Description

The global Wearable Airbag market size is predicted to grow from US$ 99 million in 2025 to US$ 148 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global Wearable Airbag production reached approximately 194k units, with an average global market price of around US$ 522 per unit.

A wearable airbag is an active protective system integrated into garments such as vests, jackets, suits, or belts. Using sensors and algorithms to monitor body motion and vehicle dynamics, it detects crash/fall scenarios and triggers a gas inflator to deploy an airbag within milliseconds, cushioning critical areas such as the chest, back, neck/collarbone, and hips. A typical system includes the airbag bladder, sensing/control unit (IMU + algorithms), an inflator (often CO₂ or pyrotechnic), a power source, and the textile shell—balancing low weight, comfort, and reliable deployment.

Upstream spans high-strength textiles and composites (nylon/polyester shells, abrasion-resistant coatings, sewing accessories), airbag fabrics and sealing materials, electronics (IMU sensors, MCUs, connectors, batteries), inflators and CO₂ cartridges/cylinders, plus zippers/buckles and protective inserts. Midstream brands and manufacturers engineer the full wearable airbag system—hardware design, algorithm tuning, triggering logic and redundancy, garment integration, and production validation. Downstream demand comes from motorcycling and cycling, skiing and other high-risk sports, and equestrian use, distributed through sporting goods retail, co-branded gear programs, and some B2B safety procurement. Representative upstream ecosystem names include DuPont (performance fibers), 3M (functional materials), and YKK (zippers/fasteners), while downstream examples include motorcycle ecosystems such as KTM and Ducati and sports retail channels like Decathlon.

The annual production capacity of a single-line Wearable Airbag is approximately 7k units, with a gross profit margin of approximately 35%-45%.

The wearable airbag market is moving from niche premium adoption toward broader scenario penetration. As two-wheel mobility and personal protective gear upgrade and safety awareness rises, more riders and athletes are looking for active, wearable protection that covers critical areas. With electronic triggering becoming more mature, the category is evolving from tethered systems to smarter designs that can address a wider set of fall/crash modes. Competition is shifting from “deployment exists” to the overall experience—trigger accuracy, false-trigger control, deployment behavior and coverage, comfort/breathability, and long-term reliability (battery/sensor stability, durability, maintainability). Key drivers include safety standards and sport/industry norms, premiumization of protective gear, and channel interest in higher-value safety categories. Headwinds include ownership and maintenance friction (cartridge replacement, inspection/service), user sensitivity to false vs missed deployments, comfort and aesthetic acceptance, and the complexity of tailoring algorithms and garment structures across use cases (commuting, off-road, skiing, equestrian). Overall, brands that can deliver verifiable balance across reliability, coverage, comfort, and serviceability—supported by credible testing, after-sales support, and user education—are best positioned to expand penetration.
