For instance, in January 2024, the Indian government introduced new safety norms to significantly reduce accidents. These norms mandate advanced safety features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS), and airbags for all new cars. The rollout is phased, with deadlines for compliance ranging from 2021 to 2023, marking a significant improvement over previous safety standard.

Another driver of the market is the advancement of automotive technologies. As vehicles become more technologically advanced, integrating systems like ADAS and connected car technologies, the need for more sophisticated airbag control units has increased. Modern ACUs are designed to interact with sensors, cameras, and other safety features, enhancing airbag deployment accuracy and response time. This integration of airbag systems with other automotive technologies is pushing the development and adoption of more advanced ACUs, driving market growth.
