Posted by Yogini Kale on August 27th, 2019

The global automotive fabric market is expected to reach USD 31.3 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Increased adoption of regulations governing fuel emissions in different countries is likely to stimulate market demand. Growing automotive industry mainly in Europe and Asia Pacific is also a key factor influencing market growth.  

Increasing government focus to reduce car weights and thereby the fuel emissions is anticipated to create growth opportunities for the market. Thermoplastic materials have witnessed a significant adoption globally as they help in reducing the weight of the vehicle by almost 10 percent. Additionally, fuel emission target in various regions such as North America and Europe have led to an increase in the adoption of automotive fabrics. The EU’s 2020 target for fleet average CO2 emissions is 95g/km. The region aims at reducing CO2emissions by 40 percent.

Asia Pacific is expected to be a key revenue generating region in the forecast period. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% in the forecast period. The region has witnessed a significant increase in the number of cars and commercial vehicles. While the number of vehicles in 2017 has increased by 3.19% in China, India has experienced a 5.83%. Similarly, the fleet size has increased by 5.31% in Japan and by 3.3% in Indonesia. Increase in availability of products is also projected to affect market demand.
