According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the share of passenger car production in the top regions is as below:According to MarketsandMarkets analysis, with the increase in overall vehicle production, the market share of bucket seats accounts for >55% in value in 2023.These bucket seats provide better support and lateral confinement, essential for performance driving.Furthermore, the sales of SUVs, which was around ~27% of total car sales in the year 2019, increased to ~38% in 2022 because the SUVs are more rugged, spacious, and have higher ground clearance suitable for all terrains. With the increase in full-size SUV sales, the demand for bucket seats has also grown in the last few years.The purchasers of new and used cars frequently look for methods to customize their vehicles, which is only possible with bucket seats because they offer various options for colors, materials, and finishes that allow purchasers to select the ideal seats based on their requirements. The Asia Pacific region is expected to lead the bucket seats market, considering it has the largest production and sales contribution to the global car industry.Genuine leather is the fastest growing trim material in the automotive seats market by 2030.Genuine leather is used in car seat upholstery, particularly in higher end luxury models.The increasing demand for luxury vehicles drives the growth of the genuine leather segment in the automotive seat market.According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the key country’s premium car sales (SUV D and SUV E) grew steadily from 12.5 million units in 2019 to 15.1 million units in 2022.
