Market Overview:
The global rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles across the globe. In terms of type, the global rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings market has been segmented into rubber and polyurethane. Polyurethane is expected to account for a larger share of the market during the forecast period owing to its superior properties such as high strength, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability over rubber. In terms of application, the global rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings market has been segmented into passenger car (PC), light commercial vehicle (LCV), heavy commercial vehicle (HCV). Passenger car is expected to account for a larger share of the market duringthe forecast period owingtoits growing demand across different regions worldwide.
Product Definition:
Rubber and polyurethane suspension bushings are used to connect the suspension components on a vehicle. They provide a cushion between the metal parts, which helps to reduce noise and vibration. Additionally, they help to keep the suspension system properly aligned.
Rubber:
Rubber is a durable, elastic, and resilient material which is produced as a result of the process of vulcanization. It can be processed from two basic types including natural rubber (NR) and synthetic rubber (SR). Rubber has high tensile strength & resilience; it can stretch & return to original shape after being bent or compressed. Natural rubber was the first type to be commercially used in 1822; it is obtained from the latex that forms a milky sap within tree bark.
Polyurethane:
Polyurethane, also known as PU, is a polymer with a high demand in the automotive and construction industries. It is used to manufacture rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings that are widely used in automobiles to absorb vibration & shock from road surfaces.
The global PU market size was valued at USD 7.8 billion in 2016.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes passenger car (PC), light commercial vehicle (LCV) and heavy commercial vehicle (HCV). In 2017, the HCV segment dominated the market with a share of over 50.0% in terms of revenue. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for high-performance bushing in heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses and coaches.
Rubber suspension bushings are used in PC applications owing to their low cost as compared to polyurethane ones. However, technological advancements related to polyurethane products have increased their usage rate in this application segment over the past few years. For instance, introduction of rubber compound that is resistant to oil & gas led them being preferred over natural rubber for automotive purposes eventually driving product demand towards PC applications worldwide.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for approximately 60% of global production and consumption of rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings. Increasing automotive sales, coupled with growing industrialization, particularly in developing countries such as China and India are anticipated to drive demand for passenger cars (PC) and commercial vehicles (LCV).
The European market is driven by stringent government regulations regarding fuel economy along with increasing emphasis on reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from vehicle manufacturers. This has resulted in increased utilization of lightweight materials such as aluminum along with polymers for Suspension System components which reduces overall weight thereby improving vehicular efficiency. In addition, rising consumer disposable income levels coupled with high purchasing power are likely to boost product demand over the coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight vehicles: The global trend of downsizing and weight reduction in passenger vehicles is expected to drive the demand for rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings over the forecast period. Rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings are lighter in weight as compared to metal counterparts, which makes them ideal for use in lightweight vehicles.
- Growing automotive industry: The increasing production of automobiles across the globe is expected to drive the demand for rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings over the forecast period. Automotive manufacturers are increasingly adopting rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings owing to their superior performance characteristics as compared to traditional metal components.
- Rising consumer preference for comfort and safety features: Consumers are increasingly demanding comfort and safety features in passenger vehicles, which is driving OEMs towards adoption of advanced technologies such as rubber & polyurethane suspension bushings. These components offer superior ride quality and safety, thus resulting in increased sales volumes globally.
