App Control Turns Reconfiguration Into One Button
Automakers increasingly specify smart configuration control systems that fold an entire cabin layout at the press of a button standard manual mechanisms cannot support, where actuator reliability matters more than the added manufacturing cost smart control integration introduces, with suppliers such as Thule Group expanding smart control production capacity to meet rising specification volume across their growing OEM customer base worldwide. Smart control segment demand grows about 13.72% a year, and gross margins run 26% to 34% across the category. This trend continues accelerating through coming years across most major producing regions and vehicle platforms.
