According to UnivDatos analysis, the increasing vehicle production and electrification, coupled with stringent safety regulations, are the major factors driving the growth of the ICE & BEV seatbelt material market. As per their “ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 6,949.23 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 6.42% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.

The ICE and BEV Seatbelt Material Market has been growing steadily as the world seeks superior, strong, and sustainable safety systems in the automotive industry. Seatbelt materials are significant in terms of ensuring occupant safety, because these materials, which are designed to sustain abrasion, extreme tensile stress, and performance under different conditions. They are polyester, nylon, and polypropylene webbing and are common in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and battery electric vehicles (BEV), where reliability and adherence to high safety requirements are paramount. In the case of bulk manufacturing of seatbelts, various varieties of seatbelt parts, including webbing, retractor systems, buckle systems, and anchor systems, are combined to provide highly effective restraint systems. In addition, the high-speed development of the world car manufacturing industry, the growing electrification of fleets, replacement needs in the aftermarket, lightweight and smart materials of textiles as seatbelts, etc., continue to stimulate the growth of the ICE and BEV seatbelt material market.

Rising Vehicle Production & Electrification

The increasing number of vehicles produced in the world, along with the ever-increasing transition towards electrification, drives the ICE & BEV seatbelt material market. Innovation in passenger car manufacturing has remained a steady trend in emerging markets like India, China, and Brazil, with rising incomes and urbanization creating pressure on demand for cheap and middle-income cars. As an example, China continues to be the biggest automobile manufacturer in the world, and a major demand for automotive safety parts such as hi-tech seatbelt material. Meanwhile, the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is changing the need for materials rapidly. Manufacturers of BEVs are focusing on lightweight and sustainable seatbelts, as well as lightweight and sustainable seatbelt fabrics, to maximize the efficiency of vehicles and increase battery range. Such companies as Tesla and BYD have been aggressively lobbying for environmentally friendly interiors, and this includes seatbelt webbing that is crafted of a recyclable or bio-based fabric. In this way, the concomitant expansion of ICE vehicles in the developing markets and BEVs in developed ones guarantees the sustained and compounded demand for seatbelt materials. For instance, according to the report published by OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the total number of passenger cars produced globally was 84810719 units in 2022, which increased to 93452506 units in 2023.

Adoption of Smart and Sensor-Integrated Seatbelts in the Global ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market

The adoption of smart and sensor-integrated seatbelts is one of the most promising upcoming trends in the ICE and BEV seatbelt material market. These systems may be able to detect real-time belt tension, occupancy, usage, and exchange information with vehicle safety systems to adjust dynamically in case of a crash event. As an example, in June 2025, Volvo will have an example when it has a "multi-adaptive safety belt" on its future EX60 EV, which will be able to identify 11 load-limiting profiles using sensor data (body shape, seating position, crash metrics) and choose the best one to secure the maximum protection.

Another one: Active Control Retractor (ACR), technology by ZF, vibrates or pre-tensions the belt according to the dynamics of the vehicle to improve occupant warning and control. The stricter safety regulations, increasing consumer demands on so-called connected safety, and the trend of integrated, intelligent vehicle architectures are the driving forces behind this trend. Seatbelt systems are no longer simple mechanical boxes, but adaptive, active safety systems that are becoming more sensor-laden and computer-controlled as vehicles rely less on mechanical engineering and more on software engineering.

Safety, Electrification, and Innovation Boost Global ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market

The ICE & BEV seatbelt material Market in the whole world is set to experience long-term growth due to the increasing production of automobiles, the accelerated speed of electrifying the fleet of vehicles, and the growing value of passenger safety. The conventional polyester is the most common one, but more lightweight, recyclable, and smart textiles with alternatives to conventional fabrics are being adopted in the market to achieve these changing efficiency and sustainability requirements. Sensor-enabled seatbelts, such as the Multi-Adaptive Safety Belt installed by Volvo and the Active Control Retractor installed by ZF, exemplify the move towards intelligent safety systems, which replace traditional passive restraints. Meanwhile, replacement demand combined with mandatory compliance gives the sector a boost against the backdrop of aftermarket demand. As the future of the automotive industry, with the growing production of ICE vehicles and developed economies driving the uptake of BEVs, the market is strategically positioned at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and consumer safety expectations, thereby guaranteeing long-term operational growth and change.
