Additionally, the fluctuating raw material prices further aggravated the challenges faced by the market.
  • However, the automotive industry recovered from the losses in the year 2021 and 2022 and paved the way to introduce quality products to cater to the rising demand from consumers across the country. The automotive industry witnessed significant growth in terms of production in 2022, which increased the demand for actuators across the country.
  • Over the medium term, rising vehicle electrification in the vehicle is likely to increase demand for automotive actuators. Growing demand for fuel efficiency and comfort, especially in passenger vehicles, is driving the growth of the automotive actuators market during the forecast period.
  • The rise in the sale of passenger cars across the country is likely to witness major growth in the market. In 2022, around 26.86 million units of vehicles were sold in the country. Growing demand for safety features in the vehicle is likely to increase the demand for actuators during the forecast period. The increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, along with the rising demand for advanced actuator products, among buyers, is compelling the major manufacturers to invest in R&D activities.
  • The market is witnessing a significant increase in the integration of modern safety and comfort features in vehicles, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle infotainment. This growth is driven by the increased production of automobiles with integrated ADAS features, which cater to the rising demand for passenger comfort and safety. Furthermore, government legislation mandating safety measures further fuels the market demand for these advanced features.

China Automotive Actuators Market Trends

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.
