Increasing Demand For Passenger’s Safety Is Driving The Global Automotive Energy Absorption (EA) Pads Market

Automotive energy absorption (EA) pads are the mountings on a vehicle interior trim panel and provide a controlled collapse under impact collisions in order to minimize contact between the vehicle body and the passenger. Automotive energy absorption (EA) pads are a hollow body having a sidewall, an end wall, and an open end. Automotive energy absorption (EA) pads have become one of the most important element in the automobile interior components. These are made of polymers and plastics materials possessing high absorption efficiency during the time of collisions and protects the passenger from damage.

The growing use of automotive energy absorption (EA) pads, mainly of side impact pads has been witnessed during the last decade. The shock absorbing capacity and reduced weight of expanded polypropylene and polypropylene are major characteristics making the higher use of automotive energy absorption (EA) pads in the automotive industry. Moreover, with the increasing focus of automobile manufacturers towards passengers safety is making the automotive energy absorption pads more popular nowadays. Additionally, government norms related to passengers safety is also making the automotive energy absorption (EA) pads a mandatory feature in the automobiles.
