AUTOMOTIVE VENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automotive vents market size stood at USD 5.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 6.16 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 9.29 billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2033.

A device used to permit air or other gases to escape from an enclosed space is an automotive vent.

This can be crucial for a variety of applications, including automotive engines, where it provides cooling and ventilation to make the engine function more effectively.

The rising demand for passenger automobiles and commercial trucks, as well as rising public awareness of vehicle safety, are both contributing factors to the market's expansion.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Government Initiatives Led to Increase in Production and Inflated the Market Share

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic had a substantial impact on electric car sales in China, which decreased demand for automotive vents. The regional market's expansion was hampered by this. The market share of electric vehicles has, nevertheless, increased as a result of government measures. For instance, in China, there are limits on the number of new cars allowed on the road in order to lower pollution. Local governments are restricting new licence plate registrations to electric vehicles and removing limitations on the purchase of new electric vehicles in numerous significant Chinese cities where electric vehicles are already well-liked.

LATEST TRENDS

Protecting Vehicle Components and Balancing Air Flow Pressure to Drive the Market Share Potentially

The requirement for balancing airflow and water entrance pressure while minimizing heat and foreign material ingress, aautomotive vendors distinguish themselves by offering longer warranties on automotive components, whereas automobile manufacturers use miniaturization to maximize space. These changes, however, pose difficulties for manufacturers who must make more durable vents while reducing surface area and weight. Manufacturers are developing vent membranes to improve performance and resist tests such as ingress protection rating to meet these difficulties. During the projected period, the market is expected to experience a growth in the number of automotive vents manufacturers offering better membranes.

• By 2024, more than 68% of electric vehicle models globally adopted IP67 or higher-rated venting systems to protect batteries and sensors from dust and moisture ingress, driven by increasing consumer demand for off-road-capable and all-weather EVs.

• Over 5,500 newly manufactured vehicle models globally are now equipped with microporous PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) venting films in lighting enclosures and control units, with average pore sizes ranging between 0.2 and 1.0 microns for effective pressure equalization.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Demand for Vehicles to Boost the Market Growth

Due to rising demand for vehicles in emerging economies such as China and India, the global automotive sector is predicted to grow at an increasing CAGR during the projection period. In 2021, the passenger vehicle application segment dominated the global automotive vents market, accounting for more than half of total revenue. Because of rising demand for passenger automobiles in developing countries such as China, India, and Brazil, the vehicle market is likely to remain dominant. Furthermore, rising sales of high-end automobiles by key manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW are predicted to fuel industry growth during the projection period. The commercial vehicle application segment is also expected to grow at an increasing CAGR, owing to rising demand for commercial vehicles in developing nations such as Indonesia and Malaysia, which are expected to present growth opportunities in the near future.

Increasing Economic Activities and Rising Per Capita Income to Multiply the Production and Market Growth

Because public infrastructure, such as public transportation, is frequently insufficient for the dense urban population, urbanization leads to city expansion and an increase in consumer demand. As a result, people buy vehicles for convenience, and the automotive industry grows. Furthermore, the lack of last-mile connectivity supplied by railways raises demand for big commercial vehicles. The rise of e-commerce sites fuels this desire even further. Because automotive vents are necessary components of automobiles, the expansion of the automotive industry in emerging nations will be a major driver of the automotive vents market during the forecast period.

• According to revised transportation safety regulations, all lithium-ion powered vehicles sold after 2023 in over 30+ countries must include thermal management vents in battery enclosures to withstand internal pressure variations exceeding 200 millibars.

• The growth in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) has led to over 1.8 million vented sensor units being installed in global production vehicles in 2023 alone—requiring micro-venting to prevent condensation and ensure pressure balance in enclosed modules.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Short Product Lifecycle from Rapidly Evolving Technology and Changing Demand to Restrain the Market

To keep up with current innovations, companies must focus on developing new items or updating existing ones, which can be costly. As the amount of electronic components in vehicles grows, manufacturers must build tiny items, such as automotive vents, to make automobiles more capacious. This raises innovation and R&D expenditures even further because vendors must build technologies that allow for more airflow per membrane. As a result, the short product lifespan and continual product development, such as in automotive electronics, can diminish manufacturers' profit margins and stifle the growth of automotive vents market share.

• The cost of specialized vent materials like ePTFE and PU films increased by up to 19% between 2022 and 2024, due to disruptions in fluoropolymer supply chains, impacting the affordability for mid-range automotive applications.

• Testing data from 2023 showed that nearly 44% of prototype venting components failed initial qualification due to variances in thermal cycling, air permeability, and chemical resistance standards across regional automotive OEMs—slowing adoption in global programs.
