Thailand Airbag Systems Market Synopsis
Thailand's airbag system market is experiencing steady growth, driven by several key factors that directly impact the demand for advanced safety technologies in vehicles. The increasing number of road fatalities, particularly in high-risk areas such as the Kabin Buri-Wang Nam Khiao and San Pu Khao Tone intersections, highlights the urgent need for enhanced vehicle safety systems. This growing awareness of road safety has led to higher demand for airbag systems, as they are essential in protecting passengers during collisions.
Additionally, the expansion of automotive OEMs, particularly Chinese manufacturers such as MG, BYD, and Great Wall Motor (GWM), has contributed to a surge in vehicle production in Thailand. These manufacturers are scaling up their operations, aiming to support vehicle exports to ASEAN markets, which directly increases the need for advanced safety features such as airbags to meet international standards. In 2024, Thailand produced vehicles, in which a number of units were assembled for domestic distribution. As vehicle production continues to rise, including the increase in 2023, the demand for airbag systems grows in tandem.
According to 6Wresearch, Thailand Airbag Systems Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2025E-2031F. This growth is driven by the rapid expansion of the automotive sector. As the Thai government aims to position Thailand as a prominent regional hub for Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturing in alignment with the policy, this will significantly increase the demand for advanced safety systems, including airbags. The government's target to produce Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030 equating that, it would directly impact the airbag market, as ZEVs, including EVs and hybrid models, require specialized airbag systems to meet new safety standards.
Additionally, Thailand's vehicle production is expected to rise in 2025, reflecting the country’s growing automotive output. As more vehicles are produced, particularly hybrid and electric models, the need for advanced airbag systems would increase to meet both local and international safety standards, ensuring the protection of passengers in a growing fleet of modern vehicles. Moreover, significant investments by automotive OEMs, such as Mazda’s investment in establishing an MHEV manufacturing hub and Changan’s investment to build its first overseas EV production plant in Thailand, would further boost the demand for airbag systems. These investments signal the increasing production of more advanced, hybrid, and electric vehicles, all of which require tailored airbag solutions to ensure passenger safety, thus driving growth in the airbag systems market in Thailand.
Market Segmentation By Vehicle Type
By 2031, pickup trucks are projected to experience the highest revenue growth rate in Thailand's airbag systems market. This surge is driven by the government's favourable tax policies, which impose significantly lower excise taxes on pickup trucks compared to passenger vehicles. For instance, the excise tax on pickup trucks can be low, as depending on emissions and body style, whereas passenger cars face higher rates. This tax advantage has led to pickup trucks accounting for Thailand's vehicle market share, making them a dominant segment in the automotive industry.
Market Segmentation By Type
By 2031, knee airbags are expected to experience the highest growth rate in the Thailand Airbag Systems Market, driven by the rising demand for advanced safety features in electric vehicles (EVs) and the government’s policy. As Thailand aims to manufacture its total vehicle production as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030, the adoption of knee airbags would increase, particularly in higher-end and electric models. With the growing emphasis on occupant protection in EVs, including enhanced safety configurations, knee airbags would play a critical role in meeting both regulatory standards and consumer expectations, driving their market growth.
