Global demand for automotive knee airbags is estimated at US$ 186.70 million for 2023 and is forecasted to climb to US$ 320.1 million by 2033-end. The global automotive knee airbags market is predicted to exhibit expansion at a steady 5.5% CAGR over the next ten years.Automotive knee airbags are critical safety devices positioned below the dashboard or within seats to minimize leg injuries during frontal impacts. These airbags help maintain occupant positioning, reducing the risk of severe injuries that can lead to disabilities. Preventive measures, such as compliance with safety standards and advancements in airbag technology, are enhancing their adoption across vehicle types, particularly in premium and luxury cars.

The global automotive knee airbags market is primarily driven by increasing road traffic crashes, which claim approximately 1.3 million lives annually, with 93% of fatalities occurring in low- to middle-income countries. Stringent government mandates, such as India’s requirement for six airbags in passenger cars since October 2022, and growing consumer awareness of vehicle safety are boosting market growth. Additionally, advancements in airbag materials, like silicone-coated variants, are improving performance and adoption
