AUTOMOTIVE VENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automotive vents market size was USD 6.16 billion in 2025, is expected to rise to USD 6.49 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% throughout the period from 2025 to 2035.

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.

• According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), over 7.5 million automotive air vent systems were upgraded in passenger vehicles in 2023 to incorporate improved airflow efficiency and particulate filtration.

• According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), 65% of newly launched vehicles in the EU in 2023 featured advanced climate control vents with integrated HEPA filters to enhance cabin air quality.

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 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), vehicles equipped with advanced ventilation systems reported a 22% reduction in cabin air particulate matter exposure in 2023, driving increased adoption of high-performance automotive vents.

• According to the Japan Automotive Manufacturers Association (JAMA), over 1.2 million hybrid and electric vehicles produced in 2023 utilized precision-engineered vents to optimize battery thermal management, supporting the growth of the automotive vents market.

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.

• According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the average manufacturing cost for advanced automotive vent systems exceeded $145 per unit in 2023, limiting their integration into budget vehicle segments.

• According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 18% of small- and mid-sized automotive manufacturers in 2023 reported production delays due to shortages of precision vent components and airflow sensors.
