Rising demand from automotive industry drive the market

Presently, the market for automotive actuators is primarily motivated by increasing automation and digitalization. Increasing awareness of fuel efficiency and rising demand for comfort, particularly in commuter vehicles, is driving the growth of the automotive actuators market. It is because actuators are an indispensable part of electronic control systems present in passenger and commercial automobiles. It is their work to convert the electrical signals from the control unit into action or motion. Generally, actuators are in the form of electric motors or electromagnetic valves.

They make adjustments to flaps and control the flow of fluids or actuate pumps to build pressure in systems like brake and steering. In the engine control system, actuators adjust the idle speed, monitor air flaps for torque and power optimization, and meter fuel for optimum combustion conditions. They also find usage in locking and unlocking car doors or for remotely controlling the fuel filler flaps, storage chambers, boot lids, engine bonnets, etc. To improve passenger safety and comfort, OEMs globally are producing electric actuators as one of the major areas of focus.

As a part of that endeavor, electric actuators have also gained significant interest in recent years. For example, actuators are utilized in seats for modifying lumbar support systems, seat placing angles, and for seat track actuators. Numerous automotive seat adjustment actuators are accessible in the market, such as geared motors for recliner adjustment, double output shaft needed for track drives, and linear actuators for utilization in height and tilt modifications. Challenges related to traditional actuators, such as cost, overheating, and issues related to contamination, are excluded in electrical actuation systems.

With improvements in technology, autonomous vehicles are likely to install various actuators to enhance security and comfort. The modern-day passenger vehicle is equipped with approximately 120 motors to control various applications such as headlight setting, seat modification, grill shutter, and HVAC systems, among others. Actuators play a crucial role in initiating these applications as they convert an electric signal into the necessary linear and rotary motion to deliver the required physical change.

The linear actuator segment accounts for the largest market size during the forecast period

Based on type, linear actuators segment is projected to lead the actuators market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to their increased use in packaging machines, medical equipment, production machinery, transportation, and aerospace & defense industries.

The electrical segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on actuation, the electrical segment is estimated to account for the highest share in the actuators market in 2021. Electrical actuators provide increased control and acceleration at high speeds. The force for applying thrust can be programmed without the requirement for compressed air and the related infrastructure, and the total energy consumption in these actuators is low.
