A recent report published by Infinium Global Research on automotive suspension market provides in-depth analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well as regional automotive suspension market. The study also highlights the impact of drivers, restraints, and macro indicators on the global and regional automotive suspension market over the short term as well as long term. The report is a comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global automotive suspension market.
The global automotive suspension market growth is steered by increased consumer demand for ride comfort, handling stability, and safety, as well as the proliferation of premium vehicles and EVs integrating advanced suspension such as adaptive and air systems. Passive setups remain preferred in mass-market vehicles for reliability and cost. However, semi-active and active suspensions are climbing rapidly in luxury and autonomous segments, integrating IoT sensors and vehicle control modules. MacPherson strut suspensions dominate for passenger cars, while multi-link and double wishbone systems are critical for ride refinement in premium and EV models. Ongoing R&D investments and modular designs to reduce weight and improve efficiency fuel market trends, especially in regions with stringent emissions and safety regulations.
The growing global auto sales (China made 26 million vehicles in 2024), consumer demand for more ride comfort and safety, and the increase in EVs and luxury cars with semi-active or active suspension systems, the global automotive suspension market is on a big rise. The MacPherson strut configurations are mainly used for passenger car platforms because they are structurally efficient and cheap, while multi-link arrangements are used for the premium and performance segments. While springs and dampers continue to be the fundamental parts, the reason for the fast growth of adaptive shock absorbers is the wider use of electronics and IoT sensors. The Asia-Pacific region, powered by China and India, accounts for 41–45% of the market value and is characterized by high vehicle production, strong local suppliers, and rising middle-class consumer demand. Although smaller in size, North America and Europe are still engaged in turning new ideas in the premium and commercial sectors. Companies' competitive emphasis is mainly on R&D, local collaborations, and modular platforms. Where consumer spending and regulatory requirements Allow for comfort and safety upgrades, such as in developed countries, the demand for advanced products like air suspension and integrated electronic dampers is very high, thus they are the main drivers of above-average growth there.
Passive Suspension stays the market leader, making around 61% of the global market share in 2025. The main reasons for that are its long-term stability, less expenditure on the device, and the simplicity of its upkeep, which altogether turn it into the normal choice for mass-market passenger and commercial vehicles all over the world. Active / Semi-Active Suspension is the most rapidly expanding segment, in particular, as luxury OEMs (Mercedes-Benz, Tesla) and EV brands introduce new models with electronically controlled damping and air suspension. This technology provides enhanced ride comfort, dynamic adjustment, and communication with ADAS systems; thus, it is mostly found in premium vehicles of the USA, Europe, and China.
The majority of new cars in 2025 use MacPherson Strut for their geometry with ~66% of vehicles relying on this design; thus, it provides a good compromise between ride comfort, cost-effectiveness, and spatial efficiency. Almost all European and Asian passenger vehicles have this kind of suspension. Multi-link & Double Wishbone geometries are utilized in the utmost luxurious, sporty, and electric vehicle (EV) platforms to achieve handling precision and stability, and thus, these consumers' demand for driving experience leads to the increased share of these geometries.
Springs (coil and leaf) hold the greatest portion in the segments for they are the ones that support the vehicle weights and are responsible for the absorption of shocks, most of the time in commercial and utility segments. Shock Absorbers have emerged as the rapidly growing sub-segment with the reason being that many luxury and next-gen EV models are equipped with adaptive dampers as a standard feature that are sensitive to real-time road and driving conditions.
Passenger Cars are the global leaders in this market, contributing to more than 55% of the overall demand and thus, the big production scale in China, India, U.S., Germany, and Japan is the main driver of this market reach. Electrification of vehicles and Heavy-duty sector are the two areas that grow the fastest. While there is a need for a commercial fleet of durable vehicles, automakers are introducing advanced suspensions on new electric platforms not only to improve ride comfort but also for the battery integration to be more efficient.
Asia-Pacific (mainly China, India, Japan) is the largest market (over 40% of the total) by volume of production, supplier integration, and quick suspension technology application, which is usually supported by the government and OEM investment.
Fastest Growth: The region of Asia-Pacific is also the one to record the highest CAGR. This is a result of urbanization, increasing of the vehicle purchasing power, and the much higher rate of EV adoption.
Second-largest: North America, with a combination of high premium demand, strong commercial sector, and leadership in regulation and innovation.
This segment is the one with the top ten global suppliers holding more than 60% of the share, thus it is very concentrated.
Characters: Continental AG, Tenneco, Gabriel India, KYB, Mando, Fox Factory, Hendrickson, ZF, Magneti Marelli, Benteler, Dongfeng Motor Suspension, Wanxiang Qianchao.
Advantages: The company benefits of large-scale production, manufacturing innovation, and strong relationships with global OEMs.
Plan: The use of the money from the business expansion is intended for the light-weighting, electronic integration of (ADAS), modular platforms, and emerging market growth.
Recent Changes: Mando and ZF have increased active suspension production capacity; Continental and Hendrickson have collaborated with Chinese and U.S. OEMs to develop adaptive suspension tech through partnerships.
Continental AG launched scalable air suspension modules for electric vehicles in Europe and China (2023).
Gabriel India invested in intelligent passive and adaptive suspension lines with local OEMs (2024).
KYB Corporation partnered with Honda and Toyota, integrating smart suspension for premium EV models (2022–2025).
