Some ventilated seat systems are designed to optimize energy consumption, contributing to a more environmentally conscious approach within the automotive sector.


Market trends also reveal a widening application of ventilated seats beyond the luxury vehicle segment. While initially associated with high-end cars, ventilated seats are gradually making their way into mid-range and even entry-level vehicles. This democratization of ventilated seat technology is driven by a combination of consumer demand and advancements in manufacturing processes, making these features more cost-effective to produce.


The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had varying effects on different industries, and the automotive sector, including the ventilated seats market, is no exception. Supply chain disruptions and changing consumer behaviors have influenced market dynamics. However, the increasing focus on health and hygiene, prompted by the pandemic, has further emphasized the importance of comfortable and well-ventilated seating in vehicles.


In conclusion, the market trends of ventilated seats reflect a dynamic landscape shaped by evolving consumer preferences, technological innovations, and broader industry shifts. As automakers strive to meet the demands of a discerning customer base, the integration of ventilated seat technology is likely to become more widespread across various vehicle segments. Whether driven by a desire for enhanced comfort, improved well-being, or a commitment to sustainability, the ventilated seats market is poised for continued growth and innovation.

Ventilated Seats Market Trends




  • The rising adoption of powered seats in mid-segment cars drives the market growth.




Market CAGR for ventilated seats is being driven by the rising adoption of powered seats in mid-segment cars & SUVs. A powerful shift in priority for bigger cars has almost doubled the percentage of SUVs over the years. According to IEA, the number of SUVs on the world's roads will grow by more than 35 million in 2021. Almost half of all cars marketed in the US and one-third sold in Europe are SUVs. Compared to Western countries, India's SUV sales are currently lower. However, OEMs are launching compact SUVS in a mid-price range, attracting buyers. Thus, the Indian market is inclined toward compact SUVs as they are more economical than full-size SUVs.


Rising concerns associated with emissions from air conditioning in vehicles have drawn regulatory attention in recent years. Countries have been framing laws and standards which monitor fuel emissions. This has forced the automobile manufacturers to look for alternative options for air conditioning. One option that has gained traction is ventilated seats, which minimize fuel use and emissions. The 'Road to Zero' initiative by the UK in which the country plans to have zero conventional powered vehicles by 2040. Such initiatives and plans will help drive up the sales of electric vehicles globally. With the expansion in the adoption of electric vehicles globally, the demand for the product is increased over the forecast period.


High-end and luxury automobiles frequently have ventilated seats. However, car makers are emphasizing more on providing ventilated seats in mid-segment and entry-level cars as well. For instance, Hyundai Motor offers a sedan with standard ventilated seats for the driver and front-seat occupant, while Chevrolet Malibu features ventilated seats. Ford Motor also sells a mid-sized sedan with ventilated seats. Hence, an increasing number of automakers are likely to fuel the expansion of the worldwide ventilated seat market revenue market by including ventilated seats in mid-segment and entry-level vehicles.


Additionally, the growing use of energy-efficient climate control seats for entry-level cars in mid-segment vehicles will allow the vehicles to maintain the mile range without losing comfort. Various key manufacturers are launching their products to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in November 2022, General Motors announced that its vehicles affected by the removal of the heated and ventilated seats feature recently announced due to the semiconductor shortage will be eligible for a retrofit process next year.
