Automotive lightweight materials are used in the making automobiles to reducing the weight and thus to increase the speed and fuel efficiency of a vehicle. These lightweight materials help to control fuel consumption as well as carbon footprint and thus save the environmental impact, in turn. Moreover, these lightweight materials also allow designers to implement innovative and sturdy designs.

Resultantly, these materials witness a vast uptake and demand in automotive manufacturing, which drives its market of these materials, predominantly. Increased fuel efficiency achieved by the use of lightweight materials is a key driving force escalating the market, globally.

Considering the exponential accruals, the market is garnering currently, Market Research Future (MRFR) in its recently published study analysis asserts that the global automotive lightweight material market is poised to witness significant growth by 2022, registering a considerable CAGR throughout the forecast period (2016 to 2022).

Improving economic conditions, worldwide that are enhancing consumers' purchasing power is impacting the growth of the market, increasing sales in the automotive market. Additionally, factors such as the stringent government regulations pertaining to the vehicular emissions are increasing the size of the market by encouraging automotive companies to switch their preferences from lightweight materials.

On the other hand, these lightweight materials are slightly expensive and hence are produced in lower volume, which limits the growth of its market, restricting its applications to low-volume. Also, fluctuating prices alongside the demand and supply gap in the raw materials required for the production obstructs the growth of the automotive lightweight material market. However, factors such as the continually augmenting demand for composites that can control the emission and weight a vehicle and the high demand for improved vehicular designs are expected to support market growth over the assessment period. Besides, technological advancements expected to be transpired soon are likely to present economical manufacturing processes reducing the selling cost of these lightweight materials.
