Growing Demand for High Speed Rail Networks to Aid the Market Growth of Train Seat Materials

The market growth of train seat materials is being propelled by growing demand for high speed rail networks, which is expected to offer a strong platform for the market growth of train seat materials during the forecast period. Moreover, stringent fire safety rules in Europe, such as fire testing of materials and components of trains like EN45545 by the European Union and British Standard BS6853, are against the use of polyester foam and certain other fabrics in seat upholstery. Therefore, manufacturers are opting for leather as opposed to conventional train seat fabrics. In addition to this, the leather train seats are more hygienic, aesthetically appealing, and ergonomic. The aforementioned factors are expected to boost the market for train seat materials as manufacturers are shifting from the conventional vinyl train seat materials.
