Opportunity: Growing trend of interior customization in premium vehicles and interior styling
One of the key drivers fueling the demand for car interiors is the rising trend of interior personalization or customization by end users based on their needs for comfort, convenience, and aesthetic appeal. Many OEMs are providing their customers with personalized interiors due to the rising demand for luxury category automobiles around the world. For instance, Mercedes-Benz gives consumers the ability to select the inside highlights, accent colors, textiles, lighting, and headliners. Tesla allows customers to customize the interior of their vehicles with a variety of options, including seat materials, color schemes, and trim finishes. Also, BMW offers a variety of interior customization options for its vehicles, including different seat materials, colors, and trim finishes. Customers can also choose from a variety of ambient lighting options and wood trim finishes. Therefore, automobile interior providers may benefit from the trend toward more frequent such upgrades.
OEMs have a chance to develop new features in their offerings to draw in more end users as a result of the rising desire for customized interior styling. OEMs are spending money on adding features like panoramic roofs, fully functional doors, separate customizable climate controls, amazing surround sound quality, LED lighting, plush seating, storage compartments in convenient locations, and digital cockpit modules to the interiors of cars. All of these features come in stylish color-coordinated themes. This trend has highlighted that even entry-level automobile buyers want a machine that is a cut above the rest. The concept of visual aesthetics is not only restricted to luxury class vehicles but also extends to budget automobiles as well. It is important that appealing interiors are available in every class of vehicles, not just luxury models that most consumers will never be able to afford.
