Automotive Carbon Wheels Market Global Scenario, Market Size, Outlook, Trend, and Forecast, 2020 – 2030

The global automotive carbon wheels market was valued at US$ 126.03 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 267.46 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2021 – 2030.

Wheels are circular components that are fixed on any vehicle and they rotate on an axle making movement or transportation easier. These are made of aluminum, steel, magnesium, carbon fiber, or a combination of all these compounds. Automotive carbon wheels are specialized and advanced wheels that are manufactured using carbon fiber and resin. Carbon fibers can be molded into any shape even such shapes that cannot be built with traditional methods. These wheels are more convenient, light in weight, highly durable, long-lasting, and show immense strength. Automotive wheels have several advantages over conventional wheels such as self-vibration damping, high fatigue failure strength, better road grip, better heat resistance, and provide very high durability. Automotive Carbon wheels are also very efficient in improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions thereby driving the global automotive carbon wheels market.

Market Dynamics

Hike in the demand and sale of motorsports cars, rising disposable incomes, increasing expenditure in the automotive sector, stringent government policies to curb out the pollution, improved vehicle performance, growing demand for luxury vehicles, hike in the demand of passenger vehicles, and improved aerodynamics are the major reasons boosting the global automotive carbon wheels market. At present, most of the carbon fiber automotive parts are used in high-end sports cars and European supercars. Parts of the vehicle such as wheels, body components, and rims, and interior finishes use carbon fiber for better performance and design. However, the high costs attributed to the carbon fibers and low abundance & availability restrict the market growth especially in developing regions. Additionally, the rising demand for luxurious cars, extraordinary comfort, and noise-free cabins in cars such as BMW, Volvo, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Audi, and others are highly driving the global market growth.
