Silicone leather will be used more and more in the automotive and furniture sectors in the future.

In response to current environmental policy trends, the artificial leather sector has also seen the rise of several eco-friendly leathers. As one of these, silicone leather is increasingly being used in both the automotive and furniture sectors.

Why has it become an industry trend?

Environmental compliance: Silicone materials comply with EU ROHS standards, meeting the needs of the automotive industry's green transformation. Conventional artificial leather materials used in automotive interiors and car seats can release harmful gases when exposed to high temperatures or prolonged exposure in closed environments. However, silicone leather uses no organic solvents (such as DMF and formaldehyde), eliminating the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the source, providing a sense of safety and security during use.

Performance advantages: Abrasion resistance is over three times that of traditional materials, and UV and ozone resistance ensures long-term outdoor use without discoloration or aging.

According to research, the global synthetic leather market for automotive interiors is growing at an annual rate of 4.5%, with 32% of high-end models replacing traditional materials with silicone.

In the future, with the integration of intelligent coating technologies like antibacterial and self-healing technologies, silicone leather will further penetrate electric and intelligent applications.
