[128 Pages Report] The global automotive interior materials market is estimated to be USD 46.63 in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% to reach USD 55.41 billion by 2023. The increasing demand is attributed to the growing automotive industry in emerging regions. Players in this market are adopting various organic and inorganic strategies to expand their presence in emerging markets, such as India, China, Thailand, and Brazil.
The automotive interior materials market has been classified based on type into genuine leather, synthetic leather, polymers, and others. Polymers are the most widely used type of automotive interior materials. Demand is increasing for lightweight and durable interior components. These polymers are used for the manufacture of various interior parts, such as dashboards, center consoles, door panels, etc. Due to strict environmental regulations, automotive companies are focusing on the overall weight reduction of vehicles to minimize carbon emissions, thus driving the demand for polymers in the automotive interiors market.
Based on vehicle type, the automotive interior material market has been segmented into passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles (LCV), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCV). Passenger vehicles are expected to be the largest vehicle type incorporating automotive interior materials. Increasing demand for individual vehicles in emerging countries, and growing need for safe and comfortable travel are expected to lead to the high demand for passenger vehicles. The growing demand for passenger vehicles globally is expected to drive the demand for automotive interior materials.
APAC is estimated to be the leading automotive interior materials market. Countries in this region, such as China, India, and Thailand are witnessing significant increase in the automotive manufacturing industry. The automotive industry is driving the demand for automotive interior materials. The market in South America is also expected to witness significant growth due to improving economic conditions. Also, various players are expanding their reach to South America. The markets in Europe and North America are mature and are expected to witness comparatively slower growth.
The introduction of government regulations for vehicle safety, reduction of carbon emission, and lightweight of vehicles is forcing OEMs to provide enhanced safety features in vehicles and use materials that will help in an overall weight reduction of the vehicle. According to EPA, every 100 pounds taken out of the vehicle increases the fuel economy by 12%. This is achieved by making the upholstery flexible and light yet tough to replace with the similar volume of plastic, as plastic components have a higher mass compared to the textile. Thus, replacing plastic with lighter interior materials results in an overall reduction in vehicle weight and at the same time maintaining the safety standards of the vehicle. Hence, manufacturers are encouraged to use automotive interior materials.
Genuine leather is the most expensive material currently used as automotive upholstery. However, its use in developed markets is stagnant due 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 stringent 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 APAC (India light leather) was observed. However, 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.
The volume of effluent and its characteristics are specific to a particular tannery. They may also vary within the same tannery from time to time. The effluent from the beam house processes, such as soaking, liming. and deliming are highly alkaline, containing decomposing organic matter, hair, lime, sulfide, and organic nitrogen with high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD).
The automotive industry is incorporating nanotechnology at various levels to develop components and materials that are lighter and more durable, allowing weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency. Nanomaterials can be used in interior panels for doors and pillars, seat coverings and paddings, parts of the dashboard, cabin roof, boot carpets, headliner, safety belts, airbags, air filtration, tire cords, and trimmings. Traditional fabrics are at a disadvantage in terms of properties such as protection from dust and dirt, ventilation, durability, wear and tear, and fire resistance. Nanomaterials have the potential to offer cost-effective solutions to these shortcomings.
Textiles with antimicrobial or antibacterial properties are expected to witness high demand in the automotive industry, as they can improve hygiene within the car interior and contribute to eliminating unpleasant odors. The nanotechnology-based passive approach uses silver (Ag) nanoparticles that are effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria when added to the surface of the textile. Hence, this is considered to provide an opportunity for the growth of automotive interior materials.
Automotive upholstery and textile manufacturers operate within the purview of regulations. Compliance with these regulations is necessary at every level of the supply chain. It was observed that most of these regulations target product safety standards, manufacturing parameters, and disposal methods. In order to achieve profitability, manufacturers have to find the best balance between the regulatory framework and manufacturing costs.
For instance, in Europe, an automotive textile manufacturer will have to adhere to product safety regulations, flammability, toxicity, and recyclability regulations. During the manufacturing process, the effluent discharge and pollution regulations have to be adhered to as well. A part of the energy consumed during the manufacturing process needs to be generated from the renewable source, preferable wind or solar. As far as raw material procurement is concerned, these need to conform to country-specific regulations. In case the product is imported, import regulations would also apply. For instance, the manufacturing of the raw material must not involve child labor, and the consumer which in this case would be the manufacturer must give preference to domestic manufacturers of raw materials over subsidized imports from the exporting country. The regulations are relatively less stringent and less strictly adhered to in APAC. As adhering to regulations increases operating costs while a weaker regulatory framework implies a lower operating cost. However, this outlook is fast changing in China. As APAC countries strengthen their regulations, the operating cost advantage will diminish and eventually will be replaced by the dynamics of manufacturing efficiency.
