Global Automotive Lightweight Material Market Forecast to 2027 - Key Manufacturers are BASF, Covestro, LyondellBasell Industries, Toray Industries, and ArcelorMittal

DUBLIN, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Automotive Lightweight Material Market by Material (Metal, Composite, Plastic, Elastomer), Application & Component (Frame, Engine, Exhaust, Transmission, Closure, Interior), Vehicle Type (ICE, Electric & Hybrid), Region - Global Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Automotive Lightweight Material Market is Projected to Grow to USD 157.7 Billion by 2027 from USD 89.1 Billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 7.4% During the Forecast Period

Lightweight materials are used to reduce the weight of the vehicle and, thus, enhance fuel efficiency and decrease emission. The increasing stringency of emission and fuel efficiency regulations in multiple countries has compelled automotive manufacturers to reduce the weight of the vehicle. These regulations have led manufacturers to use advanced materials that are lighter than conventional materials such as steel. Also, these advanced materials have similar strength and other physical properties as steel. These materials include HSS, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, CRFP, and other plastics and elastomers.

The increase in automobile production is the key growth driver for the automotive lightweight material market. Another key factor driving the growth of automotive lightweight materials is the increasing demand for fuel efficiency and better-performing vehicles. In addition, growing environmental concerns have compelled the governments of several countries to enforce stringent emission norms. The use of lightweight materials has helped automotive OEMs to comply with the emission norms.

Upcoming emission regulations in China and India will further boost the demand for lightweight materials in these countries. India implemented BS 4 (Euro 4) standards nationwide in 2017 and is planning to implement BS6 (Euro 6)by 2020. Similarly, China plans to implement China 6 (Euro 6) emission norms after 2020. Also, European countries plan to implement more stringent emission regulations in the coming years.

The demand for lightweight materials is expected to rise due to increased automobile production and enhanced focus on comfort and safety features. Europe is estimated to be the largest market for automotive lightweight materials in 2019, followed by Asia Oceania and North America. China is projected to be the largest market for automotive lightweight material in the Asia Oceania region.

Some of the key manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive lightweight material market are BASF SE (Germany), Covestro AG (Germany), LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V.(Netherlands), Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan), and ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg).
