Industry Overview
The Global Automotive Fabric Market was worth USD 33.45 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 40.15 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.9 percent by 2030.
Automotive fabrics are a special type of textiles that are woven, non-woven, knitted, coated, or composite materials and are soft, flexible, elastic, lightweight, and durable. Thus, providing an aesthetic look to the interior of the vehicle. They are also extremely strong and resistant to water, fire, and UV rays. Automotive fabrics are employed in the vehicle's acoustics to reduce noise and protect the inside from the outside environment. The four types of automotive materials most commonly used in vehicles are leather, vinyl, nylon, and polyester. Automobile industry innovations include the availability of automotive fabric in a variety of colors and textures for floor coverings, pre-assembled interior components (PRIC), and upholstery, all of which are expected to improve vehicle safety and efficiency. Furthermore, the Bharat National Car Assessment Programme (NCAP), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and other safety agencies grade vehicles based on the safety features they contain. Such activities raise awareness of safety features, which is projected to promote the automotive fabric market's growth.
The COVID-19 epidemic had a huge influence on the automotive industry, resulting in a considerable drop in vehicle sales, a scarcity of raw materials, and other issues. Furthermore, the loss of car production around the world has had an impact on the automotive fabric market. Manufacturers have begun to diversify their businesses by producing PPE kits, face masks, and protection shields.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Fabric Type
Based on fabric type, the global automotive fabric market is segregated into polyester, vinyl, leather, nylon, and others. Vinyl fabric type is growing at a faster pace and is an ideal alternative to the fabric as it is available in various textures and colors. While leather was once popular as an upholstery material, its weight, environmental impact, and link to animal cruelty have prompted automotive makers and consumers to look for alternatives. As a result, low-weight materials have become more popular in the market, as they are more cost-effective and have a more stunning appearance. Materials, particularly fabrics that make vehicle interiors safer, differ significantly from regular fabrics, and as a result, velour and vinyl have a substantial market share.
Insight by Vehicle Type
The global automotive fabric market is divided into four categories based on vehicle type: passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, and buses and coaches. The passenger cars are divided into compact passenger cars, mid-sized passenger cars, premium passenger cars, and luxury passenger cars. Passenger cars are anticipated to contribute to the largest share in the automotive fabrics market owing to increased adoption in several applications as it offer high strength and elongation capability and are resistant to fire, water, and UV. Furthermore, the rising disposable income and increased sales post-COVID-19 pandemic as people will prefer to travel via private vehicles instead of public transport, thereby accelerating the growth of the segment.
Insight by Application
Based on application, the global automotive fabric market is segmented into pre-assembled interior components (PRIC), belts and hoses, car roofs, floor covering, upholstery, tires, spray adhesives, airbags, safety belts, and others. Floor covering contributes to the largest share owing to the increased adoption of carpets to improve the interior appearance and noise and vibration absorbing qualities of carpets along with light and cost-efficiency will expand the floor coverings application segment in the automotive fabric market. Airbags are projected to be the fastest-growing segment owing to the rising demand for safety devices in automobile applications. Furthermore, the mandatory safety features of adopting airbags in automobiles will further propel the growth of the global automotive fabrics market.
