Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Raising demand for eco-friendly materials

The primary factor of developments in automotive textiles is rising customer awareness of recycling and environmentally friendly goods. Polyester is becoming more widely used since it is one of the most affordable textiles and a recyclable substance. Utilizing as many resources as possible while minimizing environmental impact is the goal of the production of nonwoven vehicle carpets made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate. As a result, the demand for nonwoven fabrics is anticipated to rise, propelling the automotive textile market's revenue growth throughout the forecast period.

Restraint:

Inadequate moisture absorption

In automobiles, materials like carpets, seats, and insulation are prone to accumulating moisture over time, which can result in the formation of mold and mildew, unpleasant scents, and even health problems. Synthetic fibers, polymers, and leather are a few materials utilized in automobile interiors that are hydrophobic. This can cause moisture to build up and start growing mold in places like carpet padding. Therefore, the market demand is being hampered by the inadequate moisture absorption factor.

Opportunity:

Change in lifestyle patterns

The customer's improved way of life promotes a rise in demand for personal automobiles. The interior of cars is primarily wherein automotive textiles are used. The engineering issues such as tire reinforcement, air or gas filtration, and others are addressed by automotive textiles. The worldwide automotive textile industry is trending because of improvements in vehicle models and the desire for comfort and elegance. Consequently, the market expansion is being fuelled by evolving lifestyles and rising trends.

Threat:

Rise in raw material costs

In automobiles, materials like carpets, seats, and insulation are prone to accumulating moisture over time, which can result in the formation of mold and mildew, unpleasant scents, and even health problems. Synthetic fibers, polymers, and leather are a few materials utilized in automobile interiors that are hydrophobic. This can cause moisture to build up and start growing mold in places like carpet padding. Therefore, the market demand is being hampered by the inadequate moisture absorption factor.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the automotive industry, causing a sharp decline in vehicle sales as well as a shortage of raw materials. The loss of car manufacturing globally has also had an impact on the market for automotive fabrics. The manufacture of PPE kits and face masks and protective shields is one of the new businesses that manufacturers have created. The necessity for automotive textile products resulted from the frequent suspension of public transit networks, the virus's high level of contagiousness, and the need for passenger cars.

The non-woven segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The non-woven segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Non-woven textile is the best material for noise absorption. They are frequently utilized in vehicle liners, seat trims, floor mats, and cabin air filters. Non-woven automobile carpets, which support sustainability and resource efficiency while reducing environmental pollution, are made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate. The segment's growth is being sped up by its superior strength, acoustic insulation, flame resistance, and abrasion resistance.

The upholstery segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The upholstery segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its protection and durability. Upholstery Textiles are tightly woven to create a powerful layer of protection. They are available in various textures, patterns and colours. They are easy to fix and increases the visual appearance of the automotive’s interior. Its great range of options, stylish look, comfort and easy cleaning aspects are propelling the growth of the segment.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the raising population and urbanization. Due to its growing urbanization and population, Asia Pacific is expected to have the biggest market share over the projection period. The usage of safety belts and airbags in vehicles is subject to stricter standards and regulations in the region. Furthermore, the automobile industry is most promising in developing nations like Japan, China, and India. As a result, the expansion of the automotive textile market is fuelled by the rise in vehicle demand in the automotive industry. The demand for automobiles is additionally supported by rising consumer disposable income and increased sales of passenger cars across the world.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to its strict government vehicular regulations. Automotive exports and local demand are both booming in this region. The demand for automotive textiles in the region is bolstered by the region's robust economy and technical advancements in the automobile industry. The market expansion in the North American region is being propelled by the expanding industrialization and increasing preference for passenger cars in emerging nations like the US and Canada.
