For instance, Stabilus, a key industry player, is focusing on environmentally-friendly operations.

As end-users are now showing a marked preference for companies that care about the environment, Stabilus has worked upon getting certified according to standards.

The company is DIN EN ISO 5000, DIN ISO 1400, and DIN ISO 9001 certified, and is also RoHS compliant.

Businesses in the gas string sector undergo mergers and acquisitions to increase market share and revenues.

Gas spring manufacturers make acquisitions to improve their R&D and gain access to global markets.

For instance, Barnes Group, a global provider of highly engineered products, focusing on innovative custom solutions, has acquired IGS (Industrial Gas Springs Group Holdings Limited).

As part of the Nitrogen Gas Products strategic business unit, IGS will operate under Barnes's Industrial Segment. This will cater to different end users like medical, general, aerospace and industrial sectors.

Gas Spring Market: Introduction

The evolution in the residential and automotive sectors has led to higher acceptance of equipment such as gas spring that are used for opening, lifting, closing, adjusting and positioning applications in varied fields.

A gas spring is a type of spring other than typical mechanical spring that generally relies on elastic deformation.

It uses compressed gas contained within a walled cylinder closed by a sliding piston to store potential energy and endure external force applied parallel to the direction of the piston shaft.

Gas springs are expected to emerge as an important equipment in the near future and will be used in various applications including furniture, automotive, medical, industrial, etc.

Different types of gas spring are available based on need including lockable gas spring, lift gas spring, swivel chair gas spring, non-lockable gas spring, damper and gas traction spring.

More recently, gas springs have been perceiving a heave in demand in the automotive and industrial applications. Gas springs are mostly used in the automotive industry to adjust passenger seats and for opening & closing of dicky and bonnet.
