Adoption of ABTS Drive Middle East & Africa Automotive Seat Market
All-Belts-to-Seat (ABTS) are seatbelts that can be cab mounted or built into the seat itself. According to SAE International, ABTS seatbelts have enhanced performance and retention in rear impacts than conventional seats without ABTS. It offers a supreme space-saving seating solution while maintaining optimal comfort and versatility. Such benefits of the ABTS are encouraging its adoption in the automotive sector. The focus on safety of the driver and passengers has led to the introduction of a few stringent government regulations. According to Fire Apparatus Manufacturers' Association, certain manufacturers offer ABTS dual-retractor seat belts as an additional safety feature to provide stronger, faster retraction, preventing snagging on equipment and harm to the belts from apparatus doors. These dual-retractor systems help accommodate larger occupants and/or bulky occupant-worn gear. Thus, the increasing adoption of ABTS is anticipated to fuel the Middle East & Africa automotive seat market growth during the forecast period.Middle East & Africa Automotive Seat Market Overview

Executive Summary
At 2.5% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Automotive Seat Market is Speculated to be worth US$ 2,224.91 million by 2030.According to this research, the Middle East & Africa automotive seat market was valued at US$ 1,821.32 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,224.91 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 2.5% from 2022 to 2030. Penetration of heated/ventilated technology in low segment cars and adoption of ABTS are the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa automotive seat market expansion.
The comfort of passengers and driver is a must to enhance safety and avoid accidents. This has led to the introduction of heated/ventilated technology in seats. The advantages of this technology in vehicles can be significantly experienced while travelling in extreme weather conditions. The heated/ventilated seats play an important role in ensuring optimal seat temperature. Ventilated seats are equipped with vents or small fans for forced air circulation, which helps in providing an immediate cooling effect. Heated seats are equipped with internal thermostats to maintain seat temperature. Although advanced technologies are widely adopted in high-end cars, they are likely to be introduced in low segment cars in the near future due to the growing demand. As air conditioners consume energy from the engine for its operation, it reduces fuel efficiency by 21-24% and increases carbon emissions by 120%. This could increase the expense of people using low segment cars. With the inclusion of heated/ventilated seats in low segment cars, significant fuel cost can be saved. Therefore, the penetration of heated/ventilated technology in low segment cars is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the Middle East & Africa automotive seat market during the forecast period.
