Market Dynamics
The increasing penetration of automation in vehicles is expected to drive the market. However, the threat of security breaching is expected to restrain the market.
The increasing penetration of automation in vehicles
The rapid growth of new technology has transformed the automotive business, shifting consumer demands surrounding digitization and rising automation. Diverse mobility, autonomous driving, electrification and connection are four disruptive technology-driven trends in the car industry. OEMs and automotive companies provide automotive closures, including window lifters, sliding doors, liftgates, sunroofs and convertible roofs as key features, especially in the higher and luxury classes, because they give additional comfort to users. In the next generation of automobiles, the tendency toward increased comfort functionality will be even more prominent.
The threat of security breaching is expected to restrain the market
Even though in-vehicle wireless connections and diagnostic information extraction pave the way for new valued services, people may use them to jeopardize the safety of car occupants. Because linked cars currently have features like keyless entry, preconditioning and window opening, hacking could result in stolen personal data. Even more catastrophic scenarios may see a hacker remotely take control of a car's steering and braking functions, putting people's lives in jeopardy.
However, some studies and field tests have presented solutions based on encryption, authentication, efficient key management and hardware security models. For instance, in July 2015, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers founded Auto-ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Centre) to address the challenge of cyber-security for these advanced featured cars.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Automotive OEMs and mobility industry businesses were the hardest hit during the COVID-19 crisis. COVID-19, by driving changes in the macroeconomic climate, legislative tendencies, technology and consumer behaviors, could have a long-term impact on mobility. However, because trends fluctuate by region, responses and results for mobility players will vary.
Segment Analysis
The global automotive closure market is segmented into manual closure and power closure based on type.
Power closure regulates the entry and exit points as direct interfaces to the driver and passengers. It is a key component of the user experience and a differentiator for automobile manufacturers. Further, a power liftgate, power doors, sliding doors, power tailgate, convertible power top and other smart power closures are now integrated into the cars.
Power windows have long been considered a basic feature of modern automobiles. Power lift gates and other smart power closures are becoming standard equipment rather than add-ons. The functions are similar in that they face challenges in supply, communication, sensing, actuation, control and quiescent current targets.
Therefore, companies are developing technologies to manage the system in the small space without troubling the convenience and comfort. For instance, Johnson Electric Holdings Limited developed compact power closures motors and actuators to improve power density while minimizing cabin area utilization.
Johnson Electric offers a broad spectrum of custom-engineered motion solutions, including power liftgates, power rear deck-lids, power sliding doors, door closure assist and door locks. Furthermore, integrated hall sensor position feedback is available, allowing precise and dependable position control.
