Automotive Lightweight Materials 2018: Worldwide Market Trends, Drivers and Challenges to 2023 - Analysis by Material Type, Vehicle Type, Application and Region

DUBLIN, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Automotive Lightweight Materials Market Report: Trends, Forecast and Competitive Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The future of the global automotive lightweight materials market looks promising with opportunities in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles.

The global automotive lightweight materials market is expected to reach an estimated $110.5 billion by 2023 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2018 to 2023.

The major drivers of growth for this market are government regulations concerning fuel economy and emissions, and increasing utilization of lightweight materials by manufacturers. The other major driver is growth of global vehicle production which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period and to reach 113 million units by 2023.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the automotive lightweight materials industry, include increasing use of aluminum in chassis and structural applications, advanced manufacturing technology, development of aluminum-air battery, third generation AHSS, and pre-oxidation to galvanize AHSS, development of recycling technologies for plastics and replacement of PA 66 with cheaper and advanced PA 6.

On the basis of its comprehensive research, the researcher forecasts that the AHSS, aluminum and composites material segments will show above average growth during the forecast period.

Passenger car, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicle are the major vehicle segments of the global automotive lightweight materials market. The passenger car segment is expected to show above average growth during the forecast period due to the increasing penetration of lightweight materials per vehicle.

Europe is expected to remain the largest region due to increasing use of lightweight materials content per vehicle coupled with stringent government regulations to reduce carbon emissions and to increase fuel efficiency. Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period because of high vehicle production and continued increase of lightweight materials content per vehicle.
