The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electrification of vehicles, lightweighting initiatives, autonomous vehicles, stricter emissions standards, advanced manufacturing techniques. Major trends in the forecast period include active suspension systems, sustainable materials, sealed and maintenance-free designs, customization for performance vehicles, integration of smart technologies.

The increasing production of vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive bushing market in the future. A vehicle is defined as a machine equipped with an engine and wheels, designed to transport people or cargo. In recent years, vehicle production has surged due to rapid urbanization and the expansion of global automotive manufacturers. Since bushings are integral components in all vehicles, a rise in vehicle production directly translates to an increased demand for automotive bushings. For example, in May 2023, the Driving Mobility Association, a manufacturers' group based in Europe, reported that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase compared to 2021. Thus, the growing vehicle production is fueling the growth of the automotive bushing market.

Anticipated growth in the automotive bushing market is closely associated with the rising demand for passenger cars. These vehicles, characterized by multiple tracks, their own driver, and predominantly designed for passenger transport, heavily rely on automotive bushings for ensuring occupants' comfort. Notably, a joint report by J. D. Power and GlobalData Plc forecasts a substantial increase in new car sales in the United States, reaching 1,354,600 units in August 2023, marking a 15. 4% surge from the same period the previous year. This surge is driven by an augmented need for personal transportation and improved supply. Consequently, the increased demand for passenger cars significantly propels the growth trajectory of the automotive bushing market.

Leading companies in the automotive bushings market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as intelligent cable connection bushings, to improve the efficiency and safety of medium voltage distribution systems. A cable connection bushing is a protective device designed to allow electrical cables to pass safely through a barrier, such as a wall or box, while ensuring the cable remains insulated and does not come into contact with other components. For instance, in April 2023, Siemens AG, a Germany-based automation firm, introduced the SIBushing, SICAM FCM Plus, and SIPROTEC 7SY82 to promote environmentally friendly practices in energy management. This product line features unique attributes, including high-precision measurement capabilities, advanced fault detection algorithms for greater transparency in medium voltage distribution systems, and multifunctional protection with Low Power Instrument Transformer (LPIT) inputs.

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 June 2022, Apollo Global Management, a US-based company specializing in high-growth asset management, undertook the acquisition of Tenneco for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is anticipated to assist Tenneco, a US-based company specializing in automotive product design, manufacturing, and marketing, in bolstering its investments across various segments and enhancing its global presence.

The automotive bushing market is comprised of sales of automotive bushings, which are cushions made from rubber, polyurethane, or other materials and are mounted on the joints of cars or other moving components. These bushings serve the purpose of absorbing road bumps, controlling the number of movements in the joints, and reducing noise and vibration.

The main product types of automotive bushings include damper top mounts, suspension arm bushings, subframe bushings, hydro bushings, engine mounts, and suspension mounts. Damper top mounts are mounted on the top strut and are used to provide ideal noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) performance, improving ride comfort, driving safety, and handling. Various vehicle types, such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles, utilize automotive bushings. These bushings find applications in engines, suspensions, chassis, interior, exhaust, and transmission. Automotive bushings are distributed through various channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
