Automotive Interiors are Driving Upholstery Growth
When purchasing a car, truck or SUV, an increasingly important feature for buyers is the car’s interior. The automotive upholstery market was estimated to be $4.65 billion in 2017. That market is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 6.6 percent over the next eight years, reaching $7.75 billion by 2025. Much of this growth is related to global vehicle production, particularly demand in the U.S., Germany, U.K., Brazil and China. Cars, trucks and SUVs account for a majority of the automotive upholstery market. Buses and commercial trucks account for a smaller, but important fraction of sales as well.
