Automotive artificial leather refers to a synthetic leather material made from chemically synthesized materials (primarily polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), and thermoplastic olefin (TPO)) for use in automotive interior coverings (such as seats, door panels, instrument panels, and steering wheels). It mimics the look, feel, and functionality of natural leather, offering advantages such as low cost, mass production, stain and water resistance, and ease of processing. Not only does this material meet aesthetic and comfort requirements, but it can also be enhanced with flame retardancy, UV resistance, antibacterial properties, and wear resistance through the addition of additives. It is a widely used interior material in mid- to high-end and economy vehicles, offering a valuable alternative to natural leather. In recent years, with tightening environmental regulations, new artificial leathers such as water-based PU, artificial microfiber leather, and bio-based synthetic leather have seen rapid development.
In recent years, national and local government departments have successively issued and implemented environmental protection measures, including air pollution prevention and control plans, synthetic leather industry regulation implementation plans, and environmental access requirements for the synthetic leather industry. Currently, the development of environmentally friendly green synthetic leather focuses primarily on water-based and solvent-free options, eliminating organic solvent pollution from the source of the production process, thereby achieving clean production of synthetic leather and promising development prospects. For example, new technology materials such as water-based PU, hot-melt coatings, and recycled PET fiber backings are gradually replacing traditional solvent-based materials, improving the environmental performance and reusability of leather. Some leading suppliers have even proposed "net-zero VOC" and "carbon-neutral leather" solutions, integrating leather production into their full lifecycle management systems.
High-end vehicles are increasingly integrating temperature regulation (heating/ventilation), pressure sensing, touch response, and even biometric recognition functions into the leather surface or backing structure. For example, seats can sense body temperature and adjust heating intensity through the leather surface, or enable in-vehicle control functions with a simple touch. This type of "smart leather" typically utilizes a multi-layer composite structure, embedding a sensing film, heating elements, and microcircuits, achieving technological integration without altering the feel or appearance. Lightweight design has become a key trend in electric vehicles. Since electric vehicles are extremely sensitive to energy consumption and range, lightweighting the entire vehicle is a core goal, and interior materials, as a key component, also face the challenge of weight reduction. Traditional genuine leather is thinned and laminated with lightweight foam to significantly reduce its weight per unit area. Synthetic leather, on the other hand, achieves both high performance and low weight through micro-foaming technology, a thin backing, and a high-strength, low-density substrate. For example, some microfiber PU leathers can now be kept below 0.6mm in thickness, reducing weight by approximately 20% without sacrificing strength and durability.
