The innovation and development of the automotive tailgate industry supports the efficient upgrade of logistics.

In recent years, with the booming development of the logistics industry and higher demands for loading and unloading efficiency, the automotive tailgate, as an important logistics loading and unloading equipment, has seen a continuous increase in market demand, and the industry has also welcomed new development opportunities and challenges.

In terms of technological innovation, various companies have increased their R&D investment and achieved significant results. Jiangxi Changyouli Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. applied for a patent for "a bending device for automotive tailgates" in May 2024, which was authorized in January 2025. This device, through a unique structural design, enables convenient disassembly and maintenance of the hydraulic telescopic column, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and meeting the industry's actual demand for high maintainability of equipment. In addition, Ningbo Pavalais Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. also obtained a patent for "a non-slip mechanism for automotive tailgates" in January 2025. By setting up a hinged baffle and a bypass groove at the end of the tailgate, it can effectively prevent cargo from sliding or rolling when carrying heavy objects, greatly enhancing the safety and stability of cargo transportation. At the same time, when the non-slip function is not needed, the baffle can be flipped and hidden, without affecting the normal loading and unloading of goods.

From the perspective of market development, the domestic automotive tailgate market is currently highly competitive, with well-known domestic brands such as Niuli, Kaizhuoli, and Haigelisi, as well as foreign brands participating. Domestic companies are continuously improving in terms of technology level, product quality, and after-sales service, gradually narrowing the gap with foreign brands. With the advancement of urbanization, the improvement of rural logistics systems, and the rise of cold chain logistics, it is expected that the market size of automotive tailgates will further expand in the coming years. At the same time, the Asia-Pacific region has become the fastest-growing region in the global automotive tailgate market, with the Chinese market performing particularly well. As the world's largest automotive tailgate producer, China occupies a significant market share.

In terms of development trends, the automotive tailgate industry is moving towards intelligence, lightweight, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly directions. With the continuous advancement of intelligent technologies, such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, these will gradually be applied in the production and use of automotive tailgates, achieving functions such as remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and intelligent scheduling of tailgates, improving production efficiency and reducing costs. At the same time, in order to comply with environmental regulations and reduce vehicle energy consumption, lightweight technology is also receiving much attention, using new materials and processes to reduce the weight of tailgates while ensuring strength and performance, thereby improving vehicle fuel economy and transportation efficiency.

The automotive tailgate industry is showing a positive trend in terms of technological innovation, market competition, and development trends, and will provide more efficient, safe, and reliable cargo loading and unloading solutions for the logistics transportation industry in the future, contributing to the high-quality development of the logistics industry.
