Automotive Bushing Market Report 2026

The automotive bushing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $167.47 billion in 2025 to $177.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive production growth, suspension system evolution, demand for comfort-oriented vehicles, widespread rubber bushing usage, chassis durability requirements.

The automotive bushing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $225.8 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle platform adoption, demand for lightweight components, stricter noise vibration standards, growth in vehicle parc, advanced material adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward lightweight and durable bushings, rising use of polyurethane materials, demand for noise and vibration reduction, growth of aftermarket replacement, increased focus on ride comfort.

The rising demand for passenger cars is expected to drive the growth of the automotive bushing market in the coming years. Passenger cars are multi-track vehicles fitted with at least two axles and typically four wheels, primarily designed for carrying passengers. The increasing preference for passenger cars is fueled by growing urban mobility requirements, rising disposable incomes, and expanding automotive manufacturing. Automotive bushings play a vital role in improving vehicle comfort, minimizing noise and vibration, and delivering a smooth ride experience for passengers. For example, in March 2024, according to a report released by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automotive industry standards organization, global passenger car production exceeded 76 million units in 2023, reflecting a 10.2% increase compared with the previous year. Therefore, the growing demand for passenger cars is contributing to the expansion of the automotive bushing market.

Leading companies in the automotive bushing market are concentrating on creating advanced solutions, such as new H-D suspension bushing tool kits, to improve vehicle performance and comfort. The new H-D (Harley-Davidson) suspension bushing tool is a specialized instrument designed for the maintenance and replacement of suspension bushings in Harley-Davidson motorcycles. For example, in June 2024, OTC Tool Company, a U.S.-based manufacturer of tools and equipment, introduced the 4247-FR Suspension Bushing Kit with Pump and the 4254-FR Suspension Bushing Adapter Kit for the removal and installation of heavy-duty suspension bushings. The 4247-FR Suspension Bushing Kit with Pump features an air/hydraulic pump and a 25-ton hydraulic cylinder, enabling efficient removal and installation of bushings without the need for heat. Meanwhile, the 4254-FR Suspension Bushing Adapter Kit includes centering adapters for proper alignment, ensuring quick and reliable service in heavy-duty applications.

In April 2024, Foxconn, a Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, acquired a 50% stake in ZF Chassis Modules GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Foxconn intends to reinforce its presence in the automotive sector by utilizing ZF’s expertise in axle system assembly and expanding its portfolio across both internal combustion engine and electric vehicles. ZF Chassis Modules GmbH is a Germany-based company that provides chassis systems and axle assemblies for passenger cars, including automotive bushings.
