The global automotive anti-pinch power window system market is expected to grow by USD 2.37 billion from 2022 to 2027, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.51%, according to a new report by Technavio, a leading market research firm. The report covers the market size, share, trends, drivers, challenges, and opportunities of the automotive anti-pinch power window system market across different regions and segments.
An automotive anti-pinch power window system is a safety feature that prevents the power window from closing when it detects an obstacle, such as a finger, a hand, or a pet, in its path. The system uses sensors, actuators, and controllers to monitor and control the movement of the power window. The system can either reverse the direction of the power window or stop it completely when it senses an obstruction.
The automotive anti-pinch power window system is important for enhancing the safety and comfort of the vehicle occupants, as it prevents injuries and damages caused by the power window. The system also helps in reducing the noise and vibration of the power window, as well as the power consumption and the wear and tear of the components. The system is especially useful for children, elderly, and disabled passengers, who may not be able to react quickly or properly to the power window.
