The rise in improved passenger car sales due to financing flexibility is notably driving the automotive interior materials market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive interior materials industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Interior Materials Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the automotive interior materials market growth is the rise in improved passenger car sales due to financing flexibility. Car loans are an integral component of the automotive industry and form the biggest driving factor for car sales. This subsequently leads to an increase in automotive glove box sales. General Motors was the first company in the automotive industry to establish a non-banking institution that would support potential buyers to buy cars and indirectly assist OEMs in improving their car sales. In Europe, OEMs such as Fiat and Renault were offering discounts on new car sales to expand their customer base. This strategy worked well for the automakers. For the first time since the global recession period, new car sales registered growth and marked the beginning of passenger car sales in Europe. Auto industry observers found car loans as the biggest driving factor for the expansion of the compact car segments globally. With the increase in passenger car sales, the market for automotive interior materials is expected to witness steady growth.
Key Automotive Interior Materials Market Trend
Innovations in lightweight materials is the major trend influencing automotive interior materials market growth. The consumer demand for automobiles with improved fuel efficiency has considerably increased over the years, primarily due to the rise in fuel prices. Automobile manufacturers are exploring solutions that can reduce the weight of automobiles to enhance fuel efficiency. The demand for fuel efficiency in vehicles has contributed to the popularity of lighter automobiles. Vendors are introducing innovative and lightweight materials for the interior and exterior parts of vehicles. Huntsman is focusing on the development and introduction of dense PU elastomers with barium sulfate mineral fillers that are lightweight and can contribute to NVH insulation. Another breakthrough in this industry is the development of seats that are thinner and much more comfortable. These seats have achieved a drastic reduction in weight by using composites materials and plastic polymers instead of the currently used metal side plates. Such a reduction in seat weight has resulted in more floor space and overall weight reduction of the vehicle. The use of nanotechnology to develop such thinner and lighter materials is another ongoing trend in this segment. In addition, acrylic powder is increasingly being used in automotive interior materials to enhance durability and provide a sleek, modern finish to vehicle components.
Key Automotive Interior Materials Market Challenge
Fluctuations in raw material prices is one of the key challenges hindering the automotive interior materials market growth. The manufacturing of PU foams and polyethylene foams requires raw materials, such as benzene, toluene, and other chemicals, from the oil and gas industry. Elastomers and other polymer plastics, such as PP, are used in vehicles as they are crude-oil-based materials. The oil and gas industry is one of the principal suppliers of raw materials for the global polymer market and is affected by the price fluctuations of crude oil. Crude oil prices in the market are currently highly volatile, which leads to unstable feedstock prices for polymers that are used in the production of automotive interiors. These unstable prices alter the total cost of the product, and this affects the revenue of vendors. Manufacturers in several regions are also dependent on raw materials that are imported from other countries, exposing them to international market risks such as the increase in prices and uncertainty about the timely supply of raw materials.
This automotive interior materials market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
