The Global Passenger Car Seat Market size is expected to reach $47.3 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 1.8% CAGR during the forecast period.
Powered, heated, and ventilated seats are highly desirable in SUVs and passenger vehicles, providing occupants with customized comfort, temperature regulation, and an enhanced driving experience. Hence, Powered, heated, and ventilated seats captured $2,635.9 million revenue of the market in 2022. Variations in regional climate affect the demand for heated and ventilated seating. In harsher climates, heated seats are highly desirable because they provide warmth during the frigid winter months. Ventilated seats provide respite from high temperatures in warmer climates, augmenting occupant convenience. The widespread availability of these characteristics in passenger vehicles caters to the distinct requirements of consumers in various regions. In addition, the cost and accessibility of the vehicle increase as a result of these features, whereas manufacturers typically offer powered seats only on mid-segment and luxury vehicles. Some of the factors impacting the market are increasing prevalence of mechanized seating in midsize vehicles and SUVs, increasing emphasis on autonomous vehicles and preference for ridesharing, and expensive advanced modular chairs.
SUVs are available with a variety of passenger configurations. For instance, full-size SUVs typically feature a 60/40 split-bench/bucket seat in the third row and bucket seats in the first and second rows. Compact SUVs come standard with first-row bucket seats, while second-row bench or bucket seats (that may or may not be divided) are options. The seating of a full-size SUV may be heated, chilled, and fueled by technology. Seats may also be made of leather. The demand for powered and ventilated/heated seating is increasing with the worldwide demand for SUVs. In order to develop and introduce a wholly automated driving experience, the automotive sector is focusing more on creating advanced driver assistance systems. Consequently, OEM and consumer preferences will compel seat manufacturers to devise or acquire innovative, aesthetically pleasing products that incorporate emerging technologies. This emphasis on autonomous vehicles and rising demand for ridesharing will contribute to the market's growth soon.
However, adjustable seats are more comfortable and convenient than standard chairs as they are motorized, ventilated, heated, massaged, and climate controlled. Due to their exorbitant cost, however, only luxury vehicles may use them. In developed nations, memory seats are standard on the top-tier variants of most midsize and luxury passenger automobiles. Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi A8, and BMW automobiles offer driver seating with memory. The market's primary snare is the economic sector, particularly in developing nations. Consequently, this market may suffer.
The market research report covers the analysis of key stakeholders of the market. Key companies profiled in the report include Adient plc, Faurecia (Groupe PSA), Lear Corporation, Aisin Corporation (Toyota Motor Corporation), Magna International, Inc., TS TECH Co., Ltd., Johnson Controls International PLC, NHK Spring Co., Ltd, TACHI-S CO., LTD., Gentherm Incorporated
