Market Overview

Implementation of Vehicle Safety Legislations to Result in Increased Uptake of Passive Safety Systems in Europe

Growing customer awareness of the need for enhanced safety, the implementation of legislations, the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) protocol and technological developments are crucial factors supporting the installation of emerging passive safety systems in vehicles. As a result, the European market for passive safety systems, such as whiplash protection, occupant sensing and advanced restraint systems, is exhibiting significant growth. New sensing applications, greater need for information and further integration of various passive safety systems are creating opportunities for the development of advanced passive safety systems. In the future, these systems are likely to enjoy enhanced importance due to their focus on safety as well as comfort and convenience features.

High costs related to whiplash injuries, combined with the anticipated Euro NCAP protocol on whiplash system testing and growing pressure from insurance agencies are driving an increase in the installation of whiplash protection systems that provide safety in rear-end collision. "The high installation rate of whiplash systems (in front as well as rear seats) as a result of declining prices will ensure its improved penetration into the market," notes the analyst of this research service. "At the same time, costs of unintended deployment of airbags, the Euro NCAP protocol on seatbelt reminders and the existing inconsistency in the use of seatbelts are contributing to rising demand for occupant sensing systems." In the context of advanced restraint systems, multi-stage airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners are being developed to ensure better occupant restraining capabilities at the peak of a collision’s impact.

Product Differentiation Critical for Sustained Market Growth

Currently, providing safety for rear seat occupants remains a concern for market participants. While side airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners are the only safety systems that offer protection to rear seat occupants, their installation in rear seats continues to be insignificant. In addition, vehicle manufacturers are faced with the problem of a very short product differentiation lifecycle of the safety features of systems. "At present, vehicle manufacturers are driving the introduction of new safety technologies," says the analyst. "However, as legislations and Euro NCAP protocols often pursue accelerated penetration of safety systems, they are rapidly becoming commodity features."

Hence, vehicle manufacturers will need to continuously adapt to evolving market needs and introduce advanced safety features to offer product differentiation. In the future, passive safety systems are expected to evolve into ‘intelligent’ systems that can adapt to a collision scenario and correct the occupant’s seating position, thus ensuring the correct deployment of the system.
