Automotive Interior Materials Market Size

Automotive Interior Materials Market Size

Automotive Interior Materials Market size valued at USD 27.13 billion in 2019 and is estimated to exhibit over 5% CAGR from 2020 to 2026. Growing emphasis on overall weight reduction of vehicles to optimize fuel efficiency will be a major factor augmenting the automotive interior materials demand. Lightness, superior stiffness, and strength offered by composites and modern plastics have led to their emergence as viable interior solutions.

Lighweighting is a key strategy to improve the overall fuel efficiency of a vehicle. A reduction of 10% in vehicle weight will result in around 6% - 8% improvement in the efficiency of passenger cars and 10% in battery electric vehicles.

Composites and modern plastics have a strong potential in the development of energy-efficient vehicles. Major automotive manufacturers are focusing on reducing carbon emissions with the implementation of lightweight plastics and composites in vehicle instrument panels, dashboards, and flooring components.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused a supply chain disruption across the automotive sector. International trade has been temporarily suspended by several countries across the globe, substantially impacting the automotive interior materials market demand. Furthermore, governments in most countries have imposed restrictions on citizen mobility and a temporary shutdown of production facilities in major industries as preventive measures.
