Textiles for the automotive industry

Automotive textiles encompass materials and components for seats, interior trim, headliners, flooring, acoustic solutions, and functional surfaces in vehicle interiors. This segment is currently characterized by the trend toward lighter vehicles, the increasing use of recycled and bio-based materials, and stricter requirements for circularity and CO2 reduction. At the same time, comfort, design freedom, and the integration of additional interior functions are gaining in importance as vehicles are increasingly differentiated by user experience and material quality. This ensures that the segment remains central to sustainable, efficient, and brand-defining vehicle concepts.
