Market Overview:
Train seat materials are mainly used in railway carriages, metros and local
trains. Seat materials play a vital role in providing comfort to passengers
during long distance journeys. Some key materials used in train seats include
leather, fabrics, foams and composites. Leather provides durability and style
whereas fabrics offer breathability. Foams provide cushioning effect and absorb
pressure. Composites are lightweight and durable. Train operators are focusing
on using ergonomic and comfortable materials to enhance passenger experience.
Market Dynamics:
Growing investments in rail transport infrastructure is a key driver for the
train seat materials market. Governments across countries are undertaking major
projects to expand existing rail networks as well as develop high-speed rail
corridors. This is generating substantial demand for new train coaches fitted
with premium seats. Furthermore, increasing long distance traveling is also
fueling the need for comfortable seating solutions on trains. Passengers prefer
well-cushioned and breathable materials that minimize fatigue during journeys.
Materials manufacturers are engaged in extensive R&D to develop innovative,
lightweight and easy to clean products. They are using advanced technologies
like 3D printed polymers and phase change materials.
Segment
