The Conventional Vehicles segment is projected to account for 46.80% of total Automotive Flock market revenue in 2025, representing the leading vehicle type. This predominance is being driven by the high global production volume of conventional vehicles, which continues to generate demand for interior enhancements and premium materials. The adoption of flocked interiors in these vehicles is facilitated by its ability to improve aesthetics, reduce noise, and provide durability at a cost-effective scale.
Automakers are increasingly leveraging fiber flocking in dashboards, door trims, and other interior panels to achieve consistent quality and tactile performance across mass-produced vehicles. Conventional vehicles benefit from proven supply chains, established manufacturing standards, and widespread consumer familiarity with interior flocked finishes.
As consumer expectations for comfort and quality in non-electric vehicles continue to rise, the integration of fiber-based flocking solutions is being prioritized to enhance cabin refinement and user experience The segment is expected to sustain growth, driven by ongoing production volumes and the continued preference for high-quality, functional interior surfaces in conventional automotive models.
Automotive flock is a powder composed of various fibers. Being light, odorless, and soft, automotive flock is mostly colored, as it is dyed during the manufacturing process. The length of the fibers used in automotive flock is usually constant, and ranges between 0.3 mm and 10 mm. Automotive flock is applied to vehicle parts using a versatile process known as flocking. Automotive flock can enhance the appearance of interiors, improving their aesthetics and colors.
Moreover, automotive flock improves the grip on the parts by increasing friction. Automotive flock has lower reflectivity, being one of the key factors for its application in vehicles that are used in motorsports. Automotive flock has also proven to minimize cabin noise and noise from vibrations. Automotive flock is also available as a self-adhesive tape, which is widely used in window seals in order to reduce window friction and maintain a clean surface. Apart from the aesthetics point of view, automotive flock is used in a vehicles to avoid scratching and to improve the anti-skidding properties.
Automotive flock is mainly applied in the interior parts of an automotive. While it can be installed on exterior surfaces as well, automotive flock on the exterior body of a vehicle is a customer's choice.
In emerging economies, the use of luxury cars is comparatively lower than mid-size and compact cars. As a large group of car owners belong to the middle to lower income groups, a majority of car owners do not opt for the installation of automotive flock. This can also be attributed to the fact that, a lower share of disposable income is dispensed on automotive. However, it is anticipated that, with the introduction of electric vehicles, the consumption of automotive flock will also increase, as the majority of cars introduced are compact and mid-sized cars. Self-adhesive tapes enable the DIY application of automotive flock, making the price economical, and potentially driving the market
Manufacturers are noted to enter into long-term contracts with vehicle manufacturers. Several automotive flock manufacturers either supply the product to OEMs and service providers or are forward integrated into manufacturing and providing the service to vehicles.
Regionally, the automotive flock market is estimated to be very strong in North America. Due to its rising popularity, car owners in North America are showing a demand for flocking services.
