According to The Business Research Company’s Automotive Lightweight Materials Global Market Report 2024, The automotive lightweight materials market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $111.13 billion in 2023 to $121.87 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in material science, regulatory emission standards, consumer preference for performance, cost and manufacturing advancements, globalization and market competition.

The automotive lightweight materials market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $170.71 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, urbanization and compact vehicle designs, global expansion of automotive production, shift towards autonomous vehicles, growing focus on electric mobility solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for fuel efficiency, advancements in material technology, electric vehicle adoption, emission reduction requirements, focus on performance and safety.

The surge production of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive lightweight materials market over the coming years. Electric vehicles are automobiles that are powered entirely or partially by electricity. Electric vehicles have minimal operating expenses since they have fewer moving parts to maintain, and they are also very eco-friendly because they consume little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel). Lightweight materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic is used in modern electric vehicles, allowing them to run purely on electricity and avoid being classified as hybrids. For instance, in April 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, electric car sales accounted for 14% of all new cars sold globally in 2022, a considerable rise from 9% in 2021. Over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 25% increase from the same period last year. Additionally, it is projected that 14 million electric cars will be sold by the end of 2023, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. Therefore, the increasing production of electric vehicles drives the growth of the automotive lightweight materials market.

Major companies operating in the automotive lightweight materials market are increasing their focus on introducing large-scale magnesium injection molding to gain a competitive edge in the market. Large-scale injection molding refers to the industrial process of injecting molten material, commonly plastic or metal, into a mold or cavity at high pressure and volume to produce many identical parts or products. For instance, in July 2022, Haitian Die Casting, a China-based die-casting company, launched the HMG3000, a large-scale magnesium injection molding machine. The machine features a clamping force of up to 30,000 kN and a maximum screw speed of 800 mm/s. The launch of HMG3000 is expected to accelerate the application of magnesium alloys in automotive light weighting.
