Leather will need to keep sharing car interiors
17/07/2018
In recent comments to automotive industry media, Mr Scott said Lear’s acquisition of automotive leather manufacturer Eagle Ottawa in 2014 has put it in “the ideal position” to react to these changes in demand.
He said change in consumer demand is already affecting many aspects of car interiors and that the pace of this change will increase in the years ahead. Seats will be subjected to greater wear and tear because of trends such as ride-sharing, which Mr Scott said is already popular in the US.
But he added that there will also be a need for car seats to offer health and wellbeing features, for example by detecting the user’s posture and adjusting automatically as required.
