Automotive Power Closures Market Size

The global automotive power closures market was valued at USD 9.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2025 and 2034. The global population continues to experience exponential growth in purchasing power, which has resulted in the growth of the global demand for power closures in the high-end vehicle markets. Due to the increased purchasing appetite for luxury vehicles, advanced comfort and ease-of-use technologies are expected as standard onboard vehicles.
 

For example, in United States, the GMI research report cites the global luxury car market size to have valued at 14.3 billion dollars and is expected to extend growth at a significantly high of 10 percent in the forecast period of 2023 to 2032 according to Sustaining growth in CRA emerged markets would. The expansion is also expected to be, overseen by the increases in UHNWI population and providing global growth in disposable incomes.

Companies that manufacture luxury vehicles, particularly in North American, Western European, or emerging Asian markets, are investing heavily in adopting automation as it makes their vehicles stand out. These advancements used to be a luxury; however, these are now a norm in automotive engineering, allowing for great innovation and growth in the markets.
 

The trend towards power closure systems has been sped up due to improved safety and ergonomic features. It is particularly beneficial for elderly and physically disabled users since it lessens the strain involved in door, trunk or tailgate closing. Among the safety needs, systems soft-close technology, intelligent sensors, and anti-pinch systems reduce the risks of the device during door operations. At the moment, there is a tendency for automotive manufacturers to focus on minimizing the risk for users, providing so-called ‘passive’ convenience in the form of not only controlled, smooth, and secure doors but also any other parts deemed necessary in a vehicle.
 

Automotive Power Closures Market Trends

There is a gradual transition in the automotive power closures industry with the rise of soft-close technologies that integrate advanced sensing features. These technologies also employ sensors to detect hindrances, regulate the force of closure, and ensure effortless operation. A combination of machine learning algorithms, proximity sensors, and pressure-sensitive controls enhances the safety and usability of such systems. The new generation of these technologies using AI for example can make these systems remember the preferences of the users and the conditions outside the car which in turn makes access to the vehicles simpler and safer.
 

As an illustration, Smarti Electronics introduced the smartATG system for automobiles' power tailgates in July 2023, which is equipped with AI and incorporates Anti-Tailgating and Anti-Piggybacking features along with smartXS plus 600358617 and 2Door 2Reader access controller and smart ONE. Alarms, SMS alerts, live recordings and images are used for monitoring in this system once it is integrated with a car.
 

The development of power closure systems for vehicles entails considerable costs on the side of automotive manufacturers. Engineering manpower, replicating prototypes, and conducting tests are expensive, and finding the exact components is also costly owing to high demand. The expenditure makes it difficult for small manufacturers to put money into such developments. Moreover, there is pressure to improve the existing technologies, which further increases the budget for R&D. It is still very challenging in the power closures industry to develop a cost-effective yet highly technological system.
