The increasing demand of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) due to the increase in global automotive production will drive the growth of the industry.

The need to improve acceleration and the soft break system particularly in the sports car has supported the penetration of the product. Superior strength, low weight and improved visual appeal are the key properties that stimulate the demand for high performance wheels.

The product has been able to penetrate the market by virtue of better wheel designs, improved aerodynamics, and superior material quality. The optimal dimensions of the wheel rim are perfect to ensure better airflow and improve the soft brake system. Moreover, the use of high quality material like carbon fiber brings about fuel efficiency, weight reduction, and better handling. Costly raw material and production process are few restraints for this industry growth.

Material Takeaway

On the basis of material, the market is divided into aluminium, steel, carbon fiber, and magnesium. Aluminium market is project to enjoy a sky-rocket growth till 2028. Credit of this growth goes to favourable aluminium properties like low density, lightness, corrosion resistance, and malleability. In addition, appealing appearance of this material has given it the desired boost. Carbon fiber will also pick up the pace because of its strength and light weight. With a focus on lightweight materials especially in the manufacturing of sports and formula cars will bring the boom in carbon fiber material.

Vehicle Takeaway

On the basis of vehicle, the market is segmented into Sedan and SUV. Among these two, Sedan has captured the market by taking highest revenue. Change in living standard and demand of luxury vehicles will propel this market in near future. The rise in the demand for luxury vehicles along with technological advancements in the models of contemporary vehicles will facilitate the rise in industry demand. Changing trends in lifestyle and vehicle style along with shifting preference for safety and comfort will provide impetus to the product development.

Regional Takeaway
