    GLOBAL BUS SEATS MARKET DYNAMICS

    The rapid urbanization, growth in the international and national tourism industry, urban traffic congestion, shifting mobility patterns, and government promoting public transport are anticipated to fuel the demand for bus seats during the forecast period. Buses are one of the safest, convenient, greenest, most user-friendly, and affordable modes of transport for short and long-distance transport. In 2019, bus production decreased by 3.3%, to 271,204 compared to 280,387 in 2018, owing to the global economic crisis and the US-China trade war.

     

    Bus seats are noticing various technological advancements, as more and more electric and hybrid buses are being launched and adopted in different countries. Buses are shifting toward lightweight components and systems. Standard seats come with features, like the individual armrest, seat pockets, coat hanger. However, there is an increasing demand for light-weight seats with features, such as USB charging points, horizontal movement of seats, vertical grab handles on the seatback, and lumbar support.

     

    Various local governments have different innovative plans to promote public transport, such as providing free transportation. For instance, Luxembourg became the first country to make all its transportation free. Governments have plans to invest around USD 4 billion from 2018 to 2028, for the up-gradation of the bus network and for adding more park-and-ride sites in their borders. There are other major countries where free bus transportation is provided under certain conditions.

    The market is marked by several local players with intense competitive rivalry and margin pressure. Seat manufacturers are actively setting up alliances and expanding in the emerging markets, such as India and China, to take advantage of the low labor costs. This trend may change the dynamics of the industry during the forecast period. Furthermore, seat manufacturers must focus on these emerging markets to remain competitive.

     

    GLOBAL BUS SEATS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

    The market for recliner seats is expected to record higher revenue compared to other seat types available in the market during the forecast period. Recliner seats are flexible and comfortable for long distance journeys; also the demand for these seats from bus manufacturers is high.

    APAC is expected to hold the largest share of the bus seat market by 2026; the market in this region is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2021 and 2026. Rising demand for transportation for a large population, urbanization, and increasing economic developments are driving the growth of the bus seat market in APAC.

     

    One of the key factors restraining the growth of the bus seat market is the lack of standardization of seating systems in buses.

     

    RECENT TRENDS IN THE MARKET

    In 2020, the European Commission approved USD 332 million of additional state funding in Germany, with a total funding of USD 719 million for incentivizing electric bus orders by the end of 2021.

     

    BYD, one of the leading electric bus manufacturers headquartered in China, has sold more than 500 electric buses in Southern California. Its customers include airports, universities, private operators, and transit agencies.

    Currently, China is the forerunner in the electric bus market. In 2020, 17% of buses sold in China were e-buses. Moreover, the overall bus sales in the country are expected to remain stable, with more than 400,000 new purchases by 2025.

    The Indian government has proposed to open up the public bus sector to the private companies.

     

    Similarly, in the US, the regional transportation agencies have integrated private commuter buses as alternative transportation. Such high investments and initiatives by governments will propel bus transportation, thereby driving market growth.
