With increasing adoption of multiple technologies in a single package, the demand for a combination of heated, ventilated, and memory seats and heated, ventilated, memory, and massage seats is expected to grow during the forecast period. Heated seats offered in conjunction with powered seats are mainly equipped in mid and high-end SUVs. Europe is the second-largest market for heated & powered seats. Due to the hot weather conditions in India, Brazil, and Mexico, these countries present minimal demand for heated seats. Therefore, the heated & powered seats segment will exhibit moderate growth in these countries.
