Global OPW Airbag Bag Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global OPW Airbag Bag market size is predicted to grow from US$ 563 million in 2025 to US$ 862 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global production of OPW airbags reached 9.442 million units, with an average selling price of US$61 per unit. OPW airbags are safety airbags manufactured using a one-piece woven process on jacquard looms, where the airbag's cavity, compartments, and woven-in seams/boundaries are integrated into a single, one-piece structure. This eliminates the need for sewing, allowing for more complex chamber and air passage designs. They offer advantages such as excellent airtightness, high stability, excellent elongation, and long inflation retention time. They are primarily used in automotive safety applications such as side curtain airbags (CAB) and rollover protection, especially in high-end vehicles. The upstream of the industry chain consists of industrial yarn for airbags (PA66/PET), weaving and jacquard equipment (supporting OPW woven into the structure), finishing/coating/lamination, and cutting processes; the midstream consists of OPW airbag manufacturers (OPW weaving + necessary post-processing and assembly); and the downstream consists of vehicle OEMs assembling the bags. OPW reduces sewing processes, improves consistency, and reduces labor and waste, which helps to improve the manufacturing cost structure, with gross profit margins typically ranging from 35% to 45%.
Globally, North America is one of the world's most important automotive markets, with significant demand for OPW airbags, benefiting from automakers' increased emphasis on safety performance and consumers' growing demand for vehicle safety. Demand for OPW airbags in Europe is also continuously growing, with manufacturers possessing advantages in technological research and development and product quality. The Asia-Pacific region is one of the world's largest automotive markets, with China, Japan, and South Korea being major consumer markets. With the rapid development of the automotive industry in these countries and consumers' increasing demands for vehicle safety performance, the OPW airbag market continues to expand. Furthermore, regions with higher safety regulations/collision standards for side curtain airbags (and regions with higher penetration of high-end models) are conducive to the large-scale production of OPW (Operating Airbag with Complex Structure) technology. Simultaneously, the overall increase in vehicle production and safety configuration upgrades in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in China, is leading to an overall increase in airbag systems, thus providing fertile ground for the expansion of OPW in areas such as side curtain airbags. OPW enables complex chamber and airflow structures, reduces sewing processes and potential seam failure points, improves consistency, and lowers some manufacturing costs. In the future, increased demand for side curtain airbags and rollover/ejection protection, regulatory and consumer safety preferences driving more airbag configurations, and the manufacturing sector's demand for cost reduction and efficiency improvement will all contribute to this growth.
