Restraints 

• Environmental Regulations on Material Use: Stricter environmental regulations regarding the use of synthetic materials in automotive seats are posing challenges for manufacturers. In 2023, Magna International had to shift to alternative materials after regulations in the EU restricted certain types of polyurethane foam used in seat cushioning. 

• Limited Availability of Sustainable Materials: While the demand for sustainable materials is rising, their availability remains limited. In 2023, Faurecia struggled to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly seats due to the limited supply of plant-based and recycled materials, causing delays in production. 

• Competition from Non-Automotive Seating Solutions: The rise of multi-purpose seating solutions, especially from industries such as aviation and office furniture, is presenting competition. In 2023, Adient observed increasing pressure from companies like Herman Miller, which introduced ergonomic seating options applicable across multiple sectors.
