DUBLIN—Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Curtain Airbags Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global automotive curtain airbags market to grow at a CAGR of 6.56% during the period 2016-2020.

Trends indicate that future regulations on curtain airbags may boost the market. Almost all vehicle models across the globe today are equipped with airbags as a factory fitment. Strict safety regulations implemented across the globe by regulatory bodies is the prime reason, as also the fact that airbags reduce the risk of fatalities and injuries.

In certain parts of the world such as US, Europe, and Australia, there is high penetration of vehicles equipped with the system of multi-level control airbags and side collision airbags (side airbags and curtain shield airbags). There is a huge market for curtain airbags in Asian countries as well.

According to the report, fatalities caused due to rollovers and side impact collisions are driving market growth. Airbags are central to passenger safety in a moving vehicle, because such devices are designed to reduce fatalities during collisions. Airbags are attached on steering panels, front instrument panels, and sides of car doors. These are common and come as factory fit in almost all vehicles manufactured nowadays. Manufacturers have introduced curtain airbags, which are mounted on the top of doors and roofs. These protect passengers during side collisions and rollovers.

Further, the report states that functional issues with airbags leads consumers to believe that airbag technology is not fully mature.
