Product Definition:
A vehicle whiplash protection system is a device or mechanism that is designed to reduce the severity of injuries that can be caused by the sudden forward and backward movement of the head and neck, often referred to as whiplash. The importance of vehicle whiplash protection systems is that they can help prevent serious injuries in the event of a car accident.
Backrests:
Backrests are used in vehicle whiplash protection systems to protect the driver and passengers from being thrown forward or backward due to a collision. They also help in reducing neck strain and fatigue caused by looking at the road for long durations. The growing usage of backrests can be attributed to their ability to reduce injuries caused by sudden braking, especially while driving on highways or city roads where there are frequent sharp turns.
Head Restraints:
Head restraints are devices that help to reduce the forward movement of a vehicle in an accident. They are designed to protect the front seat passengers from injuries during a collision or sudden stop. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for head restraint systems, which is also known as NHTSA standard 208-201, titled Head Restraints for Use in Vehicles - Standard specifications.
Application Insights:
The commercial vehicles segment held the largest share of over 70.0% in 2017. The growing need to safeguard drivers and passengers from whiplash injuries caused by rear-end collision is expected to drive the demand for vehicle whiplash protection systems in this segment over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing road accidents due to driver fatigue are also anticipated to contribute toward market growth during the study period.
Passenger cars accounted for a significant share in global vehiclewhiplash protection systems market owing to rising awareness about personal safety among consumers as well as increased disposable income among certain groups of consumers globally, especially in emerging markets such as China and India.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global vehicle whiplash protection systems market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing road accidents, growing population and rising disposable income of consumers. The region has witnessed a significant increase in sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles over the past few years, which is expected to drive product demand over the forecast period.
The European market for vehicle whiplash protection system accounted for more than 20% share of global revenue in 2017 owing to stringent regulations implemented by governments across various countries regarding road safety coupled with high purchasing power of consumers. Increasing adoption rate of advanced safety technologies such as VWSPS among manufacturers operating within this region are anticipated to further fuel growth during the forecast period.
In Latin America, Brazil led this regional segment owing to high awareness about personal safety resulting into increased adoption rates Vehicle Whiplash Protection Systems (VWSPS).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of vehicle whiplash protection systems among consumers.
- Growing demand for luxury and premium cars, which are equipped with advanced safety features including vehicle whiplash protection systems.
- Stringent government regulations and norms pertaining to vehicular safety, which is driving the demand for vehicle whiplash protection systems across the globe.
