Automotive Drawer Slides Market Report 2026

The automotive drawer slides market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.03 billion in 2025 to $7.49 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emergency vehicle procurement, utility vehicle customization, mechanical component standardization, growth of service vehicles, demand for durable fittings.

The automotive drawer slides market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of electric emergency vehicles, lightweight material adoption, modular vehicle interiors, demand for enhanced safety standards, fleet modernization. Major trends in the forecast period include growth in specialized emergency vehicles, demand for heavy-duty sliding systems, adoption of corrosion-resistant materials, customization for utility vehicles, focus on safety and locking mechanisms.

The growing production of passenger vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive drawer slides market going forward. Passenger vehicles are motor vehicles primarily designed for transporting people rather than goods or cargo. Growth in passenger vehicle production is supported by strong consumer demand, improved affordability of car ownership, advancements in automotive technologies, and competitive market conditions. Automotive drawer slides contribute to passenger vehicles by improving storage efficiency, optimizing interior space utilization, and enhancing overall passenger comfort and vehicle functionality. For example, in March 2024, according to a report published by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automobile industry standards organization, global passenger car production exceeded 76 million units in 2023, representing a 10.2% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, increasing passenger vehicle production is driving the growth of the automotive drawer slides market.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is also expected to propel the growth of the automotive drawer slides market going forward. Electric vehicles are battery- or fuel-cell-powered automobiles designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease dependence on fossil fuels, and they are increasingly used for both personal and commercial transportation. The growth in EV adoption is driven by government incentives, stricter emission regulations, and growing consumer preference for sustainable mobility solutions. Automotive drawer slides enhance vehicle usability by providing organized, accessible, and secure storage for tools, equipment, and personal items in passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. For instance, in October 2025, according to the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC), an Australia-based industry advocacy organization, Australia’s national EV fleet surpassed 410,000 vehicles, with electric vehicles accounting for 12.1% of new car sales and 72,758 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) sold during the first half of 2025. Therefore, rising electric vehicle adoption and increasing passenger vehicle numbers are driving the growth of the automotive drawer slides market.

Key companies operating in the automotive drawer slides market are focusing on innovation by introducing advanced products, such as next-generation drawer systems, to improve functionality and address evolving consumer demands for efficiency and durability. Next-generation drawer systems significantly enhance operational efficiency, safety, and user experience in automotive applications, making them a valuable addition to modern vehicles across multiple sectors. For instance, in October 2023, DECKED, a US-based manufacturer of cargo van storage systems, launched advanced drawer systems for pickup trucks. These systems improve storage and organization for outdoor enthusiasts by providing increased capacity, enhanced weatherproofing, and integrated cargo tie-downs. The technological advancements include new molding techniques that offer greater durability and redesigned components that deliver improved environmental protection. This innovation sets a new benchmark in automotive drawer slides, optimizing space utilization and functionality for both full-size and mid-size truck models.
