IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global automotive airbag inflator market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on type, operation, and vehicle type.
Driver Airbag
Passenger Airbag
Curtain Airbag
Knee Airbag
Pedestrian Protection Airbag
Side Airbag
Curtain airbag dominates the market
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes driver airbag, passenger airbag, curtain airbag, knee airbag, pedestrian protection airbag, and side airbag. According to the report, curtain airbag represented the largest segment. Curtain airbags are installed along the sides of the interior of the vehicle, within the headliner above the windows.

Curtain airbags often use hybrid inflators or stored gas inflators rather than pyrotechnic ones.
Driver airbag inflators are specially designed to protect the driver during a head-on collision. Typically located in the steering wheel, the driver airbag needs to inflate rapidly and uniformly to cushion the driver effectively. These inflators contain a solid propellant that undergoes a rapid chemical reaction upon ignition, filling the airbag instantly.
Pyrotechnic
Stored Gas
Hybrid
Pyrotechnic holds the largest share in the market
A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the operation has also been provided in the report. This includes pyrotechnic, stored gas, and hybrid. According to the report, pyrotechnic accounted for the largest market share. Pyrotechnic inflators are commonly used type of airbag inflators in automotive safety systems. When a collision is detected by the sensors of the vehicle, an electrical signal is sent to the airbag control unit, which then activates the pyrotechnic inflator.
Stored gas inflators operate differently than their pyrotechnic counterparts. These inflators use a cylinder filled with compressed gas, commonly argon or nitrogen, instead of a solid propellant. When the sensors of airbag systems detect a collision, the airbag control unit sends an activation signal to release the stored gas.
