Global Automotive Wheel Market (2023 to 2028)

The global automotive wheel market is expected to be valued at USD 45.09 billion in 2023, is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 59.63 billion by 2028 and is predicted to register a CAGR of 5.75% from 2023 to 2028.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The increasing demand for lightweight materials, rising production of vehicles, and improvisation of vehicle dynamics are the primary factors that drive the global automotive wheel market in the near future. Automotive wheels are made with the help of a mold. The mold comprises molten metal. Therefore, as the metal cools, the wheel becomes solid and rigid. Automotive wheels are made up of various casting processes, including low-pressure casting and gravity casting. The different types of automotive wheels include steel wheels, alloy wheels, split-rim wheels, and forged and cast wheels. The most commonly used in the market are alloy wheels. These are considered more expensive than steel wheels due to the lighter and fuel economy of the vehicle. These were manufactured in various designs. Therefore, steel wheels are more cost-efficient compared to other wheels. In addition, steel wheels can stand up in the worst climatic conditions. These are some of the characteristics of wheels that boost the growth of the global automotive market. 

The increasing production of vehicles, rising prices of raw materials, and growing adoption of carbon fiber in the automotive industry are the major drivers that fuel the global automotive wheel market growth during the forecast period. The manufacturers of developing economies, including China, Japan, and India, adapt to the regional and segment supply and demand patterns. Furthermore, the increasing population, along with rising urbanization, boosts the demand for vehicles among consumers globally. In recent years, the need for various materials has been attributed to the steady growth leading to the increasing raw materials prices. In addition, many industries have adopted carbon fiber since it possesses less weight and high stiffness. These factors play a crucial role in holding the most prominent global automotive wheel market revenue. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The fluctuation in raw materials prices and lack of standardization play a predominant role in slowing down the growth of the global automotive wheel market. The supply of raw materials that produce the automotive component, including aluminum, steel, magnesium, and others, keeps fluctuating owing to the excess utilization of raw materials in the automotive wheel firms. Moreover, the weight of automobiles gradually increases the vehicle's fuel consumption, which majorly hampers the growth of the global automotive wheel market. The massive, unorganized aftermarket for wheels, engineering barriers, and maintaining a balance among performance, cost, and weight are the prominent factors that push back the growth and revenue of the global automotive wheel market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global automotive wheel market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated many lives and the industrial sector across the globe. It made the government impose a worldwide lockdown and made many of the firms shut down. COVID-19 has changed people's norms, like maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask, and frequent sanitization. Coming to the industrial sector, the automotive industry was negatively impacted during the crisis. It has faced several supply chain disruptions due to the imposition of lockdowns across the globe. However, the market is anticipated to recover and rise with profits amid COVID.

This market research report on the global automotive wheel market is segmented and sub-segmented into the following categories.

Global Automotive Wheel Market – By Rim Size:

  • 13-15
  • 16-18
  • 19-21
  • 21>inch

Global Automotive Wheel Market - By Vehicle Type:

  • Commercial vehicle
  • Passenger Vehicle

Depending on vehicle type, the global automotive wheel market is categorized into commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. Besides commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles play the dominant role in the global automotive wheel market and are yet to continue their dominance during the forecast period. Most mid-version and premium passenger vehicles, which provide comfort and convenience, utilize alloy wheels. On the other hand, the rising demand for luxury vehicles, the growing purchasing power of consumers, and the increasing demand for safety features and comfort in vehicles tend the passenger vehicles segment to hold the largest share, thus driving the global automotive wheel market in the near future.

Global Automotive Wheel Market - By Material Type:

  • Alloy
  • Carbon Fibre
  • Steel

The global automotive wheel market is segmented into alloy, carbon fiber, and steel based on material type. The alloy wheel segment holds the largest market due to the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles and improved vehicle dynamics with lightweight alloy wheels. On the other hand, carbon fiber is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment during 2022 - 2027 due to the rising demand for vehicles with high performance and technological innovations in material composition.

Global Automotive Wheel Market – By Vehicle Class:
