The global vehicle exterior door handle market is expected to witness growth owing to an increase in vehicle production and a rise in the focus on aesthetics & design. Moreover, there is a rise in the integration of advanced systems such as phones as a key system, which primarily relies on the vehicle's proximity sensors and the smartphone's Bluetooth or Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. When the authorized smartphone is within a certain range of the vehicle, the sensors of the vehicle detect its presence and the smartphone app communicates with the car's onboard computer to perform actions such as unlocking the doors and starting the vehicle.
The development of biometric and gesture recognition technologies is a significant driver for the vehicle exterior door handle market. These cutting-edge technologies offer innovative ways to enhance vehicle access and security, transforming the traditional door handle into a sophisticated and futuristic component. Biometric technologies, such as fingerprint scanners or facial recognition systems, provide a highly secure and personalized method of accessing vehicles. By authenticating the driver's identity through unique biometric data, the door handle ensures that only authorized individuals unlock and operate the vehicle, significantly reducing the risk of theft or unauthorized access. Biometric door handle systems eliminate the need for traditional keys or key fobs. Gesture recognition technologies enable touchless interaction with the door handle. Manufacturers install such systems in vehicles that detect specific hand movements or gestures.
For instance, the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric model developed by Volvo Car Corporation features keyless locking and unlocking function with touch-sensitive surfaces. This feature provides a convenient and modern way for users to access and secure their vehicles without using traditional key buttons. The outside of the door handles contains a recess for locking, while the inside contains a touch-sensitive surface for unlocking. To lock the car, users simply touch the outside of the door handle, which contains a recessed area specifically designed for locking. Similarly, to unlock the car, users need to only touch the inside of the door handle, where a touch-sensitive surface is located for this purpose.

Executive Summary
The vehicle exterior door handle market is likely to experience a growth rate of 5.1% from 2023-2032 owing to rise in adoption of electric vehicles and increase in the demand for vehicle aesthetics & design during the forecast periodA vehicle exterior door handle is a mechanical component installed on the outer surface of an automobile's door, designed to facilitate easy opening, and closing of the door. It is the primary means of access for passengers to enter or exit the vehicle from the outside. A door handle is typically connected to a latch mechanism, which secures the door when closed and releases it when the handle is actuated. Door handles play a significant role in the overall aesthetics and design of the vehicle's exterior. Automakers often incorporate stylish and visually appealing door handle designs that complement the vehicle's overall appearance. Vehicle exterior door handles are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials, catering to different vehicle types and design preferences. Door handles are manufactured from materials such as metal alloys, plastics, composites, and others.
Significant impacting factors in the growth of the vehicle exterior door handle market include surge in the production of vehicles, increase in the demand for vehicle aesthetics & design, and rise in the integration of smart access & keyless entry systems. However, high cost due to integration of advanced technological solutions and stringent safety & regulatory standards hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, the development of biometric & gesture recognition technologies and the rise in the demand for lightweight materials & sustainable solutions are factors expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.
The vehicle exterior door handle market is segmented on the basis of the type, material, distribution channel, vehicle class, and region. By type, it is classified into pull up handle, pull out handle, flush door handle, and others. By material, the market is divided into aluminum, plastic, stainless steel, and others. By distribution channel type, it is bifurcated into OEM and aftermarket. By vehicle class, it is categorized into sedan, hatchback, SUV, and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America (U. S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).
A pull out door handle is a type of vehicle exterior door handle that is operated by pulling the handle in the outward direction. It features a protruding grip designed for easy grasping by the driver or passenger. When the handle is pulled, it engages the latch or lock, enabling the door to open. Pull-out door handles have been a longstanding and widely adopted feature in the automotive industry. The protruding grip of these handles facilitates easy locating and grasping, even in low-light situations or when quick access to the vehicle is necessary. Their user-friendly design allows effortless operation, making them suitable for individuals of all ages and physical capabilities to enter and exit the vehicle. Pull-out door handles are utilized in a diverse range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and hatchbacks.
Plastic is a widely used material in the manufacturing of vehicle door handles. Plastic is significantly lighter than metals such as steel or aluminum, contributing to overall weight reduction in the vehicle. Reduced weight enhances fuel efficiency and performance. It is more cost-effective than metal materials, making it an economical choice for mass production in the automotive industry for the manufacturing of automotive components such as vehicle exterior door handles.
Automotive exterior door handles endure multiple mechanical and environmental pressures. They face constant exposure to humidity, UV light, and fluctuating temperatures. In addition, they withstand physical strains and the effects of perspiration and dirt. Vehicle door handles are typically manufactured using plastics such as PBT, fiber-reinforced PA, or ABS to achieve weight reduction, cost efficiency, and enhanced safety. Moreover, these plastic components require painting to achieve the desired optimal appearance and tactile sensation. Polyamide (PA/ Nylon 6/6, Nylon 6), Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) are a few types of plastic used for manufacturing vehicle exterior door handles. Moreover, the automotive industry is gradually moving toward sustainable practices. Therefore, manufacturers explore the use of recycled or bio-based plastics for door handle production to reduce environmental impact.
