Key Market TrendsDecreasing Passenger Vehicle Sales May Hinder the Growth of The Market

Passenger cars account for the largest market share in the automotive carpeting market. Over the last few years, production and sales of passenger cars have seen a decline. The sales of passenger vehicles in 2017 were 70.6 million units which were decreased to 68.6 million units in 2018. The sales of passenger vehicles were further decreased to 64.3 million units in 2019. Global events like tariff war between China and the United States of America is further affecting the sales of passenger vehicles.

The government around the globe to curb the growing pollution is making strict emission standards which is negatively affecting the sales of passenger vehicles. For instance, in India, in order to curb the increasing pollution, the government has made it mandatory for passenger vehicles to be BS-VI compliant by April 2020.

The sales of the passenger vehicle are further going to decrease due to the Corona outbreak in China as the outbreak has disrupted China’s auto Supply Chain and is negatively affecting the sales of passenger vehicles as consumers are unable to buy vehicles since they are forced to stay at home.

Asia-Pacific Is Expected to Be Automotive Carpeting Market Leader

The global automotive carpeting market is dominated by the Asia-Pacific region. As more than 50% of the vehicle is manufactured in the Asia-Pacific region, the region accounts for the largest share, in terms of demand for automotive carpeting across the globe. Additionally, with rapid urbanization in countries such as India, China, ASEAN Countries, the demand for and sales of a passenger vehicle has been continually increasing, in turn boosting the demand for carpeting in the automotive industry.

Apart from passenger cars, with growing environmental concerns among both the consumers and governments in the region, the adoption of electric vehicles has increased significantly, especially in China, which is also expected to drive the market for carpeting. However, the growth of the Chinese market in 2019 has been sluggish owing to changes in the regulatory policy the production is expected to bounce back as automakers absorb these changes with price adjustments.

Electric vehicle manufacturer across the globe are entering the Chinese market to capitalize on increasing demand for electric vehicles by establishing major manufacturing units, for instance, in December 2018, Tesla started construction of its manufacturing facility in Shanghai province of China, the construction was completed on August 2019, and the production of Tesla Model 3 cars started on October 2019. According to the company the manufacturing facility has a capacity of 250,000 electric cars per year.

The afore-mentioned factors are expected to drive the Automotive Carpeting Market over the forecast period.
