Technological advancements, such as the development of lightweight, recyclable, and smart textile seatbelt materials, are enhancing passenger safety, sustainability, and comfort in both ICE and BEV vehicles, thereby driving the growth of the market.
Based on the component type, the retractor assembly segment dominated the ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market due to its central role in automatic adjustment, tension control, and integration with advanced safety features such as pre-tensioners, load limiters, and electronic sensors.
The Asia-Pacific ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, driven by increasing automotive production, rapid electrification of passenger and commercial vehicle fleets, rising disposable incomes, and stricter implementation of road safety regulations.
Some major players running in the market include Autoliv, Joyson Safety Systems, Belt-tech, Bxseatbelts, Coats Group plc, Country Brook Design, Daicel Corporation, Berger GmbH & Co. Holding KG, GOOD SUCCESS CORP., and GWR Safety Systems.
According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Global ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6.42%. The ICE & BEV Seatbelt Material Market is a specialized fabric and webbing type that is engineered to be safe, durable, and comfortable to be used both in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and in the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) market. The materials used to make seatbelts are designed to provide high tensile performance, abrasion resistance, and resistance to flame, as well as passenger safety during crash and impact events. The products available in the market are a diverse range of products, such as polyester webbing, nylon seatbelt fabrics, aramid reinforced products, and bio-based materials that are environmentally friendly to enable them to meet the safety requirements of the automotive industry. Also, market demand is being driven by the increased attention to compliance with safety, crashworthiness, and higher-order restraint systems of passenger and commercial vehicles. In addition, the current trend in adopting modern, efficient, and environmentally sustainable safety solutions is being influenced by the growing interplay between lightweight, sustainable, and recyclable seatbelt materials on both ICE and BEV platforms.

The polyester segment dominated the market and is expected to dominate in the forecast period. This is attributed to its high tensile strength, high abrasion resistance, low stretch under load, and also good UV and heat resistance, making it the most popular material in the manufacture of seatbelts. Polyester webbing is extremely popular with automotive OEMs in both ICE and BEV applications as it provides a balance of durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Its consistency in providing safety to passengers in situations involving crashes and adherence to high standards of international safety have made polyester the preferred choice when it comes to the production of seatbelts. The nylon segment, though relatively smaller, is likely to enjoy gradual adoption, owing to its large impact resistance, flexibility, and soft feel, which offers greater comfort to the passengers.
According to the report, the Asia Pacific held the dominant market share in the ICE & BEC Seatbelt Material Market
The Asia Pacific region is the largest in the world in the automotive seatbelt material, with the high volume of vehicle production, fast urbanization, and growing disposable income that have greatly boosted the number of vehicles per household in the various countries, such as China, India, and Japan. China had the highest market share in the world in the year 2024, and the nation was projected to produce nearly 33.8 percent of the global vehicle production. It is a market leader in the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) sectors. The high demand for compact SUVs in the Asia Pacific markets is led by OEMs like Hyundai, Tata Motors, Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra and Mahindra, MG Motors, and other local manufacturers, with many of the new models including captain seats in the middle rows, each fitted with individual seatbelt retractors to protect the occupants better. Whereas economy models, especially ICE, offer front captain seat retractors or rear bench seat retractors, the increasing popularity of premium vehicles in the Asia Pacific market has led to the introduction of retractors in the rear and even third-row seats to ensure a high level of safety requirements.
