New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2015 -- The increasing automobile production and changing customer preferences in the interiors of their vehicles have been driving the automotive interior materials market. The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been focusing largely on reducing the vehicle weight to increase their fuel efficiency which has been increasing their investment on the interior materials. Lighter vehicles consume less energy to accelerate as compared to their heavier counterparts. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can increase the fuel efficiency by 6%-8%. The unstable global crude oil prices are compelling the manufacturers to develop low weight vehicles which have been creating demands for automotive interior materials market. Moreover, with the reduction in weight, the vehicles can carry additional advanced emission control systems, safety devices and integrated electronic systems without increasing its overall weight. Additionally, increasing interest of American and European user towards smart fabrics has been further adding up to benefit the automotive interior materials market.
