrification, regulatory standards, increasing commercial vehicle demand, increasing vehicle safety regulations, and increasing research and development investments. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for lightweight air suspension systems, adoption of advanced technology systems, and integration with autonomous vehicles.
The increasing demand for commercial vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the air suspension market in the future. Commercial vehicles encompass motor vehicles used for transporting goods or paying passengers. This demand is rising alongside expanding economic activities and the need for efficient transportation and logistics solutions. Air suspension systems offer superior ride comfort, reducing driver fatigue and enhancing safety, particularly for long-distance and heavy-load commercial vehicles. They also contribute to improved fuel efficiency by maintaining optimal ride height and minimizing aerodynamic drag, which benefits long-haul trucks and other commercial vehicles. For instance, in 2023, the International Energy Agency reported that global sales included nearly 66,000 electric buses and 60,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks in 2022, accounting for about 4.5% of total bus sales and 1.2% of truck sales worldwide. Thus, the increasing demand for commercial vehicles is a key driver of growth in the air suspension market.
Leading companies in the air suspension market are concentrating on advancing their product lines in control and suspension technologies to deliver high-quality solutions for various vehicle applications. These technologies work together to ensure a smoother ride, improved handling, and the ability to adjust the vehicle's ride height dynamically based on driving conditions and cargo load. For example, DMA Industries, a US-based manufacturer of aftermarket accessories, introduced RideMaster in November 2023. This product line includes air struts, springs and shocks, coil springs, control arms, and small chassis components, available in active and passive configurations. RideMaster products are designed to match original parts in damping and performance, manufactured in a tariff-free zone to provide exceptional value without compromising quality.
In July 2024, TVS Mobility, an India-based provider of construction and material handling equipment acquired Roberto Nuti Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition represents a pivotal step in TVS Mobility's global expansion strategy, emphasizing the synergies between the two companies' strengths in the automotive components sector. Roberto Nuti Group is a Italy-based manufacturer of suspension systems, particularly shock absorbers and air springs for the aftermarket.
