Leading players have adopted a variety of strategies to gain market share and competitive advantage. These are for instance:

  • Corning has developed a light-diffusing fiber, which is an alternative to separately weaving light-emitting diode into interior fabrics for ambient lighting.
  • Philips is developing a solar-powered, organic, light-emitting diode fitted transparent car roof in partnership with BASF.
  • Faurecia is working on an active wellness seating system that uses sensors to detect heart rate and breathing patterns.
  • Johnson Controls is developing sensor- and camera-driven, self-adjusting seats.
  • Harman is working on creating two audio zones within the car using advanced noise-cancellation technology.

“Biometrics will be an integral part of cockpits and cabins of the future, and OEMs and suppliers should pursue partnerships with innovative biometric companies or fund relevant nascent start-ups,” noted Praveen. “Research and development expenditure should focus on growth areas such as heads-up displays, human-machine interface (HMI), and fully digital instrument clusters.”
