Yanfeng Automotive Interiors reveals 'Quality of Life' research study and insight into global consumer behavior

Neuss (ots) -

The world leader in automotive interiors discovers perceptual shift
to better understand and address future mobility needs

According to a global research study conducted by Yanfeng
Automotive Interiors (YFAI), quality of life is becoming more valued
over conventional definitions of success all across the globe.
Quality of life is a global mega-trend monitored by YFAI's Strategic
Research team that looks at the persistent human need for peace,
personal interaction, rich experiences, purpose, and good health. As
a leader in the design and development of automotive interiors, YFAI
is looking at the time people spend in their vehicles and how
sharing, ownership, and other quality of life factors influence the
use of that time.

The leading trend study is in response to the growing importance
of automotive interiors as people spend more time in their cars each
day. In the study, 2000 participants were surveyed in China, Germany,
and the United States to understand how consumers define quality of
life in different regions, how this influences their decision-making
process, and how this knowledge can lead to improved future mobility
experiences. The study results reveal that eight quality of life
dimensions rise to the top as key influencers. Three of them -
security, physical well-being, and quality - are nearly universal
across all regions. Although quality of life values change with age,
emotions, connections, and relationships remain important across all
age groups.

"Recognizing Quality of Life as a driver of change and innovation,
it was critical for us to conduct a study around this global mega
trend, as a way to deepen our knowledge and understanding of its
expected impact on consumer preferences of new mobility offerings,"
said Renae Pippel, Director of Strategic Research for Yanfeng
Automotive Interiors.

The ability to design the right vehicles and the right interiors
is not only based on understanding practical functions and features,
but also on targeting and executing the right experience for a
journey's specific length of time. Knowing that a vehicle has only 20
minutes to fulfill its brand, service, or product promise to the
passenger is a different proposition compared to the way that cars
have been traditionally designed, developed, marketed, and sold. YFAI
will use this valuable insight to influence and inform future product
innovations in order to improve future in-car experiences.
