Growth Boosters and Key Restraints

Advanced high strength steels or AHSS is one of the most significant materials that are used to produce future mobility services. AHSS is a special blend of mechanical and material properties. These are treated in order to enhance its internal structure as well as quality to elevate the ductility, fatigue, strength and toughness. These are the appealing properties that have boosted the demand for AHSS across various industries.

The expansion of the automotive AHSS market in the coming years will be quite rapid, on account of the surge in vehicle production, rising government norms and regulations aimed at restricting CO2 emissions, enhancing vehicle safety and bring down the cost of AHSS materials compared to lightweight materials that are available in the market.

Moreover, the continuously ongoing technological innovations, inside as well as outside the vehicle are also benefitting the market. The advancements in forming technologies like electromagnetic metal forming and hydroforming in the structural sheet metal industry can also lead the automotive AHSS market to a much higher position in the ensuing period. More and more OEMs as well as automotive part manufacturers are working on elevating the fuel economy, safety and quality by reducing the costs of manufacturing, which has a positive effect on the market.
