According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, In North America, the automotive seat belt market is dominated by advancements in regulatory standards and the adoption of innovative safety technologies. This region benefits from strong consumer awareness of vehicle safety and significant investments in research and development.
The 3-point seatbelt is the dominating type in the market, owing to its superior safety performance and wide adoption in both passenger and commercial vehicles. Its design effectively distributes crash forces over the chest, pelvis, and shoulders, reducing the risk of injury
Passenger cars dominate the market, as they account for the majority of vehicles on the road and are subject to stringent safety regulations globally. Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) follow, fueled by increased demand from logistics and e-commerce sectors. Heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), though a smaller segment, are growing steadily, driven by the increasing focus on driver safety regulations in regions like North America and Europe.
The webbing strap is the most dominant component of automotive seat belts, as it forms the core safety element that restrains passengers. Retractors, with their crucial role in tightening or locking the webbing during collisions, follow closely. Buckles and tongues are also vital, ensuring proper securing and usability of seat belts, while the pillar loop plays a significant role in guiding the belt for optimal comfort and safety.
OEMs dominate the market by ensuring that all newly manufactured vehicles include high-quality seat belts that meet specific safety standards. This channel thrives on collaborations between carmakers and seat belt manufacturers. However, the aftermarket segment is also gaining traction, driven by consumer demand for replacement seat belts and upgrades for older vehicles.
