Automotive Interior Materials Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Material Type (Plastics, Fabrics, Composites, Leather), Class (Mediocre, Luxury, Economy), Product Type (Ceramic Glass, Coated Glass, Tempered Glass), Application (Seats, Floor Carpets, Upholstery, Air Ducts), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Interior Materials Market is accounted for $60.68 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $90.63 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. The automotive interior materials are the materials used in the interior of the automotive, which offer an alluring look, enhanced consistency to automobiles, and improved sustainability, leading to an improved and upgraded automotive cabin design. Thus, it is essential to make lightweight interior materials to conserve emission levels. The materials can only be used once they meet specific industry standards, such as fire safety standards for interior materials. These materials increase the interior esthetics of the vehicle and influence the buying behaviour of the customer.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increased demand for customization and comfort

The availability of affordable vehicles has grown significantly in the recent years owing to increased traveling among people. The increased technological advancements and demand for customization of automotive interior materials are driving the market. Therefore, companies are offering customizations to create innovative interiors in accordance with the demand of the customer. Furthermore, the increasing health awareness among consumers is encouraging companies to introduce eco-friendly automotive interior materials, which will help enhance comfortable driving.

Restraint:

Improper disposal of effluents from the tanning industry affecting the genuine leather market

Genuine leather is the most costly material presently used as automotive upholstery. Though, its use in urbanized markets is stagnant owing to the adverse effects of leather processing on the environment. The leather processing industry is affected in most of the developed markets due to the strict environmental regulations that have made it difficult for local manufacturers in these regions to remain profitable. Following this, an increase in the import of leather from the African countries (heavy leather) and Asia Pacific (India – light leather) was observed. Though, a high import price, availability of alternatives (synthetic leather), and the changing perception of consumers toward genuine leather has compelled most manufacturers to switch to eco- friendly alternatives.

Opportunity:

Espousal of green technology in automotive leather manufacturing

The tanning process in leather manufacturing is the most polluting stage of leather processing. It includes the use of metals such as chromium, aluminum chlorides, sulfates of potassium and aluminum, and zirconium sulfates. Hence, manufacturers with the help of green chemistry have developed methods for the use of safer chemicals that can be disposed of easily. The wastewater generated contains no hazardous chemicals, as toxic tanning agents are not used during the described process, and hence wastewater treatment plants benefit from proper handling and final disposal of waste.

Threat:

Long production cycle time

In the automotive industry, the conceptualization of an average vehicle begins 5 years prior to its fabrication on the assemblage line. The automotive interior components need to be integrated during the conceptualization phase or 1–2 years later to ensure that the vehicle is equipped with the required features. The advanced automotive interior components are equipped with many safety and security features that make product development a time-consuming process. However, customers expect similar features in a car too, which is exceedingly difficult to provide by an automotive OEM. Therefore, OEMs always face challenges such as coping with the introduction of new navigation systems in the market every year.

The passenger vehicles segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The passenger vehicles segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the increase in the sale of passenger vehicles, growing need for comfortable & safe travel, and increase in consumer willingness to spend on high-quality and long-lasting products. Passenger vehicles consist of all the vehicles which are used for the transportation of passengers. These vehicles can carry one to eight people depending on their type. Personal cars, wagons, hatchbacks, sedans, SUV, MUV, estate cars, vans, pickups, and other personal-use vehicles are considered under this segment. The technologies used in this type of vehicle are frequently changing due to the high demand from consumers for luxurious and convenience features.

The plastics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The plastics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its favorable capabilities, optimum durability, ruggedness, and the vast chemical know-how of the material. Plastic is amongst the most researched materials and has gained mutual adoption in the automotive industry due to its good mechanical properties combined with excellent aesthetical appearance. Due to technological advancements in blended polymers and design and processing techniques, modern plastic interiors look and feel like premium materials. Demand for aesthetically appealing interiors in cars has risen, which will increase demand for plastics in automotive interiors over the forecast period.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the strong automotive industries in countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Thailand, rising sales and adoption of e-vehicles in the region, and fast expansion of middle-class people in emerging economies. For instance, a rising middle class, will continue driving the steady growth of the Chinese auto market, with the demand for new purchases and rapidly growing replacements of vehicles are adding to the overall market of the region's automotive industry.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to the improved innovation, rising e-vehicles market, and growing market for various applications for interior materials in the automotive industry. The European region occupies the next major share and most of the European countries are developed so their major concentration is on the safety of the passengers. So, most of the European countries will target on the appropriate selection of materials which provide safety for the passengers during the times of accidents or crashes.
