Why Should We Choose Microfiber Leather for Car Interiors?

Microfiber leather is widely used in the footwear industry, automotive interiors, furniture sofas, high-end gloves and electronic product jackets, etc., especially in the automotive industry showing a trend of rapid growth year by year. It is also precisely because of the cross-industry product of microfiber synthetic leather and the technical principle that the bundled collagen fiber in natural leather is made of sea-island microfiber with similar structure and performance, which is very suitable for application in car seat cushions.

According to relevant statistics, the automobile industry has achieved rapid development in the past ten years, and China's car ownership in 2015 was approximately 24 million. Among them, passenger cars can reach 18 million. Calculated by using 10 square meters of seat leather for each, 30% of them are made of environmentally friendly island microfiber leather. Passenger cars alone require 54 million square meters each year, which is half of the fabric in the automotive aftermarket. The seats are remodeled, and some second-hand cars are upgraded, requiring 50-80 million square meters of leather and microfiber leather fabrics. Because leather processing is an industry with a large amount of sewage treatment, it has caused more serious pollution. The replacement of real leather with microfiber leather will also be the main development trend in the future.

It can be seen that due to environmental factors, national policies and the global automobile market, microfiber leather has become a better substitute for genuine leather.
