Power Tailgate System Market 2024

The power tailgate system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.95 billion in 2023 to $3.2 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increasing focus on enhancing convenience and user experience, rising demand for smart, adaptive, and self-controlling power liftgates, growing demand for power tailgates in passenger cars and commercial vehicles, expanding demand in the automotive industry, and a heightened emphasis on comfort and convenience features in vehicles.

The power tailgate system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the growing adoption of electric vehicles, increased vehicle electrification and hybridization, a rise in the acceptance of electric and hybrid vehicles, escalating demand for automation, and the integration of smart features. Key trends expected during this period include the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), innovative technologies in automobiles, advancements in vehicle sensors, developments in electric motor technology, and breakthroughs in drivetrain technologies.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive growth in the power tailgate system market in the future. Electric vehicles are defined as automobiles that are either fully powered by electric energy stored in batteries or utilize a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The rising interest in electric vehicles is largely due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower fuel costs, and comply with stricter environmental regulations, all while promoting sustainable and energy-efficient transportation. Power tailgate systems enhance the convenience and accessibility of the trunk by employing automated opening and closing mechanisms that are powered by the vehicle’s electrical system. For example, in March 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that the electric car market witnessed remarkable growth, with sales exceeding 10 million units in 2022. Electric vehicles accounted for 14% of all new cars sold that year, a significant increase from approximately 9% in 2021. Consequently, the growing demand for electric vehicles is propelling the expansion of the power tailgate system market.

Key companies in the power tailgate system market are focusing on creating innovative solutions, such as smart electric tailgate actuators, to enhance vehicle convenience, improve user safety, and facilitate seamless hands-free access while reducing energy consumption and increasing overall vehicle efficiency. Smart electric tailgate actuators are sophisticated components that allow for the automatic, hands-free opening and closing of vehicle tailgates, thereby providing enhanced convenience, safety, and efficiency in modern automotive systems. For instance, in May 2024, ZHAOWEI, a Chinese manufacturer of power transmission systems and gearboxes, introduced a smart electric tailgate actuator tailored for the automotive industry. This innovative product aims to improve the convenience and safety features of power tailgate systems in vehicles. The actuator is designed with an optimized gearbox and control line, which enhances torque output while minimizing noise during operation. It utilizes an electric spindle motor to operate the trunk lid spring and assist in opening the trunk cover.

A power tailgate system is an automated feature in vehicles that allows the rear door (tailgate) to open and close with the push of a button or through remote control. This system adds convenience by enabling hands-free operation, making it especially helpful when carrying items or loading cargo. It typically includes safety features such as sensors to detect obstacles, preventing the tailgate from closing when something is in the way.

The main types of power tailgate systems are conventional power liftgates and hands-free power liftgates. A conventional power liftgate opens and closes the rear door automatically with the press of a button. Key components of these systems include electric motors, control modules, sensors, wiring harnesses, struts or shocks, and door locks. Power tailgate systems are available for vehicles with different propulsion types, including internal combustion engines (ICE) and electric vehicles. They are used across various vehicle categories such as passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and heavy vehicles and are sold through different channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
