Automotive Nonwoven Fabrics Market Size
Automotive Nonwoven Fabrics Market size was valued at over USD 51.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% between 2023 and 2032. Nonwoven fabrics provide lightweight & flexible solutions for automotive applications. In the automotive industry, the focus on lightweight vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions is driving the demand for automotive nonwoven fabrics. Nonwoven fabrics are used in applications, such as interior trim, upholstery, and insulation, as replacements for bulkier traditional materials including textiles or foams. They provide comfort and improve the overall aesthetics of automotive interiors. The desire to create fancy, stylish, and impressive interiors is fueling the demand for such fabrics. These factors are anticipated to augment market expansion in the future.
Nonwoven fabrics have superior sound absorption and vibration-damping properties, which makes them suitable for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) reduction in vehicles. As automotive manufacturers aim to enhance passenger comfort and lower the noise inside vehicle cabins, nonwoven fabric demand in NVH applications will increase. These fabrics can be utilized in areas such as carpets, headliners, door panels, and trunk liners.
