- Germany is projected to keep a 0.8-point lead over Brazil, supported by its passenger-car engineering base and high electronic content in new vehicle programs.
- Brazil is estimated to remain 0.8 points ahead of the USA, reflecting a growing light-vehicle base and rising use of electrified vehicle technologies.
- The USA is forecast to stay 0.8 points above the UK, supported by utility-vehicle demand and the large rear closures used on SUVs and crossovers.
- The UK is anticipated to hold a 0.8-point lead over Japan as new vehicle registrations keep a broad flow of current models entering the fleet.
- Japan is projected to close the listed range at 6.0%, where compact packaging and integrated electronics shape power-tailgate design choices.
Comparable CAGRs create different entry conditions because vehicle mix and feature pricing vary by country. Local engineering and body styles add further differences. Coverage includes North America and Latin America. Western and Eastern Europe are included with East Asia. South Asia & Pacific and Middle East & Africa complete the coverage.
As per Fact.MR survey, the power tailgate supply chain starts with motors and sensors before moving to control units and struts. Tier-1 suppliers combine these parts into complete systems for vehicle makers. Market growth depends on steady component supply and wider factory fitment across SUVs, crossovers and premium vehicles.

What supports Germany’s outlook?
9.2% CAGR, supported by passenger-car scale and vehicle-access engineering.
Germany’s large passenger car export industry gives power tailgate suppliers many vehicle models to serve. In September 2026, Destatis reported that Germany exported about 2.0 million new passenger cars from January to July 2026 [8]. Compact motors and control systems work across both premium and mass-market vehicles.
How is Brazil scaling demand?
8.4% CAGR, led by an expanding electrified-vehicle base and passenger-car use.
Brazil is seeing more electric and hybrid vehicles, along with greater use of electronic features in new models. In June 2026, EPE reported that cumulative registrations of electrified vehicles in Brazil reached 396.8 thousand units in 2025 [5]. Power tailgate motors work with the same vehicle control systems used for other comfort features.
What underpins the USA outlook?
7.6% CAGR, backed by utility-vehicle demand and large rear cargo openings.
The U.S. has a large number of SUVs and light trucks, where power tailgates make loading and unloading cargo easier. In February 2026, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that light vehicle sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 14.81 million units in January 2026 [6]. This gives suppliers more opportunities to offer power tailgates on utility vehicles with added comfort features.
What is supporting the UK market?
6.8% CAGR, shaped by a steady flow of newly registered vehicles.
Steady vehicle registrations in the UK give vehicle makers more models where power tailgates can be installed during production. In September 2026, the Department for Transport reported that 682,000 vehicles were first registered in Q2 2026 [7]. Suppliers can focus on systems that bring together the motor, sensors, and vehicle electronics.
How does Japan perform?
6.0% CAGR, driven by compact packaging and electronics-led vehicle design.
Japan has strong demand for compact parts that fit into limited vehicle space and work with existing electronic systems. In January 2026, the Japan Automobile Importers Association reported about 2.9 million registered vehicles in 2025 [9]. Small power tailgate motors and reliable sensors are well suited to passenger cars.
