The global Automotive Lightweight Material market expected to drive growth during the forecast period. The production of different components and parts for the automotive industry has historically used a variety of manufacturing techniques. Traditional manufacturing techniques are being replaced with advanced manufacturing technologies as demand for vehicles with cutting-edge designs and features rises. These technologies range from micro-injection molding to resin transfer molding to additive manufacturing. The ability to produce new materials that are comparatively light in weight and stronger was the main benefit of implementing such advanced manufacturing techniques.
The global Automotive Lightweight Material market expected to hinder growth during the forecast period. Automotive lightweighting has been greatly facilitated by mixed material design, which involves creating parts and components from two different materials. However, it can be challenging to fully utilize the benefits of the MMD due to the challenges involved in welding or joining two dissimilar materials. This is primarily due to the physical characteristics, densities, and welding temperatures of various materials. The strength and structural integrity of the parts depend on the proper joining of these two materials. If the joining of any crucial components fails, it poses a serious safety risk.
The global demand for sustainable mobility and tightening emission regulations are the main causes of the electrification trend that is growing in the automotive industry. Compared to ICE vehicles, electric vehicles are generally more efficient. The battery range has evolved into one of the main purchasing factors for consumers, along with the growth in electric vehicle sales. But one of the biggest expenses related to making an EV is the price of the battery. With a weight of between 30 and 40 percent of the curb weight of the vehicle, the batteries are also one of the heaviest parts of an EV. The demand for vehicles with longer ranges makes it impossible to incorporate larger batteries because doing so would increase the cost and weight of the vehicles and reduce their usable space. Additionally, these factors influence the OEMs' preference for automotive lightweight in electric vehicles, which results in a battery range that is comparatively longer for a given battery capacity.
The global Automotive Lightweight Material market expected to hamper growth during the forecast period. Advanced lightweight materials are more expensive to manufacture into automotive parts than traditional materials. For instance, aluminum costs about three times as much as steel, and World AutoSteel estimates that the cost of producing an automobile increases by 60% when materials like aluminum are used. In a similar vein, manufacturing components out of metals like titanium and magnesium is more expensive than using aluminum. Moreover, the automakers are restricting the use of such lightweight materials in entry-level and mid-range passenger and commercial vehicles due to these factors.
Due to travel restrictions, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global market for automotive lightweight materials. In 2020, the market participants' financial performance is predicted to decline as a result. Because of this, contributors to the economy as well as market participants are creating strategic cost-cutting plans. The execution of the supply chain, regulatory and policy changes, reliance on labor, working capital management, and liquidity and solvency management are the main risk factors for market participants in automotive lightweight materials. Due to commuter restrictions, a lack of laborers, and a shortage of raw materials caused by supply chain disruption, the majority of manufacturing facilities for automotive lightweight materials have been closed during the pandemic.
