Automotive flooring market value from the polypropylene material segment accounted for USD 615 million in 2022. This growth is attributed to its implementation in cargo areas and load floors of vehicles. Considering major attributes such as high thermal stability and resistance to oil spills, this material is also used commonly for the production of non-woven carpets in vehicle interiors. Furthermore, its superior vibration absorption and noise insulation benefits will proliferate the development of automotive flooring products made of polypropylene.
The carpet product segment is slated to witness nearly 2% growth rate through 2032. The rising emphasis on enhancing the visual appearance of vehicle interior spaces is one of the key growth drivers. Automotive carpets can serve as sound insulators for noise reduction and provide excellent protection to the floor of the vehicle. To limit allergen levels in vehicle cabins, consumers are also leaning more toward the installation of new carpets, thereby boosting product consumption.
