Key Trends in the Market

An overhead console is a feature added in vehicles which provides several functions such as a dropdown compartment for storage, lighting device, and integrated microphone, among other sensors. The lights attached to the vehicles provide visibility when entering or exiting the car and they are also used as a reading light.

• One of the major global overhead console market trends is the rising demand for customisation and personalisation of vehicles. In today's automotive landscape, consumers are more interested in getting a tailored experience from their vehicles. This has prompted manufacturers to provide additional overhead consoles that can be customised with a range of finishes, materials, and features.

• The integration of advanced technologies is another factor enhancing the global overhead console market demand. Overhead consoles are no longer limited to basic storage compartments; they now incorporate touchscreens, infotainment controls, ambient lighting, and even wireless charging pads for electronic devices. These features enhance the user experience and bring a touch of modernity to the vehicle's interior.
