Gas springs are mechanical devices that use compressed gas to absorb shock and generate assist force for industrial and automotive applications. They provide cost effective and efficient method of motion control by facilitating functions such as lift assistance, positioning, lowering and closing of various components. Gas springs find applications in automobile seats, liftgates, trunk lids, vehicle hoods and doors. They are also extensively used in furniture industry for chairs, tables and other products that require up and down motion. Gas springs are maintenance free and can withstand harsh environment over long periods of time.
The global Gas Spring Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,000.0 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent
Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the gas spring market is the growing demand from automotive industry. Automotive sector is undergoing transformation with increasing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles globally.
