The material technologies in automotive seat backrest has undergone significant change in recent years, with high strength low alloy steel to advanced high strength steel. The rising wave of new material technologies, such as magnesium, steel, and aluminum are creating significant potential for automotive seat backrests in various vehicles due to high strength, enhanced durability, and comfortability of the backrest.

Seat backrest suppliers are using various material technologies, such as low-alloy steel, low-carbon steel, wrought magnesium, cast magnesium, cast aluminum, epoxy carbon fiber sheet molding compound (CF-SMC), and carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRP). The reduction in weight of vehicles for optimized efficiency, and consumer demand for safety and comfort, increasing demand for premium and luxury vehicles, and development of advanced seating system technologies are creating opportunities for various automotive seat backrest technologies.

Some of the latest technological developments by various countries in the automotive seat backrest market are as follows:
  • Germany: German automakers like Daimler and BMW are increasingly adopting CFRP backrests to meet stricter EU emission regulations. Daimler announced its all-electric EQS SUV will feature lightweight CFRP seats for extended range.
  • Japan: Toyota and Honda are investing in wrought magnesium backrests for a balance of weight savings and affordability. Toyota recently partnered with a supplier to develop a high-volume production process for magnesium seat frames.
  • China: Chinese companies are focusing on developing cost-effective alternatives like CF-SMC backrests. Local supplier BYD unveiled a new CF-SMC seat concept offering significant weight reduction at a competitive price point. The Chinese government has set ambitious electric vehicle (EV) sales targets. This is driving demand for lightweight seat backrests in EVs produced in China.
  • India: Indian carmakers are optimizing low-cost steel backrests for safety and passenger comfort. Tata Motors announced a new hot-stamping technology to create high-strength, lightweight steel seat frames for its upcoming car models.
