Key Drivers of Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Market
- The global automotive lightweight materials market is forecasted to expand at a substantial pace over the tenure of assessment, from 2019 to 2027. Such development of the market is ascribed to rise in demand for automotive lightweight materials from the developing countries of Asia Pacific and Latin America.
- The expansion of the global automotive lightweight materials market is likely to be influenced considerably by the augmented stringency of fuel economy and vehicle emission regulations brought in by the government is another growth factor for the market.
- Automotive lightweight vehicle materials refer to those materials that are utilized in the minimization of weight and acceleration of vehicle speed, thereby ensuring fuel efficiency. Use of lightweight materials offers a wide range of benefits such as consumption of fewer materials, improved handling of vehicles, low rate of corrosion, and others.
- In addition, lightweight materials are ideal for construction of vehicle frame. However, fuel efficiency of lightweight materials has come up as an important factor driving the growth of the global automotive lightweight materials market.
Rise in Demand for Electric Vehicles to Boost Opportunities for Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Market
- The penetration of the automobile market in Asia is low compared to that in other regions. The ownership of vehicles per 1,000 people exceeded 105 units for the first time in the region at the end of 2014. However, this is well below the global average of 140 units. The rate of ownership of vehicles stands at 550 per 1,000 people to 600 per 1,000 people in major countries in Europe.
- The light vehicle production sector in Western European focuses primarily on premium cars. Therefore, the volume and range of production are expanding significantly. The production of premium segment cars was 37% of the light vehicle production in Western Europe in 2015. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.
- More than 240 million U.S. trucks and cars consume in excess of 170 billion gallons of fuel each year. The usage of lightweight components and high-efficiency engines in one quarter of the U.S. fleet could save more than 5 billion gallons of fuel each year by 2030.
- Vehicle production in Brazil is increasing at a higher pace compared to domestic sales, as exports to neighboring countries have increased due to strong economic conditions. For example, roughly 66% of exports from Brazil’s auto industry are destined to Argentina and Mexico-countries currently experiencing double-digit rise in sales. As a result, Brazil’s vehicle exports have surged by nearly 20% so far this year, with export growth accelerating in recent months.
