It is predicted that rising consumer income in emerging markets will drive up market demand. The market is expanding as a result of rising consumer demand for personalised and intelligent seats.

 

Automotive seats are the components of cars and trucks that are made to fit the driver or other passengers riding in or on them comfortably. According to industry standards, they are built to give the necessary comfort while minimising the impact of a crash on the occupants. To meet the needs of both manufacturers and consumers, these seating systems are offered in a variety of configurations, ranging from basic seating systems to complex ones. While conventional and traditional designs have generally been advocated within the industry, luxury modifications have recently been added to seating systems for the benefit of the customers due to the growing need for comfort and style.

 

Automotive seats have a vital influence in the overall impression and appeal of a vehicle since they are a key point of connection between the provider and the buyer. Automotive seats are crucial because they increase driver comfort, which affects driving. To disperse impact energy and lessen the effects of a collision, they are constructed in accordance with requirements for the thorax, knee, and head support inclination angle. Automotive engineers are now devoting more time to developing automotive seat technology since seating has a significant impact on how customers perceive and find a vehicle attractive overall. According to estimates, rising consumer affluence in emerging markets will increase market demand. Customized and intelligent seats are in more demand, which is helping the market expand. The future of climate control and biometric sensing technologies is predicted to change how automobile seats are made in the upcoming years.

 

Driving Factors

The rising demand for hybrid and electric cars in developing countries increases the need for car seats, which in turn fuels the market's expansion. The market is expanding due to reasons including rising automotive industry expansion, expanding technological advancements, car manufacturers concentrating on lightweight seats, rising rider comfort, and more. The global market is also being helped by an increase in vehicle production.

 

To improve their products, automotive makers are conducting more research. The manufacturers' main focus is on smart seats for smart automobiles that improve the comfort that the seat offers. The market is expanding due to the sophisticated improvements produced in car seats. Automotive manufacturers are working on the creation of interior components that are lightweight in emerging markets in order to increase fuel efficiency.

 

Restraining Factors

The market for car seats is being constrained by the high cost of manufacturing these seats. Seats account for around 5% of the overall cost of the car. The few varieties of modular seats that offer more comfort and convenience than standard seats include powered, heated, massaged, vented, and climate-controlled chairs. Due to their high price, these are found in luxury vehicles.

 

Low manufacturing costs are out of balance with the characteristics that enable a customer's heightened comfort perception, which causes an imbalance in the expenses required to reach a high degree of consumer perceived value. This is anticipated to be a significant barrier to the market for automobile seats' expansion. Additionally, innovative and modular seating systems are more expensive than conventional seats, which is predicted to restrain the growth of the global automotive seats market.

 

COVID 19 Impact

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative effect on the automotive seat market. The majority of business sector profits are declining globally. The majority of governments implemented lockdowns in their nations to stop the coronavirus's spread. Due to the ongoing lockdowns, manufacturing sectors are closed, which has an impact on the manufacture and sale of vehicles and lowers demand for automotive seats. The automotive seat market has been directly influenced by the fall in vehicle production.
