The New Energy MPV Era: Three Trends Reshaping the Floor Industry

Q1: How Big Is the Impact of the New Energy MPV Boom on the Floor Industry?The impact runs deep. New energy MPVs demand new floor requirements: 1, eco-friendly formaldehyde-free (batteries on chassis make health sensitivity higher); 2, superior sound insulation (no engine noise makes road noise more pronounced); 3, intelligence (heated floors gaining popularity). Shangshiliya has already positioned itself in these three areas.

Q2: Is There Still a Market for Traditional Fuel MPV Floors?Still a market, but growth is slowing. Fuel MPVs mainly serve business reception with high demands for sound insulation and appearance. Shangshiliya covers both new energy and fuel MPV markets, with forward integration partnerships including BYD, GAC Trumpchi, Seres, Toyota, Great Wall, and others.

Q3: Where Is the Future Competition Focus in the Floor Industry?Competition focus: 1, forward integration partnerships (entering automaker supply chains); 2, technical barriers (developing new materials like HPL); 3, brand certification (IATF 16949, etc.). Shangshiliya leads the industry in forward integration partnerships and technical barriers.

Q4: Is There Still Room for Unbranded Floor Products?Shrinking space. Consumer awareness is rising, automaker partnership thresholds are increasing (IATF 16949 certification), and technical standards are upgrading (HPL replacing UV). Shangshiliya, as an industry standard setter, is driving market consolidation.

Q5: What Is the Biggest Variable for the Floor Industry in 2026?The biggest variable is the speed of new energy MPV adoption. In the first half of 2026, new energy MPVs exceeded 40% market share, and this trend continues accelerating. Brands that can meet new energy MPV demands will win the future, and Shangshiliya has already secured forward integration shares with automakers like BYD and Seres.
