Intense OEM competition, desire for premium materials, and shifting consumer preferences toward connected experiences are shaping product evolution. Regional production expansion and supply chain resilience further support sustained global growth.

For instance, in April 2025, FORVIA Group unveiled nine world premieres at Auto Shanghai, highlighting its leadership in automotive innovation and sustainability. Among these breakthroughs, the company introduced a highly modular, on-demand centre console designed for flexibility and user-centric functionality, seamlessly integrating with advanced digital interiors to meet evolving consumer preferences for smart, customizable vehicle experiences.

Electrification and Autonomy to Fuel the Automotive Centre Console Market Demand

Electric vehicles (EVs) and self-driving cars are fueling the demand for digital, interactive center consoles that can manage everything from advanced systems and charging stations to ADAS and infotainment screens. As more people embrace EVs, particularly in regions such as China, Europe, and the United States, the technology behind these consoles is evolving to keep up, making smart displays and controls a must-have across all vehicle types. Drivers are now looking for features such as seamless USB integration, wireless charging, voice control, and multi-touch displays, which are turning center consoles into essential hubs within vehicles. The growing production of vehicles and a shift towards luxury options are only speeding up this trend, leading to a surge in demand.

For instance, in November 2023, Grammer AG announced the introduction of a newly developed centre console for the latest Mercedes-Benz GLC, featuring a lightweight and highly functional design as a prominent style element. The console acts as a bridge between the rear passenger area and the digital cockpit, offering a butterfly lid for storage, interior-matching trim, and a display carrier for easy infotainment access.

Premium Interior Market Growth Shapes Automotive Centre Console Market Dynamics

Luxury and comfort-focused vehicle sales are rising, incentivizing manufacturers to invest in high-end materials—leather, wood veneers, and ambient lighting within centre consoles. These features not only enhance perceived value but also boost consumer appeal, particularly in the premium and mid-luxury segments. With increasing environmental concerns and regulations, there is a push for using recycled, bio-based, or lightweight plastics and composites. Companies are investing in eco-friendly materials and practices that make manufacturing more efficient, while also enhancing their brand image and aligning with global sustainability efforts. Automakers are getting creative with materials, incorporating vegan leathers made from pineapple leaves, cactus, and apple peels, along with recycled PET bottles and plant-based polyurethanes, all aimed at reducing their environmental footprint and attracting eco-conscious consumers. Plus, the integration of innovative digital interfaces and modular designs in centre consoles is transforming the in-cabin experience, merging luxury with smart, sustainable technology to meet the changing expectations of modern-day drivers.

Floor-Mounted Segment Leads in the Global Automotive Centre Console Market

Based on position type, the floor-mounted console dominates due to its ergonomic and functional versatility. Nestled right in the centre, this design brings together gear selectors, storage bins, cup holders, armrests, control switches, and infotainment connectors into one easy-to-reach unit. It is a perfect fit for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, providing the kind of modularity that OEMs love for sharing platforms across different models. Plus, it is equipped to manage the latest tech, including wireless charging pads, touch panels, haptic feedback controls, and customizable ambient lighting, all of which really boosts its appeal.

Manufacturers are really getting the most out of their production processes by using standardized, scalable modules that make assembly easier and cut down on costs. On the other hand, consumers find that floor-mounted consoles are much more user-friendly. As vehicle interiors move towards a sleek yet practical design, this segment strikes the perfect balance between style, convenience, and technology, solidifying its position as a market leader.

For instance, in October 2022, Antolin Group launched its Smart Sliding Floor Console, which features a power-slide mechanism for easy movement between front and rear passengers, smart cupholders, a hot water dispenser, and advanced infotainment displays.

Asia-Pacific Dominates the Global Automotive Centre Console Market Size

The Asia-Pacific is leading the way in the console market, due to its extensive automotive manufacturing network that spans China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The surge in urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and the widespread adoption of electric vehicles are driving the demand for sophisticated, connected console systems that come equipped with touchscreens, voice control, and wireless charging capabilities. Both local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and international brands are setting up regional research and development as well as production facilities, which is speeding up the integration of modern technologies and making scaling more cost-effective.

Government incentives, especially for EVs, support console innovation, while extensive component supply chains enable agile manufacturing and customization. The burgeoning middle class’s appetite for luxury and premium experiences further propels the adoption of high-end materials and smart features. Industry collaboration between interior module suppliers and tech firms boosts localized innovation and strengthens regional leadership.

For instance, in September 2023, Grammer AG launched a luxury rear centre console for the HiPhi X electric SUV, featuring a display holder, smartphone trays, cupholders, and two-fold-out tables concealed beneath a butterfly armrest. Produced at Grammer’s Shanghai facility, the console emphasizes premium materials and practical design to enhance passenger comfort and convenience in the high-end Chinese EV.

Impact of the U.S. Tariffs on the Global Automotive Centre Console Market

Recent U.S. tariffs on imported automotive parts, including raw materials and finished emission control systems, have led to cost pressures across the catalyst supply chain. These tariffs have disrupted procurement flows and forced companies to reconsider sourcing strategies. In response, manufacturers are increasingly shifting toward localized production and supply chain diversification to reduce exposure. Some companies are looking into extracting and refining PGMs right here at home. While these tariffs might pose some immediate hurdles, they are also sparking innovation and encouraging regional investments. This could lead to the development of stronger and more resilient networks for catalyst production in the future.
