APAC is estimated to contribute 54% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. APAC is the fastest-growing region in the global market owing to the high adoption of automobiles. China, India, South Korea, and Japan are the major countries in the region contributing to the growth of the regional market. The increasing demand for passenger cars in the region is driving the growth of the regional market.
Additionally, the shift in consumer preference from mileage to aesthetics and performance is expected to drive the adoption of lightweight chassis like aluminum-based and carbon fiber-based chassis. Furthermore, the EVs demand these to enhance the battery performance. This will act as a driver for the global market's growth. Therefore, the growing adoption of EVs in the region is expected to boost the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
The market is influenced by factors like volume, vehicle type, and raw material type. Technological advancements drive new product launches and expansions, leading to innovations like modular frame chassis and skateboard chassis. Automakers prioritize safety and environmental friendliness, hence the adoption of materials like aluminum alloy for lighter and eco-friendly electric vehicles. Additionally, advancements in suspension, brakes, and cylindrical motors enhance vehicle performance. With consumer preferences shifting towards lighter and aerodynamic vehicles, manufacturers focus on developing efficient body styles to meet market demands. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Stringent regulations to control emissions is the key factor driving market growth. The emission of harmful greenhouse gases has been increasing at an alarming rate in most countries. As a result, many governments worldwide have shifted their focus on curbing emissions. Fuel economy has become a crucial metric for regulators to push OEMs toward the development of a sustainable future. For instance, regulatory standards about fuel efficiency have led to a surge in the electronic content of modern vehicles, which, in turn, increases the fuel efficiency of vehicles considerably.
Consequently, automotive OEMs are spending a huge amount to comply with these stringent fuel economy standards. They is one of the critical components that automotive OEMs are focusing on, as the adoption of lightweight materials to improve the power-to-weight ratio enhances the fuel economy of vehicles. Developing economies are also adopting stringent regulations, which act as an important driver for the global market during the forecast period.
The development of multi-material chassis construction is the primary trend shaping market growth. The automotive industry is witnessing new ideas related to vehicle weight reduction, primarily as automotive OEMs are facing more pressure from regulators and growing customer demand. Advanced materials like aluminum, carbon fiber, and magnesium are considered more ideal materials for manufacturing than conventional steel, as the former can reduce weight and maintain durability.
For instance, the Audi A8 spaceframe chassis incorporates magnesium, aluminum, and CFRP, along with conventional steel throughout its structure. Aluminum accounts for the largest part of the chassis, with 58%. The company is deploying the right material at the right place rather than one material for the entire chassis. The use of this smart mix technology has enabled significant weight reduction in the model along with product differentiation. Thus, the development of multi-material chassis construction significantly contributes to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The increasing popularity of shared mobility is a challenge that affects market growth. The shared mobility concept includes micro-mobility and car sharing. The increasing popularity of shared mobility declines vehicle sales and decreases vehicle ownership. The rapidly changing consumer preferences, driven by factors such as the need for convenience, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, are resulting in the shift in preference from car ownership toward shared mobility.
Moreover, the advancement of technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence in shared mobility to enhance efficiency, safety, and user experience will drive the demand for shared mobility services, reducing vehicle ownership. Therefore, such factors will impede the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
