The global air suspension market is expected to be worth around $5 billion by 2021
Over the years, suspension systems have progressed from leaf to coil-overs to the now trending fad of air suspension systems. Originally, their use was limited to commercial vehicles, luxury cars, and buses. However, today, air suspension systems are used across various segments of the automotive industry. The primary drivers for the global air suspension market are the rising demand for luxury and comfort, as a result of improved disposable income, and increasing preference towards luxury public transport for long distance travel among customers.
