The airbag textile market refers to the segment of technical textiles used in the manufacturing of airbags for automotive safety systems. These textiles are primarily woven fabrics made of nylon or polyester, designed to withstand high pressure and extreme conditions during airbag deployment. The demand for airbag textiles has grown significantly with the rising emphasis on vehicle safety standards, increasing automotive production, and the mandatory implementation of airbags in many regions.

The global airbag textile market was valued at USD 6 billion in 2023 and grew at a CAGR of 7% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 11.80 billion by 2033. The increasing demand for high end and superior safety features in automobiles will drive the growth of the global airbag textile market.
