Automotive Upholstery Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Automobile Production to Favor the Market

• Global population growth and increasing disposable income are driving up demand for automobiles, which is prompting major manufacturers to increase automobile production.
• To ensure a successful and comprehensive interior design process, the production of new vehicles necessitates the use of appropriate automotive upholstery materials. Therefore, the market for automotive upholstery is growing proportionately due to the increasing demand for vehicles around the world, which is being driven by growth in GDP and the economies of several regions that have raised people's disposable incomes.
• Whereas EVs are more environmentally friendly and sustainable than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, governments around the world are adopting EVs at a rapid pace, which is fueling the growth of the automotive upholstery market.
• Special automotive upholstery components designed to meet the unique needs of EVs and AVs are expected to drive this growth.

Development of Sustainable and Eco-friendly Coverings 

• Urbanization, rising disposable income in developing markets, and technological advancements and performance are driving a significant shift in the automotive industry's growth.
• The creation of environmentally friendly and sustainable automobile coverings provides an opportunity for the market to expand its revenue. As compared to traditionally used fibers, plant-based woven textiles offer many more advantages, as demonstrated by advancements in automotive coating materials.
• The market's revenue growth is anticipated to rise due to advancements in lighter materials that require significantly less stitching.
• Moreover, lighter covering materials will result in higher fuel efficiency. The need for the product would rise even more if materials that are warmer in the winter and colder in the summer were produced because of the drastic temperature swings.
• Additionally, preparing seat coverings made of stretchy material will allow them to improve comfort.
• Furthermore, the growing demand for ventilated and smart seats in high-end vehicles is also boosting the demand for automotive upholstery.
