The automotive seats market is projected to grow from USD 51.5 billion in 2021 to USD 68.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period. Growing demand for premium vehicles, rising adoption of powered seats in mid-segment cars & SUVs and increasing demand for aftermarket seating solutions are driving the automotive seats market.

Automotive seats manufacturers have invested in research and development opportunities to enhance passenger comfort and bring forward new technology. For example, Adient plc. In September 2021 started integrating Cardyon, a chemical made using Covestro’s CO2-technology, as a sustainable feedstock to produce foam. This supply chain-related sustainability milestone helps to further reduce Adient’s scope 3 emissions as calculated by the Greenhouse Gas protocol. In May 2021, Toyota Boshoku introduced a cabin space that provides multimodal stimulus of the senses during autonomous driving to revitalize its occupants with a short nap and awaken them comfortably. In August 2020, Lear corporation introduced its new solution in intelligent seating, INTU Thermal Comfort with ClimateSense technology, developed in collaboration with Gentherm.
