The analysts forecast the Global Automotive Bumpers market to grow at a CAGR of 4.76 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is improved safety provided to the vehicles. The Global Automotive Bumpers market has also been witnessing the growing adoption of plastic bumpers. However, the inefficiency issues could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

The report, the Global Automotive Bumpers Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Automotive Bumpers market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

A major trend being witnessed in the Global Automotive Bumpers market is the increasing preference for plastic bumpers over traditional metal ones. Metal bumpers were extremely popular in the past as they are very sturdy and durable. However, automobile manufacturers currently prefer using plastic bumpers as they can be used to increase the aesthetic appeal of an automobile. Also, plastic bumpers have an additional structure embedded within them. This structure contains foam energy absorbers which facilitate better protection for the automobile. It is expected that these features will increase the use of plastic bumpers significantly in the coming years.

According to the report, the main factor driving the use of bumpers across all geographies is the fact that they provide improved safety for the driver and passengers. Bumpers help in minimizing the impact of an accident and thereby improve the safety of occupants.

Further, the report states that the major challenge faced by the market is the inefficiency of bumpers. There are many instances where the bumpers do not fit correctly with the automobile geometry and tend not to stay engaged in the required position. This can be a major issue during collisions as the main purpose of the bumpers is not achieved.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
