Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating
M2 - Fri Mar 21, 10:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ld6gsg/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating" report to their offering. Earlier, automotive seats were heavy, space-consuming objects in vehicles with little added value and comfort. The traditional seating systems were in demand due to the vehicle condition and taste preferences of the consumers. However, in recent years, customers purchasing vehicles are more concerned about the weight of the seats and the space that they occupy in the total available vehicle space. This is mainly because the total weight of the vehicle is an important factor that determines the overall performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the high demand for compact automobiles in developing countries due to their cost advantage has increased the demand for thinner and lighter seats that occupy less space in the vehicle. Hence, the demand for thinner seats with a high strength-to-weight ratio is a recent trend being witnessed in the market. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased emphasis on driver and passenger comfort. OEMs are increasingly focusing on driver and passenger comfort, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the market. Moreover, the increasing number of accidents has created awareness among people of the need to improve driver comfort and thereby reduce distractions while driving. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the highly volatile prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of automotive seats. The prices of raw materials such as leather and polyester, which are used in automotive seats, are constantly fluctuating due to various microeconomic factors, thereby presenting a challenge for OEMs. Key vendors dominating this market space are: - Johnson Controls INC. - Lear Corp. - Faurecia EO - Toyota Boshoku Corp. Other Companies Featured: - Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. - Amerigon - Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.KG - Dura Automotive Systems LLC - Grammer AG - Grupo - Antolin Irausa S.A. - Kongsberg Automotive - Magna International Inc. - Martinrea International Inc. - NHK Spring Co.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/s8v7rh/metal_stamping) has announced the addition of the "Metal Stamping Industry in the US 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Metal Stamping industry in the US to grow at a CAGR of 7.91 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this growth is the growing demand from the Automotive industry. The Metal Stamping industry in the US has also been witnessing the steady replacement of ferrous castings with non-ferrous materials. However, the high cost of raw materials could pose a challenge to the growth of this industry. The key vendors dominating this industry space include Fiat S.p.A, Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co., Harvey Vogel Manufacturing Co., Magna International Inc., Martinrea International Inc. and Toyota Motor Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are BMW AG, Chrysler Group LLC, Micro Stamping Corp., SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers GmbH and Co KG, Shiloh Industries Inc., The Boeing Co., Volkswagen AG, Whirlpool Corp., and Tower International Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Engineering team said: With the need to improve product quality and reduce the overall weight of products, companies across industries including Automotive and Heavy Industries have started to develop lightweight products. For instance, the automotive companies use non-ferrous metal components to reduce vehicle weight in order to improve the fuel economy standards with superior quality. Aluminum-stamped products are lightweight and non-brittle to sudden temperature changes, as compared to iron casting products. Also, the usage rate of gray iron in the Automotive industry is steadily declining. Thus, ferrous materials for auto components are being steadily replaced by non-ferrous products such as aluminum, zinc, and magnesium castings. According to the report, the growing demand from the Automotive industry is one of the major drivers in the Metal Stamping industry in the US. The Automotive industry is the major end-user in the Metal Stamping industry in the US and is adopting metal stamping products at a rapid rate.
