MARKET ANALYSIS
Automotive fabrics are the types of fabrics available in the form of woven, nonwoven, and coated. These type of fabric materials is quite flexible and possesses features such as resistance to UV rays and cold cracking along with durability and lightweight in design. Automotive fabrics provide seating comfort as well as promote the overall aesthetic experience. The growth of the market is strongly driven by advancements in technology, along with a preference toward superior comfort and high-quality materials. With the increasing production of automobiles, the demand for automobile accessories has also increased, which is expected to contribute to the growth of the automotive fabric market in the coming years.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The advancement in automotive manufacturing capabilities and rising demand for electric vehicles are a few factors boosting the global automotive industry growth. Automotive is one of the leading industries in Europe as it contributes significantly to the GDPs of European countries, including Germany, Italy, and the UK, among others. The focus on developing automotive interior and exterior aesthetics and properties has increased, owing to consumer emphasis on quality and aesthetics, which drives the demand for automotive fabrics. Governments of various countries imposed stringent safety regulations, including the mandatory installation and use of seat belts, airbags, and anti-lock braking systems to promote in-vehicle safety, which is boosting the demand for high-performing and safe automotive fabric materials. Thus, the increasing vehicle production and rising focus on automotive aesthetics fuels the automotive fabric market growth.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU) are two of the most used synthetic plastic polymers to make synthetic leather. The process of manufacturing synthetic leather made by using plastic is not an eco-friendly method. The production process of plastics used in most synthetic leathers is often a relatively energy-intensive and chemical-filled process that also produces significant waste. Hence, the harmful effects of PVC and PU, coupled with less durability of synthetic leather compared to leather, restrain the automotive fabric market growth.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The global automotive fabric market is divided on the basis of component and material. Based on component, the automotive fabric market is segmented into carpet, headliner, hood liner, insulation, seat covering material, and others. Based on material, the market is segmented into textiles, artificial leather, genuine leather, and artificial suede. Further, the carpet segment accounted for a significant share of the automotive fabric market in 2022. Fabrics for carpets are exclusively designed by a needle-punched, nonwoven, or tufted fabric. Polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, and aramid are preferably used as fiber materials in designing carpets to enhance automotive interiors. Headliners are composed of tricot knit fabric that offers a soft touch and uniform appeal and adds to overall interior styling. A hood liner is composed of a thin layer of insulating material with a proper sound barrier element, which prevents noise arising from the engine due to faulty hood insulation. Acoustic and thermal insulation is considered one of the essential features deployed across various automotive parts such as engine covers, under trays, bonnets, and other such automotive parts. Tri-laminate polyester is used as automotive seat fabric for many types of car seats.
Based on material, the textiles segment accounted for a significant share in 2022. Automotive textiles have several applications in cars, trains, buses, and other vehicles. Automotive textiles comprise different types of textile components, such as yarn fibers, filaments, and other fabrics. Artificial leather, also known as faux leather or synthetic leather, is designed with the help of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PU). Genuine leather is perceived to be an expensive form of fabric material used in the automotive industry for upholstery components. The demand for synthetic suede continues to grow, often used for designing high-end automobile components. With the shift in consumer lifestyle and rising preference toward luxury driving and car-sharing services, the market for artificial suede is thriving globally.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries across the globe reported economic growth. The key manufacturers invested in the research and development of automotive fabric. They also focused on the expansion of geographic reach through merger and acquisition strategies to cater to a wide customer base. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive fabric producers reported steady growth in manufacturing, due to increasing demand from the automotive industry. The automotive fabric manufacturers were more focused on developing eco-friendly, durable, and easy-to-clean fabrics. According to the US International Trade Commission (USITC), owing to the high vulnerability of the automotive industry, vehicle sales in the US decreased by 15% in 2020 compared to 2019. During the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, raw material and labor shortages, and operational difficulties created a demand and supply gap, which adversely affected the automotive fabric market growth. Manufacturers reported challenges in sourcing raw materials and ingredients from suppliers, thereby impacting the production rate of automotive fabric.
Further, production shortfall caused by severe disruptions in supply chains and limited skilled laborers created a demand-supply gap in many regions, particularly Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. The demand and supply gap was also recorded in the aforementioned regions due to fluctuating demand from the automotive industry. In 2021, rising vaccination rates contributed to improvements in the overall conditions in different countries, which led to conducive environments for the chemicals & materials industry. The sales of automotive fabric increased with the resumption of production & sales operations of companies operating in the automotive industry.
