A third of European cars will have leather seats by 2016, report claims

摘要

A recent research-based report entitled Leather in the European Auto Industry 2012, compiled by a specialist London-based business intelligence company, ims Automotive, has concluded that die use of leather in European car seating is poised for "a further significant advance over the next five years to 2016". This comes after strong growth during the past five years, the report says.rnIn 2011 leather seating was fitted to just over 19% of European-produced cars. Taking into account seats with a mix ofrnleather and synthetic materials, the total exceeded 25%. The ims Automotive report says that during the next five years the overall total (leather and mixed leather) will rise to almost 32%.
