The automotive door systems market is witnessing a transformative phase, particularly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. As vehicle production surges in emerging economies and consumer preferences shift toward advanced features, the demand for innovative door systems is set to reshape the automotive landscape. Against this backdrop, the APAC automotive doors market is forecast to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.0% over 2025-30, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
GlobalData’s latest report, “Global Sector Overview & Forecast: Automotive Doors Q2 2025,” reveals that the APAC automotive doors market is poised to grow from an estimated volume of 241.9 million units in 2025 to 254.1 million units in 2030.
Madhuchhanda Palit, Automotive Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “In the APAC region, manufacturers are increasingly adopting lightweight materials and advanced vehicle locking mechanisms to enhance safety and fuel efficiency. The integration of innovative designs, such as scissor and gullwing doors, while still niche, reflects a growing consumer appetite for stylish and technologically sophisticated vehicles. Furthermore, the focus on sound insulation and comfort has led to the incorporation of advanced materials that minimize road noise, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs), where cabin acoustics are paramount. These enhancements not only elevate the driving experience but also align with the region’s push for sustainability and efficiency.”
The rapid growth of the automotive sector in countries like China and India is a significant catalyst for the doors market expansion, as rising disposable incomes lead to increased vehicle ownership. Additionally, the preference for SUVs and crossovers, which often feature more complex door systems, is contributing to the market growth.
Palit adds: “The region’s stringent safety regulations are also fostering innovation, compelling manufacturers to adopt advanced technologies that enhance vehicle safety and ergonomics. As electric and autonomous vehicles gain traction, the need for specialized door designs that accommodate these technologies is expected to further drive demand.”
The evolution of automotive door systems is not merely a reflection of technological advancement but a crucial component in shaping the future of the automotive market in the APAC region. The integration of electric and autonomous vehicle technologies presents both challenges and opportunities for manufacturers. As these vehicles prioritize seamless passenger entry and exit, innovative door designs will become essential.
