Market Highlights
Global Automotive Airbag Fabric Market size is anticipated to register a significant CAGR of 5% between 2020 and 2027. Airbags are used to protect the passengers on-board in case of accidents and auto-collision. The fabric used for making airbags is flexible and possess high tensile strength and heat resistance with low air permeability and better energy absorption. Most common airbag fabrics used are nylon 6.6, nylon 6 and nylon 4.6.
Air bags and airbag fabric materials have evolved significantly over the many years since their introduction to vehicles. The general characteristics of airbag fabrics are high strength, energy absorption, temperature stability, and coating adhesion. The airbag is made up from highly dense and plain-woven fabric. Airbags play a vital role in protecting drivers and passengers of any automobile during an accident or sudden impact. Airbags are a part of the primary safety mechanism incorporated in most automobiles. Airbags inflate during a sudden impact and help avoid any direct injury to the passengers. Airbags are made from highly advanced materials, which can withstand the sudden inflation of a gas without rupturing during the process. Airbags are made of several materials which are impermeable to gas; however, Nylon 6,6 is the preferred choice of fabric for airbags. Airbags are also made of aramid fabric; however, the cost of aramid is substantially high and hence, it is reserved for niche applications. The fabric used for airbags needs to exhibit two critical properties: high tensile strength and very low gas permeability. Moreover, it also needs to possess elasticity, lightweight or low specific density, and fatigue resistance.
