In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Engineering, heads of Seating Systems R&D, directors of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, seat control module producers, and automakers were examples of supply-side sources. Procurement heads from automakers, seating system integrators, fleet managers, automotive design engineers, and quality assurance managers from passenger car, commercial vehicle, and electric vehicle manufacturing facilities were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on supply chain dynamics, OEM pricing strategies, and technology adoption trends, primary research verified product pipeline timings and validated market segmentation.
