Globally over the next five years, the automotive seat industry is expected to reach an estimated
US $66.5 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 4%. Growth in the APAC region and the BRIC nations is
anticipated to drive the industry during the forecast period.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the
global automotive seat industry and presents its findings in “Global Automotive Seat Industry
2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”
The automotive seating industry includes cushion and back frames, slide channels, coverings,
pad assemblies, recliner assemblies, and motors. Volatile raw material prices of lead, steel,
urethane, and resin, as well as restrictions on the availability of raw materials, energy, and
product components adversely affected seat suppliers’ financial performance in both 2010 and
2011. Strong domestic demand in the Russian market and more flexible monetary policies,
however, are expected to result in double-digit growth in the BRIC nations in 2012.
Lucintel’s analysis indicates that the APAC region can be expected to experience robust growth
in vehicle demand through 2012 and beyond, mainly driven by China and India. Strong output
recovery in Japan and Thailand is expected as the automotive sector increases efficiency to fulfill
pent-up demand, clear product backlogs, and rebuild inventory in the wake of the natural
disasters that occurred in 2011.
A combination of factors such as currency exchange rate, governmental regulations, fluctuations
in consumer taste and preferences, and safety regulations all impact industry dynamics
significantly.
