Automotive Tailgate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Manual, Electric, Hydraulic), By Material Type (Plastic Composite, Metal, Other Polymers), By Vehicle Type (PC, LCV, HCV) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The automotive tailgate is the rear door in a vehicle, which provides access to the boot area of the vehicle. These are majorly found in sedan, compact SUVs, SUVs, hatchbacks, pickup trucks, etc. Tailgates are mostly electric, hydraulic, and manually operated. Along with aerodynamic shape, tailgates provides a decent look to the vehicle. Tailgates also help to avoid outside noise and water leakage inside the vehicle. Tailgates are made up of plastic composites, metal, or other polymers. Rising trend of engine downsizing is, in turn, fuelling the demand for tailgates made up of plastic composites, as they are light in weight. Key manufacturers are focusing on producing tailgates, which are light in weight and meet the safety norms imposed by the government. For example, Magna International and Plastic Ominum provide composite materials to automobile manufacturing companies such as Peugeot, Range Rover, and Citroen C4.
