Automotive fabrics have experienced tremendous innovations and increased adoption over the last few years. Relative to other solutions, such as vegan and traditional leather, fabrics are lighter and when used in large volumes, showcase considerable weight reduction. Fabrics are preferred over leather owing to their lightness and excellent performance in harsh environmental conditions. Recent innovation toward premium fabrics has helped material to penetrate the premium segment, that was considered to be dominated by leather material. Alcantara is a brand engaged in manufacturing suede microfabrics for premium vehicles. Brands, such as McLaren and Lamborghini, have incorporated this fabric in their several models.
