By GlobalDataCSM said two factors contribute most to the increased market growth and market concentration: suppliers’ regional expansion and electronic component capability.
“Eight of the world’s top ten interior trim suppliers provide components to OEMs in at least two of the three major light vehicle producing regions: Japan, North America and Europe,” said spokesman Don Montroy. “These suppliers also have a diverse customer base in more than one region.”
Additionally, electronics capability provides suppliers the opportunity to provide high-content, electronics-heavy modules, thus increasing the overall value of an interior module. Five of the top 10 offer electronics.
Cockpit modules are a great example of an interior trim component that has gone from low-value component to high-value module. “Not so long ago the instrument panel was a relatively simple plastic component,” added Montroy. “But it has been transformed into a highly-integrated, high- dollar-value cockpit module.”
