The growing adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to boost demand in the power liftgate market. Electric vehicles are automotive vehicles that utilize one or more electric motors for propulsion, and power liftgates are commonly used in these vehicles. The increasing incorporation of technology in the automotive industry has led to significant advancements in components, with one notable feature being the hands-free capability that enhances the functionality of powered tailgates. As electric vehicles increasingly require auto-operated components like power liftgates, the rising adoption of electric vehicles will drive greater demand for these systems. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, electric car sales in 2023 were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. Thus, the growing adoption of electric vehicles fuels the expansion of the power liftgate market.
The power liftgate market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing sales of luxury vehicles. Luxury vehicles, renowned for their superior comfort, advanced features, and premium materials, often incorporate power liftgates to provide a convenient and sophisticated experience. Power liftgates in luxury vehicles offer hands-free access to the cargo area, contributing to an enhanced user experience. In December 2022, Cox Automotive reported a rise in the share of luxury vehicle sales, reaching 18. 2% in November, up from 17. 8% in October, indicating a historically high presence. This uptick in luxury vehicle sales is a driving factor for the growth of the power liftgate market.
A key trend in the power liftgate market is technological advancement in these systems. Technologically advanced power liftgates, including smart or hands-free variants, leverage sensors, control units, and other functionalities to enable hands-free opening and closing. Major players in the market are actively working on delivering technologically advanced power liftgates to attract more customers and expand their market presence. For example, German automotive supplier Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG offers advanced power liftgate drives equipped with additional functions such as a liftgate drive, sensors, latch with power cinching unit, control unit, and anti-trap protection.
Major companies in the power liftgate market are focusing on developing hands-free, foot-activated liftgates. These innovative liftgates provide effortless access to a vehicle's cargo area, emphasizing convenience and minimizing physical effort. Ford Motor Company introduced a hands-free, foot-activated liftgate in June 2022. This feature enables users to operate the liftgate without manual hand or button manipulation, utilizing sensors that generate an electric field. The liftgate offers alternative operation methods, including using the key fob, a button on the instrument panel, or a button in the liftgate handle beneath the license plate. Users can also customize the liftgate's opening height, and it includes safety features like automatic reversal if an obstacle is detected during the opening or closing motion.
