Automotive Active Grille Shutter Systems Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and outlook (2023-2030)

Global Automotive Active Grille Shutter Systems Market is segmented By Type (Horizontal Vanes, Vertical Vanes), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2029

Market Overview

The Global "Automotive Active Grille Shutter Systems (AGS) Market" is expected to  grow at a high CAGR of 2% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

• Automotive active grille shutters are grille systems used in automobiles to allow and reduce airflow selectively. The automatic mechanism of the active grille shutters helps the vanes open and close depending on the real-time conditions of the vehicle.

• This contributes to reducing the overall drag of the car thereby lowering the carbon emissions and improving the fuel economy of the car.

Market Dynamics

• Rising global automotive sales need for fuel-efficient cars, regulations on carbon emissions of vehicles, growing sales of electric vehicles, and customers preferring high-performance cars are the major factors responsible for the growth of the global automotive active grille shutter systems market.

• Rising global automotive sales is a primary driver attributing to the growing demand for automotive active grille shutter products. According to the Association of Motor Vehicles Manufacturers (OICA), 96.8 million vehicles were sold globally in 2017 compared to 93.9 million and 89.7 million in 2016 and 2015 witnessing a growth rate of 3.08% in 2017 and 4.6% in 2016 respectively.

• The increasing growth sales of the global automotive industry is anticipated to dominate the global automotive active grille shutter systems market.

• However, increasing manufacturing costs, less penetration of active grille shutter systems in automobiles, and rising sales of electric vehicles are the major factors hampering the global automotive active grille shutter systems market.

• According to the International Energy Agency, 2017 witnessed global record sales of 1.1 million electric cars. The sales of electric vehicles have increased by more than 50% in 2017 and China has accounted for nearly half of the sales. The global stock of electric vehicles surpassed 3 million in 2017.

• This increasing demand for electric vehicles is one of the primary factors hampering the growth of the automotive active grille shutter systems market.

Market Segmentation

• The Global Automotive Active Grille Shutter Systems (AGS) Market has been segmented by type of the product, vehicle type, and geography.

• Based on the vehicle type, the market is segmented as passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicles segment is the dominant segment of the global automotive active grille shutter systems market owing to the increasing demand for passenger vehicles globally and consumers preferring fuel-efficient cars.

• According to the Association of Motor Vehicles Manufacturers (OICA), 70.8 million passenger cars were sold in 2017 compared to 69.5 million in 2016 and 66.3 million passenger cars in 2015.

• Owing to the increasing global consumption of oil and natural gas, consumers are shifting their buying patterns towards purchasing fuel-efficient vehicles.

• The global oil production as per the Global energy statistical yearbook in 2005 was about 88721 thousand barrels per day and reached 92649 thousand barrels in 2017 with a 0.7% annual growth rate. Rising oil prices coupled with emission norms are the major factors responsible for the passenger vehicles segment dominating the global automotive active grille shutter systems market.

Geographical Analysis

• The Global Automotive Active Grille Shutter Systems (AGS) Market has been segmented into the following regions like North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World (ROW).
