What Trends Are Reshaping The Future Of The Automotive Seat Belts Market?
Leading firms in the automotive seat belt market are shifting their focus towards the creation of novel solutions such as heated seat belt technology to boost their market profitability. Automotive heated seat belt technology pertains to the inclusion of heating components within seat belts to increase passenger comfort by offering warmth in cold weather. For example, ZF Friedrichshafen, a German engineering technology firm, launched Heat Belt in January 2023. This innovative heated seat belt designed for electric vehicles enhances passenger comfort in cold weather. This development aims to lessen energy consumption for interior heating, potentially increasing an EV's range by about 15% in cold weather. The heating conductors are incorporated within the seat belt structure, which enables it to operate traditionally while providing near-body warmth as soon as the car starts to move.
