The global lightweight materials market accounted for a market revenue of USD 141.2 billion and is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 6.5% over the forecast period. Many automakers are switching towards products that reduce vehicles' weight because of the increased awareness about fuel emissions, which is also expected to drive the global market. In the lightweight materials market, increasing automobile industry and increasing vehicle modernisation are the main driving forces.

Global Lightweight Materials Market 2019-2028

The focus of lightweight materials is to significantly reduce lightweight and heavy-duty weights without compromising other attributes such as cost performance. The use of materials like advanced high-performance steels and aluminium alloys allows vehicle weight reduction. In the long run, weight savings can be further increased by the application of magnesium alloys and carbon fibre composites.

The possibility of component weight reductions by more than 60% is offered by carbon-based enhanced polymer composites, but considerable technical and cost barriers have to be found in the introduction of vehicles. With the lowest density of all structural metals, magnesium (Mg) alloys are able to reduce the weight of components by more than 60%. Significant technical obstacles however limit the use of Mg by weight to about 1% of the average vehicle. In the light metal structural spectrum, aluminium (Al) alloys constitute a midfield. Despite the years of developments in the aerospace, building and automotive industries, alloys and processing systems have become well developed and well-understood

In terms of material the global lightweight materials market is segmented into metal & alloys, composites, and plastics. Metals and alloys is further segmented into high strength steel, aluminium, magnesium, titanium, others. Composites are segmented into carbon fiber reinforced and glass fiber reinforced. Plastic is divided in polycarbonate, polypropylene, and others. Similarly, in terms of application, the market divided into aerospace and defense, automotive, energy sector, electronic and electrical industry, construction industry, and consumer goods.

In terms of geography, the global Lightweight Materials is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. America is the world's leading electric car industry and manufactures some of today's most advanced PEVs. However, Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the global demand of lightweight materials market over the forecast period.
