Automotive Active Suspension Market Overview
The Automotive Active Suspension Market size accounted for USD 45.21 Billion in 2023 and is estimated to account for 46.74 Billion in 2024. The Market is expected to reach USD 58.32 Billion by 2034 growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.65% from 2024 to 2034. Automotive active suspension is a technology that uses electronic control systems to adjust a vehicle’s suspension components in real-time, providing superior ride comfort, handling, and stability compared to traditional passive suspensions. Unlike passive suspensions that rely solely on springs and shock absorbers, active suspensions employ actuators (hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric) to continuously adjust the suspension’s stiffness and damping characteristics based on road conditions and vehicle dynamics.
The automotive active suspension market has been growing steadily due to advancements in technology, increasing consumer demand for comfort and safety, and the integration of active suspensions into electric vehicles.
