The hands-free power liftgate is an advanced technology that allows users to open and close the vehicle’s liftgate by waving their foot underneath the rear bumper. It is equipped with a motor, electrical wiring, and a sensor to read the foot motion and activate the liftgate mechanism. The hands-free power liftgate is widely used in commercial and passenger cars, such as sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and sedans. It enhances convenience, offers safety to delicate luggage, provides adjustable height functionality, and assists in loading and unloading cargo, such as adventure gears, sports bags, and groceries.
The increasing demand for luxury vehicles across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. In line with this, the rising expenditure capacities of consumers and the incorporation of enhanced performance, safety, and technological features in luxury cars are favoring the market growth. The hands-free power liftgate is widely used in high-end vehicles for improving customer experience and enhancing comfort levels. Additionally, the increasing demand for vehicle modifications among millennials to improve quality and functionality is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, significant growth in the autonomous and electric vehicles (EVs) sector due to the increasing focus of the manufacturers on providing safety and advanced features to consumers is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the implementation of favorable policies by several governments to promote EV adoption due to rising environmental concerns is facilitating the market growth. Besides this, the introduction of capacitive sensing and radio detection and ranging (RADAR) technologies to develop smart, hands-free power liftgate that offers personalized gesture recognition for safety enhancements and detects overhead objects to prevent a collision is providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities and the increasing demand for technologically advanced features, sensors, and electronic components in vehicles, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
