Power Sliding Door Market for Automotive

Power Sliding Door Market for Automotive- Key Players are AISIN SEIKI Co., Ltd., DURA Automotive
Systems, LLC., ALEX ORIGINAL LTD.
Generally, the door of an automobile is hinged to the automobile in such a way that the door opens
away from the vehicle. However, sliding doors are mounted on a track and open by sliding horizontally.
Sliding doors are mostly preferred for minivans and commercial vehicles, as they offer a wider opening
and enable easy loading and unloading of load or goods. Sliding doors can be operated manually or by
some kind of actuating device. Power sliding doors are generally operated by the using actuating devices
that sense their position and accordingly slide horizontally when signal or command is given.
Key drivers of the automotive power sliding door market is less space required for opening coupled with
ease of opening. When a sliding door opens, it comes about only three inches away from the vehicle
body and slides either in the rear or front direction. The conventional and other types of doors,
however, require considerable space to open. The availability of space for vehicle parking is a big issue
for vehicle owners, especially in urban areas, sliding doors can help overcome this issue. The number of
vehicles running on the roads is increasing day by day, as well as construction of new buildings is rapidly
increasing, resulting in less space availability for other purposes. Parking space available at shopping
complexes, hospitals, airports, railway stations, and several other public places is limited, and the need
for parking space becomes a significant issue during rush hours. Consequently, several auto
manufacturers are focusing on incorporating vehicles with power sliding doors.

A few restraints of the market are its cost and higher weight. Power sliding doors are more expensive
than conventional doors. The mechanism used in a sliding door makes it heavy, thus reduces the vehicle
efficiency. Therefore, sliding doors are not installed on a large number of vehicles. Sliding doors also
have a drawback that opening a sliding door is considerably difficult in case of a side-on collision or
crash.
Research and developments in the field of metallurgy has offered numerous opportunities for the
automotive power sliding door market. Invention of carbon fiber and other composites can make sliding
doors lighter in weight, thus enabling higher utilization on vehicles.
The power sliding door market for automotive can be segmented based on drive type, direction of
opening, vehicle type, and geography. In terms of drive type, the power sliding door for automotive can
be segregated into three segments. Electric drive type doors are preferred on most vehicles, as they
provide better control over opening and closing.
In terms of direction of opening, the power sliding door market for automotive can be classified into two
major segments. Horizontally opening doors are most popular type of power sliding doors. Horizontally
opening doors are further classified into two sub-segments.
Based on vehicle type, the market can be segmented into two segments. Mostly, commercial vehicles
prefer to have sliding doors. Sliding doors provide bigger space in order to load and unload components,
equipment, and other things without any obstruction. Therefore, several minivans, mini buses, and light
commercial vehicles have sliding doors.
Based on geography, the power sliding door market for automotive can be segmented into five
prominent regions. North America has the highest number of commercial vehicles using sliding doors.
Several passenger and commercial vehicles in Europe have power sliding doors. As the vehicle
automation is higher in North America and Europe, the automotive power sliding doors has a significant
demand in these regions.
Key players operating in the power sliding door market for automotive include AISIN SEIKI Co., Ltd.,
DURA Automotive Systems, LLC., ALEX ORIGINAL LTD. Engineering Co., tsienna, Auto Cool Ind. Ltd., ILCA,
and Stedall. Sliding doors are frequently utilized presently; however, advancements in the field of
research and development by automotive engineers are likely to offer lucrative opportunities for
original equipment manufacturers.
