Europe Automotive Webbing Market To Reach $197.2Mn By 2030

Europe Automotive Webbing Market Growth & Trends

The Europe automotive webbing market size is expected to reach USD 197.2 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2030. The growth is attributed to the increasing demand for webbing in automotive applications for manufacturing seatbelts, battery die-down straps, push & pull straps, and boot lining assemblies.

Rising technological advancements and the availability of a wide array of customizations, such as color and size, in the webbing offered by several key players, are further fueling the growth. For instance, Elastic-Berger GmbH & Co. KG is engaged in manufacturing various types of seatbelts providing integrated microphones for voice recognition. Apart from the usage of the product in seatbelts, the webbing is also used in a multitude of applications in vehicles, including airbag tethers, battery holders, car mat bindings, door tethers, and boot lining assemblies, among others.

Rapid advancements in the use of high-performance raw materials to produce automotive webbing are significantly adding value to these products. Raw materials used for manufacturing webbing include polyesters, cotton, nylon, polypropylene, carbon fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWP), Dyneema (DSM), and Kevlar (DuPont).

The majority of the raw material suppliers have been entering into strategic tie-ups with other manufacturers. These include resource and technology sharing, which also involves expanding production facilities to fulfill the demand-supply gap in the market. This also plays an important role in maintaining their prime position as a supplier in the value chain.

The application industries procure webbing and related products from manufacturers through a distribution or supply channel. Since the line follows business-to-business product procurement, the presence of small regional players and distribution centers is eliminated in the process. This helps the manufacturers maintain a long-term business relationship with end-users, which readily reduces operating costs.

The industry is fragmented in nature and is highly competitive owing to the presence of a large number of players in the market. The companies in the market are focused on R&D investments to improve product strength, durability, and quality, and reduce product weight. Product strength with higher safety standards is the key factor that offers a competitive advantage to the industry participants. The companies in the market use mergers and product contract strategies to strengthen their position in the competitive market.
