Market CAGR for the automotive metal market is due to the rising demand for personal vehicles to travel long distances from homes, offices, educational institutions, and shopping centers worldwide. Everyone wants their vehicles to travel, whether they are students or elders.
Additionally, governments in several nations are taking steps to improve the capacity for automobile manufacturing. To reduce carbon footprints, they also emphasize using environment-friendly materials. Moreover, the industry is positively impacted by the increasing use of lightweight materials in producing automotive parts, body structures, and power trains. These materials include aluminum and magnesium. These two materials used in the automobile sector are expanding the fastest growth. In part due to the increased emphasis on sports vehicles and auto racing, the market is anticipated to experience favorable development during the coming years.
Manufacturers have put a lot of effort into figuring out how to create cheaper steel grades, and a lighter steel grade is AHSS (Advanced High-Strengthen Steel). AHSS has made up around 60% of the body structure of motor vehicles, making them lighter and more fuel-efficient thanks to optimized vehicle design. This lowers emissions of greenhouse gases from moving automobiles. Steel also has excellent recyclable qualities. The need for steel in the production of automotive vehicles is anticipated to rise as a result of regulations regulating the end of the life of vehicles in nations like India, Japan, and South Korea. As a result, it is anticipated that demand for the automotive metal market will increase throughout the projection period due to the rising demand for automobiles. Thus driving the Automotive Metals market revenue.
The Automotive Metals Market segmentation, based on breakup by product, includes aluminum, steel, and magnesium. The steel segment dominated the market, accounting for the maximum market revenue. Steel's reasonableness and superior attributes will favorably impact the automobile sector. Compared to other metals, steel has a high rate of recycling. The ELV regulations in Europe, Japan, and South Korea will promote steel usage in the upcoming years. In developing economies, category growth is driven by an expanding overweight population and increased consumer knowledge of low-calorie beverages.
The Automotive Metals Market segmentation, based on breakup by application, includes body structure, power train, suspension, and others. The body structure category generated the most income due to its low cost of ownership, high degree of recyclable nature compared to plastics and composites, and ease of maintenance and repair; vehicle body structure goods are becoming increasingly in demand. Many manufacturers are switching to lighter materials like aluminum and magnesium to reduce care weight.
The Market segmentation, based on breakup by the end user, includes passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. The passenger cars generated the most income due to the increase in demand for passenger automobiles in APAC and North America. The willingness of consumers to purchase more durable and high-quality has increased. Manufacturers are attempting to create new products with premium features and affordable rates. The need for metals in passenger car segments will probably increase due to these causes.
The need for cars is expected to increase due to government attempts to improve the road infrastructure, including expanding highways and regulating traffic. The need for automotive metals will consequently increase during the projection period.

Manufacturing locally to minimize operational costs is one of the key business tactics used by manufacturers in the global Automotive Metals industry to benefit clients and increase the market sector. In recent years, the Automotive Metals industry has offered some of the most significant advantages to automotive metal market. Major players in the Automotive Metals market, including Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, ArcelorMittal S.A., JSW Steel Ltd, Nippon Steel Corporation, Noveils Inc. (Hindalco Industries Limited), Nucor Corporation, POCSO, Tata Steel Ltd, Thyssenkrupp AG, United States Steel Corportaion and Voestalpine AG, and others, are attempting to increase market demand by investing in research and development operations.
Nippon Steel was established by merging two big companies, Yawata Iron & Steel and Fuji Iron & Steel. However, the business started reducing production in 1981, leading to a significant profit drop for that fiscal year. When forced to shut down furnaces, the company displayed a typical Japanese economic aversion to layoffs, choosing instead to offer both traditional early retirement inducements and less traditional plans like a mushroom cultivation venture that used the excess heat produced by steel furnaces to temperature control a fecund fungi complex. Nippon Steel Corporation is one of the largest manufacturing facilities in Japan and at least 15 other nations. The Nippon Steel Group does business in four sectors: engineering and construction, chemicals and materials, system solutions, and steelmaking and fabrication, commencing with its core business. The company engages in these businesses based on the four pillars outlined in its medium-to long-term management plan. The company will seek cutting-edge manufacturing technologies to be the "best steelmaker with leading capabilities." In September 2023, Nippon Steel Corporation (Nippon Steel) will use its low CO2 steel product, "NSCarbolex TM Neutral"*1, on the Dutch geothermal project "85 Degrees Renewables Bleiswijk." The geothermal well will be developed and run by the project's owner, 85 Degrees Renewables (85 Degrees), with assistance from ITECO Oilfield Supply France SAS (ITECO).
Novelis utilizes its global production and recycling presence to supply consistent, high-quality products worldwide by operating an integrated network of technologically cutting-edge rolling and recycling facilities across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Novelis business operations are fundamentally committed to sustainability, and this commitment extends to how the company collaborates with stakeholders along the aluminum value chain. To help its clients reach their sustainability goals and give consumers the eco-friendly products they want, the company sees enormous prospects in extending the usage of lightweight, infinitely recyclable aluminum. In May 2023, Novelis Inc., a top supplier of environmentally friendly aluminum products and a global pioneer in aluminum recycling, today announced the opening of its brand-new roll-forming development line. Novelis will be able to satisfy Automotive Metals market demand for a method that can generate significant quantities of high-strength aluminum auto parts with the aid of the new development line.
July 2023: The inaugural XCarb TM Accelerator Program's winner, CHAR Technologies, will receive a $5 million investment from ArcelorMittal's XCarb TM Innovation Fund. The program looks for the top businesses and cutting-edge innovations with the potential to speed up the decarbonization of the steel sector.
September 2022: Magna continues to deliver important innovations that address trends towards vehicle accessibility even as the mobility transformation is underway.
