Market Trends of China Automotive Actuators Industry
Electric Actuators is Driving the Growth of The Market
- Many technological advancements have been done in the automotive market field, which has directly impacted automotive actuators, which are witnessing newer challenges and developments. Problems such as improving effectiveness with various functional components in the vehicle ranging from throttle actuators, brake actuators, closure actuators (window, door, and sunroof), and other application types are driving the research and development of the market.
- The electrical actuators are equipped with most of the newer vehicles. They emit lesser heat, lower noise emission, design, and offer flexible installation options. Additionally, since they run on battery, they can deliver higher torque while they are also compact and lightweight, making them an optimum choice over regular actuators. Advanced electrical circuiting and also well-designed software make actuators easier to operate. Electric actuators are widely used in window lifts, power tailgate drives, seat adjustments, and sunroof drives.
- Rising demand for electric vehicles across the country is likely to increase the demand for electric actuators in the coming years. Major vehicle manufacturers are launching new electric vehicle models in the country, which in turn is anticipated to enhance the market's growth. For instance, in February 2023, Geely launched the L7, its first model in the new Galaxy electric vehicle lineup. The L7 is equipped with advanced safety and comfort features.
- There is also a growing demand for features offering better comfort to the passengers, which has become a necessary factor for top manufacturers to differentiate from each in the growing actuators industry. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) invest heavily in efforts to enhance the driving and passenger experience by proving the best actuators to their customers.
