For the safety purpose of the riders, automobile industry has increased the number of airbags in the vehicle. In India, the increasing passenger car production and stringent government policies are driving the growth of the Indian airbag market.
An airbag is the core vehicle safety technology. Airbags are constructed such that in case of a collision, the airbags can deploy fast and deflate fast as well. The components of an airbag include a flexible fabric bag, an airbag cushion, an impact sensor, and an inflation module. Airbags are also referred to by the name supplementary restraint system (SRS) where the material utilized for the construction of the airbag is nylon. In cars, airbags are filled and stowed behind different components of the interior, i.e., dashboard for front airbags and inside the steering wheel. The airbags deploy using the forces that are felt in a collision, alteration in the velocity of the vehicle during collision by which the occupants of the vehicle experience high deceleration and g-forces to open up the airbag. There are two sensors in the car like gyroscopes and accelerometers that are mounted around the vehicle and can be utilized to measure the magnitude and direction of the g-force during the crash. To track the abrupt change in the vehicle for the airbag, an airbag control module (ACM) serves as a miniature computer that continuously tracks information from the sensors.
Strict Government Policies
Currently, there are two compulsory airbags for all cars. One for the driver's seat and another one for the front co-passenger. India's government made the installation of airbag in driver seats in the eight-seater vehicle mandatory from July 2019. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways issued the notification about the compulsory provision of airbags for the front-seat passenger in a vehicle. The Indian government has made these airbags mandatory in cars to minimize the effect of side and front impacts on the occupants of both, front and rear seats. The Government of India mandated it in 2019 for eight-seater cars to have six airbags. In order to provide the maximum safety of passengers in all segments, the automobile manufacturers are fitting two side curtain/tubes airbags and two side torso airbags protecting all outboard passengers. There are numerous cars in the current market which do not provide airbags for the front passenger in their budget segments like Wagon-R, S-Presso, Maruti Suzuki Alto, Datsun Redi-GO, Hyundai Santro, and cars like Mahindra Bolero, are being retailed without a side airbag in the base variant. This configuration is expected to alter in the near future to meet the new regulations for manufacturers.
Increasing Safety Concerns Among the Customers
The Indian airbag market has been very dynamic in the recent past, with the awareness of the customers towards safety increasing in the last few years. The customers are eager to spend on safer and technology-based vehicles for the application of passive safety systems. Customers are willing to pay a premium for a new safety system in vehicles as well as additional safety features. Based on government reports, road accidents taking place on Indian national highways (NHs) is a sum of 1,16,496 including expressways, in 2020, with a death toll of 47,984, and based on a World Bank report, about 415 individuals perish in road accidents daily in India and 10% of road crash fatalities across the world are reported from India. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released studies in 2020, through which front airbags lower driver deaths by 29% and deaths of front-seat passengers by 32%. All these are altering the mindset of the buyer of the car in India and thus, have an impact on the auto manufacturers for fitting the airbags in the car for the front and for rear seats and curtain sides. Shown technology has an important role to play in shaping purchase of safety features. Trustworthiness, comfort, and safety also have an impact on consumer purchase choice, leading to increasing consumer awareness towards vehicle security, hence driving the market growth.
