Automotive Fabrics Market Trends | Segmentation, Outlook, Industry Report 2032
According to Future Market Insights’ (FMI) latest analysis
report, the global automotive
fabrics market is projected to register an impressive 6% CAGR
throughout the forecast period, 2017 to 2022. The global market for automotive
fabrics is estimated to reach roughly US$ 250 Mn in revenues by 2022-end.
Demand for safety measures in vehicles have surged
significantly over the past few years. Various advancements have been made in
the design of airbags, seats, and belts of automobiles, along with improvements
in their weight and aesthetic appearance. Automotive fabric play an imperative
role in these advancements and improvements, and have gained significant
traction across the globe. Leading manufacturers in the market are shifting
their focus toward utilisation of light-weight composite materials with properties
such as light-weight, advanced adhesive technology, and low moisture content.
Composite materials require lesser non-renewable sources for their production,
and help in lowering greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum consumption.
Expanding sales of automobiles, increasing purchasing power
of people in developed and developing economies, along with rapid urbanisation
will further influence growth of the market in the near future. A major
hindrance for the market expansion is increasing existence of alternative
products such as natural leather, PVC and synthetic leather.
Key Takeaways from FMI’s Report on Global Automotive
Fabric Market
- Europe
is anticipated to remain the most lucrative market for automotive fabric,
with sales estimated to reach nearly US$ 70 Mn by 2022-end. Dominance of
Europe in the market can be attributed to advanced technological
developments, higher presence of leading market players, increasing launch
of novel products, and development of research centres.

fabric market has huge potential for expansion in Middle East & Africa
(MEA) and Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) on the back of huge
population base, soaring demand for passenger cars owing to increasing
disposable incomes, and robust rate of urbanisation. The markets in Japan
and Latin America are projected to register the highest CAGR through 2022.
- On
the basis of applications, airbags and floor covering will continue to
account for largest revenue shares of the global automotive fabric market
during 2017 to 2022. Floor covering is expected to remain the dominant
application of automotive fabric, closely followed by airbags. These
applications of automotive fabric will register the lowest CAGRs through
2022. In addition, applications of automotive fabric in car roof, tires,
and safety belts will register the highest CAGRs through 2022.
- Woven
fabric is expected to remain sought-after among products in the market,
with sales projected to account for nearly three-fourth revenue share of
the market in 2017. However, woven fabric will witness a decline in its
market share by 2022-end. Knitted fabric is projected to remain the

for automotive fabric throughout the forecast period. Revenues from
automotive fabric sales in OEM will account for approximately four-fifth
share of the market in 2017, and will further experience a slight decline
in its market share by 2022-end. Aftermarket will register a relatively
faster expansion than OEM in the global automotive fabric market through
2022.
- Based
on vehicle type, compact passenger cars will account for largest share of
the global automotive fabric market, in terms of revenues in 2017. By
2022, revenues from sales of automotive fabric in compact passenger cars
will gain an uptick in their market share. Light commercial vehicles and
mid-sized passenger cars are also expected to remain lucrative among
vehicles in the market. Luxury passenger cars are expected to account for
relatively lower revenues in the market, however automotive fabric sales
