According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Vehicle Exterior Door Handle Market," The vehicle exterior door handle market size was valued at $5.8 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $9.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2023 to 2032.
The global vehicle exterior door handle industry is dominated by Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe, North America, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific is expected to maintain significant growth in the global market, particularly driven by China, India, South Korea, and Japan. The major factors driving the growth of the vehicle exterior door handle market in Asia-Pacific include rise in adoption of electric vehicles, growth in population, and increase in disposable income of consumers. Development and expansion of road infrastructure and transportation networks support the growth of the automotive market in the region. The improved connectivity and mobility options act as a catalyst for increased vehicle ownership, leading to a surge in demand for automotive components such as vehicle exterior door handles.
Based on type, the pull out handle segment held the highest market share in 2022. Pull-out door handles are utilized in a diverse range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and hatchbacks on account of their effortless operation and ease of use. The flush door handle segment is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Flush door handles have gained significant popularity in modern car designs, particularly in high-end and luxury vehicles. The minimalist and sophisticated look of the flush-type door handles enhances the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.
The global automotive industry has witnessed growth, leading to a higher demand for cars, trucks, and other vehicles equipped with vehicle exterior door handles. Moreover, automotive manufacturers constantly aim to integrate innovative features into exterior door handles, such as keyless entry systems, touch-sensitive sensors, and smart access technology, attracting consumers and enhancing convenience. For instance, in July 2023, Mahindra revealed the features of its SUV XUV700. The car features a smart door handle integrated into the body panel and is equipped with a sensor for automatic operation, which enables it to automatically pop out when touched or when the car is unlocked. Such innovative features in the door handle system is expected to drive the growth of the market.
In addition, the rise in the demand for vehicles with enhanced security features, and robust and reliable exterior door handles is expected to contribute to the growth of the vehicle exterior door handle market during the forecast period.
The demand for lightweight materials and sustainable solutions drives innovation in the automotive industry. Automobile manufacturers adopt door handles designed with new eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes. For instance, Mercedes-Benz, a German luxury automobile manufacturer has taken a significant step toward sustainability by incorporating chemical recycling components into their series production.
Since 2022, the EQE and S-Class series-production models have been offering bow door handles made using a unique combination of biomethane and pyrolysis oil sourced from scrap tires, instead of relying on conventional fossil resources. This eco-friendly approach not only reduces dependence on raw fossil materials, however, also supports the principles of circular economy and waste reduction.
In addition, door handle manufacturers aim to use materials to design door handles with less weight to improve performance of the vehicles. For instance, Huf provides automotive makers with door handles systems that weigh less than one kilogram. Such factors are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market.
