The automotive interior leather has now become an integral part of the automotive industry. It is used in the interior of a vehicle to enhance the appearance of the vehicle. The driver and passenger can experience the texture of the leather during their time inside the vehicle. It is widely used to enhance the aesthetics of a vehicle. Leather is widely used in brake handles, armrests, shift knobs & boots, consoles, infotainment center, instrument panels, steering, and interior trim applications. Apart from this, it is used to withstand several types of fatigue such as scratches and wear & tear. The leather used in the automotive interior is completely different from furniture leather because low-fat alcohol is used in the production of automotive interior leather, to make it more resistant to bagging and stretching. Moreover, it provides adequate protection from the sun’s UV rays.

The increasing demand for lightweight, durable, and high-quality automotive interior leather, especially for seats (synthetic leather), is expected to drive the market growth. Thus, car makers are using synthetic leathers for some interior parts such as door panels and steering wheels, to meet the rising consumer demand. Moreover, increasing consumer preference towards comfort and styling coupled with the safety is expected to have a significant impact on the automotive interior leather market growth. For instance, in 2018, Adient opened a fabric plant in Morocco to manufacture high-quality materials for automotive seating and other interior applications.
