The report titled “North America
Airbag Fabric Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”,
provides a comprehensive analysis of airbags, uses, various airbag fabrics,
leading players, applications, specifications needed, advanced technology in
airbags manufacturing, and future of airbags fabric market in North America.
All the automobile industries are increasing focus on the
installation of safety systems in the automotives which is the major
factor affecting the growth in the airbag fabrics in North America. The
government has started imposing stringent safety regulations, which compels the
automotive manufacturers to start providing airbag systems as a standard fitment in their products.
Airbags start functioning during danger. They unfolded by very rapidly incoming
gas into a balloon at high pressure. Airbag is capable of absorbing the impact
of a body effectively yet softly. The airbag collapse as rapidly as possible to
allow the protected person to respond to help. Automotive airbags are utilized
in compact cars, midsize cars, large cars, MPV, LCV, SUV and other vehicles.
Automotive airbag fabric market is segmented based on applications such as
front airbag, side airbag, knee airbag, curtain airbag, and other airbags.
Leading Players: The major
important requirements for the airbag fabric are low air permeability, less
fabric weight and less fabric thickness to save space in the automobile, high
fabric breaking strength and breaking extension to absorb the energy in the
explosive unfolding of the airbag. Airbag fabric is mainly used to produce
automotive airbags. There are very few leading players in the North American
airbag material manufacturers. The leading competitors in North American airbag
fabric market are Safety Components and Milliken. The global players are Hyosung,
Toyobo, Toray, Kolon, Safety Components (US), HMT, Takata, Porcher, UTT,
Milliken (US) and Dual. It was observed that there is a stiff competition among
the leading players and they focus on advanced technology, certification and
supply chain relationship. The supply of raw material for airbag fabric in
North America is basically controlled by American INVISTA. The airbag fabric
market in North America is spread across USA, Canada and Mexico.
Advances in North American Airbags Fabric Market: Majority of the airbags in North America are predominantly made of
a rubberized polyamide fabric. This material ensures a low level of air
permeability. Low air permeability allows shrinking, heat setting and
calendering the fabric. Polyamide yarns, polyester, aramids, PPS, polyimides are
the materials used in the manufacture of airbags. Polyamide and Polyester yarns are the most dominant airbag materials
available in North America. Polyamide 6.6 yarn is used in airbags
making utilizing a little of polyamide 6 yarn. Polyester yarns are used to
making side and curtain airbags in automobiles.
A multifilament yarn or spun yarn
specifications are between 150 and 3000 den. They are suitable materials for
making the filaments or fibers which are virtually spinable synthetic or
cellulosic polymers. The various cellulosic polymers are polyamides,
polyesters, vinyl polymers, polyolefins, rayon, polyoxymethylene and
polysulfones are rubberized during manufacture of the airbags. Rubberizing the airbag
fabric is a costly affair and increases the space required by the folded
airbag. It also tends to become brittle which shortens the life of the airbag. Currently,
a coating-free synthetic yarn is used in the manufacture of airbag fabric which
is simple to manufacture and yet meets the airbag material requirements, such
as low air permeability, low fabric weight, gastight, low fabric thickness and
high fabric strength. Various coating are used in the airbag materials for
durability such as neoprene coated fabric, silicon coated fabric and non-coated
fabric.
Future of North American Airbags Fabric Market: Polyester yarn is expected to grow at a faster rate over the next
few years due to lower cost and more manufacturers in North America are
adopting it in the making of knee and curtain airbags. The technological
developments in airbag fabrics and raising disposable income are the major
factors driving the airbag fabric market in North America. However, the
fluctuating prices of raw material and strict government regulations may
restraint the growth in airbags fabric market over the next few years in North
America. New airbag fabric development, advancement in automobile airbag safety
features, and collaboration of airbag makers with the automobile makers are the
key strategies adopted by the leading players to withstand competition in North
American airbag market.
