Global Lightweight Materials Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Product(Aluminum, High Strength Steel), By Application(Automotive, Aviation) - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Global Lightweight Materials Market size was valued at USD 189.28 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 206.50 billion in 2023 to USD 414.50 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.10% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The global market for lightweight materials by application type has had rapid expansion in recent years, and it is anticipated that this growth will continue in the years to come due to emission reduction requirements. The automotive sector, accounted for more than 89% of the market's total volume, is where these materials see the most demand. This industry consumes a lot of lightweight materials, which boosts the demand for those materials. The demand from the aviation sector, which accounts for more than 5% of all market demand, comes in second. The incorporation of more advanced safety features, integrated electrical systems, and emission control systems without increasing the overall weight of the vehicle and improving performance is made possible by the use of light-weight structural materials. Powertrain systems use high temperature metal titanium to save weight by up to 54.9%. It has a good strength to weight ratio and can withstand very high temperatures. Advanced high strength steel has the ability to reduce component weight by up to 25% when utilised in strength-limited designs like pillars and door rings. The growing automotive industry and increasing levels of vehicle modernization are the main factors driving the market for lightweight materials. Government regulations on efficiency, traffic safety, and car safety have aided the industry's growth. In projects involving windmills, the usage of lightweight materials is growing, and lightweight parts are being employed more frequently.

US Lightweight Materials Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
