In the current scenario, buyers consider the vehicle’s interior as an important feature while purchasing a car, truck, or an SUV. Upholstery is an integral part of the interior. As vehicle interior is becoming more elaborate, with contrasting surfaces and textures used to bring in the decorative and functional effect, automotive makers are considering new materials for the upholstery, with enhanced environmental performance. Fabric coatings, such as Scotchgard, also observed significant growth, as customers work to preserve the upscale interiors that they purchase. In general, the peripheral industries to the automotive upholstery industry are also experiencing steady growth. As upholstery continues to evolve and capture the attention of automotive buyers, the materials and tools used to maintain that upholstery naturally experience an increasing demand. Woven fabrics are used in dashboards, sun visors, seats and interior walls, and represent the fastest growing fabric type in the automotive upholstery market. Woven fabrics often consist of nylon, polyester, wool, or polypropylene, which have excellent performance characteristics. These materials are resistant to ultraviolet radiation and have reduced flammability, making them ideal for extreme environments sometimes found within vehicle interiors.

Inertial systems comprise IMUs in combination with high-performance sensors (gyroscopes, magnetometers, and accelerometers), to provide high-accuracy information about the surrounding environment, through relative movement. The powerful combination of IMUs with other onboard sensors, produces critical data increasing reliability of the vehicles and leading to new automation breakthroughs in automotive applications. The current generation of automobiles highly rely on the collection of data from various sensors used in the vehicle. Gyroscopes and accelerometers provide essential measurements for improving the control and stability of the vehicle. Both these sensors are liable to make significant noise at low frequency, resulting in low accuracy of the measurements, especially under the low-dynamic conditions. When these sensors are deployed in combination with inertial systems, both gyroscopes and accelerometers record accurate data regarding the rotation of wheels. This is very helpful in gathering data on wheel heading, roll and pitch estimation that stand to be key elements in managing the stability of a vehicle.

The air injection reaction (AIR) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) play an important part of the automotive exhaust and emission control system. The exhaust manifold acts as a pathway for the exhaust gases from the exhaust ports of the engine’s cylinder and the exhaust pipes diverts the exhaust gases to the rear of the vehicle. Exhaust systems that have one pipe are single exhaust systems and that have two pipes are dual exhaust systems. Engines such as V6 and V8 can have single or dual exhaust by installing a crossover pipe that is used to connect the exhaust from both the banks and channel it into one pipe. The global automotive exhaust system market is segmented on the basis of technology, fuel type, vehicle type, and region. By technology, the market is divided into Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Selective catalytic reduction (SCR), Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF), and others. By fuel type, it is bifurcated into gasoline and diesel. By vehicle type, it is categorized into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Automotive radar is one of the leading technologies owing to its high precision and accuracy information content, including speed and range detection when compared to many other alternative sensors especially visual sensors. Automotive radar systems are the primary sensors adaptive cruise controls and play a very crucial role in the advance driver assistance system. In addition, automotive radar is one of the crucial sensors for collision avoidance, vehicle & pedestrian avoidance, and others. The automotive radar market is anticipated to exhibit remarkable growth rate during the forecast owing to rise in demand for vehicle with safety features.

Backup camera for an automobile is used to get a clear picture of the backup side of the vehicle in order to avoid collisions and accidents which take place due to no visibility while parking the vehicle. Backup camera which are installed on the backup side of the vehicle helps to determine the backup blind spot thus preventing the accidents to occur. The area directly behind vehicles is known as a "killing zone" due to associated accidents and backup camera are used to avoid such kind of accidents. Backup cameras are usually attached to the head unit display of the vehicle and are designed in such a way that the image produced as output is horizontally flipped, thereby producing a mirror image of the object. Various governments across the globe have set regulations for vehicles to be equipped with backup camera as a mandatory component to ensure safety while parking the vehicle, which supports the growth of automotive Backup camera market.

The ultrasonic sensors measure distance through ultrasonic waves. The sensor head releases an ultrasonic wave and accepts the wave reflected back from a target. These sensors measure the distance to the target by calculating the time between emission and reception. The ultrasonic sensors are broadly used in diverse industries, including food & beverage, chemical, medical, automotive, agriculture, process, wastewater management, and more. These sensors have their application in a conveyor belt, smart parking, vehicle detection for car washes, pallet detection with forklifts, diagnosis, liquid level sensing, trash level monitoring, production lines, and others. Some of the prominent benefits of ultrasonic processing technology include process intensification, low power consumption, low cost of processing, operator-friendliness, simple adaptability to specific applications, and environmental safeness makes ultrasonication a technique for the reliable product quality with better outcomes. Owing to an increase in integrating automation into manufacturing and other industries, the use of industry 4.0 is contributing heavily towards the growth of the ultrasonic sensor market. Moreover, the use of sensors in autonomous vehicles and other vehicles with ADAS features to measure the range during parking is giving other opportunities to the automotive industry for growth. On the contrary, the availability of substitute products such as an optical sensor for measuring distance might act as an obstacle in the growth of ultrasonic sensor market.

Tailgates are the rear gates that are attached to the backside of the vehicle and are used to occupy the passengers at the back of the vehicle or to accumulate luggage. Tailgates used in a vehicle are of different types such as manually operated tailgates or the automatic tailgates and this depends on the level of autonomy of the vehicle. Owing to increased production and sales of the vehicle along with the technological upgradation in vehicles, manufacturers across the globe have introduced various products in tailgates, which leads to the growth of the automotive tailgate market across the globe.
