The research study provides complete assessment of the market on the basis of competition, drivers, restraints, opportunities, trends, and industry-authenticated data.

Market Insights

The increased fuel economy and emission regulation is anticipated to augment the growth of the market. Most of the OEMs have increased the use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and composites in order to reduce fuel consumption since they consume low energy during acceleration. The proper selection of design, material, manufacturing, and assembly will result in required light weighting. Aluminum is considered as one of the most efficient lightweight materials in the automotive industry and is manufactured by forming techniques; this inclination of weight reduction will drive the Automotive Metal Forming market.

The rising sale of electric and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) market is expected to augment the growth of the automotive metal forming market. This is owing to the rising concerns of global warming and air pollution and government support to reduce air pollution are driving the BEV market. Furthermore, better fuel efficiency, increased driving range, and lower greenhouse gas emissions are driving the growth of the HEV market.

The increasing usage of composites in automotive industry is expected to limit the growth of the automotive metal forming market. In the regions like US, the automotive industry is focusing to replace some metal-formed components with composite material and plastics in order to reduce weight. Furthermore, OEMs are also adopting new materials to decrease the overall vehicle weight to comply with government regulations.
