Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market Overview

Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market size is estimated to reach US$9.2 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2022-2027. Airbag propellant chemicals are experiencing growth during the past few years owing to development of safe vehicles. There has been tremendous technological developments carried out in the production of advanced airbags. The airbags provide added safety and protection in high-tech vehicles. Airbag propellent plays a significant role in the working of airbags which help to inflate the airbag in the specific time. The gas generation is done with the combustion of propellent after car collision which fills the airbag. The major types of propellent used in airbags are sodium azide, potassium nitrate, ammonium perchlorate, and tetrazoles. The type of propellent to be utilized is dependent on the required opening speed and airbag size. The propellent is packed in an air-tight combustion changers and generally provided in tablet forms.

COVID-19 Impact

Many industries across the globe have faced several challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have experienced pitfalls. Many projects in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and marine have been halted due to an interrupted supply chain and employee shortages due to quarantines. Also, the production and demand in automotive industry has declined due to an interrupted supply chain and cessation in transportation and global lockdown. Thus, the global pause in industrial production and distribution, the demand and consumption of airbag propellant chemicals has hampered to an extent in several industries. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, vehicle production showed 16% decline in 2020 to about 78 million vehicles which is equivalent to the sales level of 2010. Thus, the decrease in automotive production and travel ban in turn hampered the demand for airbag propellant chemicals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By Type

The sodium azide segment held the largest Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market share in 2021 and is projected to grow with a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Sodium azide is odorless while solid chemical and owns rapid acting property. It turns to toxic gas containing pungent smell when it reacts to acid, water, or solid metals. The major application of sodium azide is into automobile airbags where it explodes and convert into nitrogen gas inside the airbag by the development of electrical charge caused by automobile impact. The other possible applications of sodium azide include chemical preservative in laboratories and hospitals, pest control in agriculture, and as an explosive. Thus, high demand of sodium azide in automobile airbags is driving the global airbag propellent chemical market growth. However, health concerns related to the use of sodium azide may hinder the market growth.

Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By End Use Industry

The automotive segment held the largest airbag propellent chemicals market share, with a share of over 47%. The use of airbags in high-tech automobile has increase over the past years owing the surge in safety concerns. Technological development, increase in road travels, rise in urbanization, and increase in production of automobile has further increased the demand for airbags and airbags propellent chemicals in them. Airbag propellent ignites when car sensors detect a crash or accident. It helps slow down the forward motion of passenger after a crash or collision. Automobile manufacturers are more inclined towards customer safety and offering vehicles that provides protection from injuries in accidents. Airbags has now become standard installation component in most of the vehicles owing to growing public awareness. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the cumulative sales of new vehicles in 2021 stood at around 71,745,408 units globally. Thus, growth in demand and production automobile is boosting the growth of global airbag propellent chemicals market.

Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

The Asia Pacific held the largest Airbag Propellant Chemicals Market share in 2021 and is projected to grow with a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.
