Car seat ventilation is an advanced function that is built into the car seat to guide air through the seat to occupants to improve comfort, especially in warm weather conditions and long-distance travel. The main benefits associated with car ventilated seats include lowering seat temperature when a vehicle is parked in the sun and drying out any moisture or sweat between seats and occupant. These seats function through several fans mounted on backrest and seat cushions. Car ventilated seat system is a common feature of luxury and high-end segment cars. However, currently automakers are focusing on providing these systems to mid-range and even entry-level vehicles. There are many automobiles that offer different fan speeds in seat ventilation. In June 2019, Lear Corporation invested $ 30 million for a new 240,000 square-foot assembly and subassembly plant in Hammond, Indiana, where it is expected to continue as a supplier for Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant. Lear began commercial production in June 2019 to supply 375,000 seats per year to the Chicago Assembly Plant for the Ford Explorer ventilated seats. Improvements in lifestyle and economy are leading to change in global customer preferences. With rise in purchasing power parity and disposable income, increasing brand awareness, and competition among OEMs to offer advanced features, the automotive ventilated seats market is expected to grow. Maximizing average driving time spent in a vehicle has increased, leading to a demand for comfortable seats.
