The global automotive industry has to increasingly meet the challenges of regulations and standards set by governments regarding emission of exhaust gases such as CO2, NOx, and particulate matter from internal combustion (IC) engines. Europe is the leading country to set the standard for emission regulation. Every Euro norm is more stringent and an improvement over the earlier, aiming to reduce harmful emissions and improving the efficiency of the engine. To achieve the demanding limits of emission rules, car manufacturers are increasingly relying on gasoline particulate filter (GPF) as one of the potential emission control devices. GPF is primarily used in the aftertreatment of GDI-equipped cars to limit the number of particles emitted as shorter air-fuel mixing time in GDI leads to 5 to 10 times higher particle emission than a similar sized port fuel injection (PFI) engine.

With the continuous technological advancement in the automotive world, there has been an increasing trend in installing more and more electrical accessories in vehicles, generating the requirement for powerful batteries to operate them.The demand in the automotive world for the replacement of parts and accessories is strengthening the growth of the aftermarket for such products including automotive batteries.Increased traffic congestion drains out batteries leading to shorter lifespans giving rise to the need for frequent replacement of batteries, resulting in a year-on-year growth for battery aftermarket.This report focuses on the current scenario and the prospects of the global automotive battery aftermarket for the period 2015-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the sales figures of the different vehicles segment such as passenger cars,LCVs, and M&HCVs. The multiplication factor has been derived based on the average life cycle of the battery for the different vehicle segments, which was multiplied by the sales figure of the different segments.

Stringent vehicle safety regulations and growing awareness about in-vehicle safety systems are driving the deployment of airbags in vehicles. In terms of vehicle type,passenger cars will continue to be the highest volume market due to rapid adoption of airbag systems, whereas light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) are expected to gain traction during the forecast

period owing to rising adoption of safety measures like airbags by commercial businesses such as fleet operators/freight businesses.

In 2016, the automotive industry witnessed a historical number of vehicle recalls by automakers such as Toyota, Nissan, Ferrari, and Mitsubishi among others because of hazardous inflators equipped by a leading airbag player. Such manufacturing defects and potential hazards associated with the chemicals contained in the airbag inflators can affect the confidence and buying decisions of consumers. Such issues need to be tackled well at the manufacturing and testing bases to earn the confidence of consumers regarding the safety benefits of having airbags installed in vehicles. These product recalls have indeed induced a negative sentiment about airbags as a safety device. However, Technavio predicts that with appropriate corrective measures by the players operating in this space, the market is bound to revive.
