Automobile and Parts
150000 Automotive Seats/year Project of Changchun City
1. Introduction to the Project
1.1 Project background
1.1.1 Product introduction
As a key component of automotive interiors, the market demand for automotive seats is closely linked to the production of automobiles. With the rapid development of the domestic automotive market and the improvement of consumers' requirements for automotive comfort and safety, the market for high-quality and personalized customized automotive seats has broad prospects. The rise of the new energy vehicle market, especially the expansion of the high-end electric vehicle product lines, has also significantly driven the growth of demand for automotive seats.
At present, the automotive seat market is undergoing a stage of rapid development. As consumers continue to pursue driving and riding comfort, automotive seats, as the core components that affect the driving experience, are becoming more and more significant. Market development trend shows that consumers' demand for personalization, intelligence, and environmental friendliness is on the rise. They expect seats to not only provide basic functions, but also be customized according to personal body shape and habits to meet comfort and health needs.
1.1.2 Market prospect
(1) Current situation of automotive seat market
Automotive seats can be divided into two categories based on their types: passenger car seats and commercial vehicle seats. Commercial vehicle seats mainly cover heavy-duty trucks and engineering machinery seats. Because their working environment is usually harsh, accompanied by low-frequency and large vibrations, these types of seats are usually equipped with pneumatic shock absorption systems; the passenger car seats face relatively good road conditions, and the seats and the body are mostly rigidly connected, paying more attention to comfort and safety.
The construction of passenger car seats is mainly composed of metal parts and exterior decorative materials. The metal parts include frames, slide rails, angle adjusters, etc., while the exterior decorative materials include foam materials and covers. In addition, the core components of the seat include motors, headrests and armrests. Especially the core components of passenger car seats, such as frames, angle adjusters, and slide rails, play a vital role in the safety of seats.
In the passenger car seat industry, the market pattern is relatively concentrated, and foreign brands occupy a dominant position. In China's automotive seat market, HASCO, Lear, Adient and their joint ventures account for about 60% of the market share. Some globally renowned automotive seat manufacturers, such as Magna, Toyota Boshoku, Faurecia, etc., have set up wholly-owned or joint ventures in China, forming a monopolistic competitive market pattern with HASCO, Lear, Adient and other enterprises. With the rapid development of China's automotive industry in recent years, the automotive seat market will continue to face a large amount of demand in the near future. With the rise of state-owned independent brand vehicle manufacturers, China's automotive seat industry is expected to further realize domestic substitution, and may face development trends such as price reduction competition.
At present, the global automotive seat market is continuously expanding, especially in the major automotive production regions such as Asia, North America and Europe, where the market size continues to grow. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the new energy vehicle market, the demand for new seats such as power seats and smart seats is also rising, which further promotes the growth and development of the automotive seat market.
(2) Market demand forecast for automotive seats
The market demand for automotive seat systems is growing steadily. Consumers' demand for riding comfort, safety and personalization continues to increase, and the booming development of the new energy vehicle market has also brought new growth opportunities to the seat system market.
Intelligence: with the advancement of technology, more and more intelligent technologies are integrated into automotive seats, such as intelligent adjustment, memory function, heating/ventilation function, etc. These smart seats not only enhance driving and riding comfort, but also improve the safety performance of the vehicle.
Environmental protection: with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more automotive seats are made of renewable or recyclable materials to reduce their impact on the environment. In addition, some automotive seats adopt lightweight design aimed at reducing the vehicle's energy consumption and emissions.
Electrification: the demand for power seats is gradually increasing, especially in mid- to high-end models. The power seats can be adjusted according to the personal needs of drivers and passengers, providing a more convenient and comfortable riding experience.
Customization: with the increasing demand for personalization from consumers, more and more automobile makers are beginning to offer seat customization services. Consumers can choose the material, color, and function of the seat according to their personal preferences and needs to meet their personalized needs.
At present, the automotive seat market is showing a trend of continuous expansion and increasingly fierce competition. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous change of consumer demand, the automotive seat market is expected to develop in the direction of intelligence, environmental protection, electrification and customization. Enterprises shall seize market opportunities, continuously innovate and improve product quality to meet consumer demand. At the same time, enterprises shall also pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development to achieve long-term stable development.
It was estimated that the domestic passenger car seat market reached 92.5 billion yuan in 2022. With the growth of passenger car sales, China's passenger car seat market grew to 96.3 billion yuan in 2023. It is estimated that by 2025, the global automotive seat market will reach 466.9 billion yuan, of which the passenger car seat market is expected to reach 402.7 billion yuan, and the commercial vehicle seat market is expected to reach 64.2 billion yuan. With the rapid development of the passenger car industry, the size of China's passenger car seat market is also gradually expanding.
