Heated Steering Wheel Market to Reflect Robust Expansion During 2018 - 2028

Market Overview
One of the major trends noticeable in the automotive industry is the trickling down of innovation from the luxury car segment to the entry level variants segment. Features or amenities that were once introduced in high-end cars, such as anti-lock braking system, power windows and electronic stability system, among others are now available for lower classes of vehicles as well. Both automakers and auto ancillary suppliers leverage the novelty of a luxury car by rendering it as a testing ground for latest innovations so as to understand how consumers react to it. In a way, luxury vehicles have become a low risk prospect for manufacturers to implement new features and technologies. These features are further refined in stages, bringing down the cost, and subsequently finding their way into entry level or mass marketed vehicles. One such feature that is still in its introductory stage is the automatic heating of steering wheel. Though patents have been filed for heated steering wheels way back in the 1960s, actual implementation of such technology is gaining traction in the present market scenario. Similar to heated seats, this feature does not have any implications towards the performance of a vehicle, but is catered as an add-on comfort feature.
From a customer point of view, heated steering wheels have been introduced in vehicles sold in colder regions to enhance comfort for consumers as it is impractical and cumbersome to engage in the steering function with gloves on. As we are all aware of the fact that drivers spend most of their time steering the vehicle, automakers have implemented controls of various sub-functions into the steering wheel to ensure the hands remain on the wheel for the entire duration of the drive. This factor further necessitates the practicality and usefulness of a heated steering wheel.
The global heated steering wheel market is likely to gain improved revenue returns in the coming years. However, it must also be noted that the market share – in terms of both value and volume – will be higher in economies where the requirement of heated steering wheels leans more towards necessity than as an add-on feature.
