Increased demand for convenience and user-friendliness in vehicles is expected to drive automotive cabin comfort systems market growth over the forecast period. Among the most significant developments of such systems was the evolution of air conditioning systems. Furthermore, owing to technological proliferation, HVAC systems have become more efficient, which is also expected to favorably impact market growth. Modern automatic temperature control set-ups allow adjustments even for backseat passengers. Automotive cabin comfort systems ensure that both the driver and passengers are comfortable. Contemporary automotive HVAC systems provide accurate but basic temperature control. However, in the near future, cars are expected to witness increasing adoption of high-tech and sophisticated systems that will control the cabin atmosphere with the help of air quality, light, humidity, and radiation sensors. Incorporation of comfort and safety sensors within a car helps enhance driver as well as passenger comfort and is expected to fuel market growth.
The automotive cabin comfort systems market is also expected to witness considerable growth over the next few years, as these systems provide the driver as well as the passengers with protection against common traffic exhaust gases such as hydrocarbon and carbon oxide. Furthermore, the ability of sensors to detect a wide variety of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that build up smell within a car is also expected to drive automotive cabin comfort systems market growth. However, high-cost systems and maintenance related issues are some factors that may pose a challenge to market growth.
Key industry players include Sensata Technologies, Denso Corporation, Delphi Automotive PLC, and Bosch. Mergers and acquisitions are expected to remain the key growth strategies.
