Global Automotive OPW Airbag Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Automotive OPW Airbag market size is predicted to grow from US$ 563 million in 2025 to US$ 862 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global production of automotive OPW airbags reached 9.442 million units, with an average selling price of US$61 per unit. Automotive OPW airbags are safety airbags manufactured using a one-piece woven process, where the airbag's cavity, compartments, and woven-in seams/boundaries are integrated into a single, one-piece structure. This eliminates the need for sewing, allowing for more complex chamber and air passage designs. It offers advantages such as excellent airtightness, high stability, excellent elongation, and long inflation retention time. It is primarily used in automotive safety applications such as curtain airbags (CAB) and rollover protection, especially in high-end models. The upstream of the industry chain consists of industrial yarn for airbags (PA66/PET), weaving and jacquard equipment (supporting OPW woven into the structure), finishing/coating/lamination, and cutting processes; the midstream consists of airbag bag manufacturers (OPW weaving + necessary post-processing and assembly); and the downstream consists of vehicle OEMs assembling the bags. OPW reduces sewing processes, improves consistency, and reduces labor and waste, which helps to improve the manufacturing cost structure, with gross profit margins typically ranging from 35% to 45%.

Global key Automotive OPW Airbag players cover Indorama Ventures, Global Safety Textiles, HS Hyosung, HMT (Xiamen) New Technical Materials, Stäubli International, etc.
