The global body in white market for automotive is projected to grow at a CAGR 1.59% rate from 2021 to 2026. Increasing global vehicle production of passenger cars, electric vehicles, light commercial vehicles and medium & heavy commercial vehicles along with a reduction in the vehicle weight to meet the fuel economy and emission standards are expected to boost the market. However, the high cost of manufacturing methods is considered as a restraining factor for the growth in the market.
Electric vehicles sales segment is estimated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. Increasing electric vehicle sales is another driver for the BIW revenue growth, as these vehicles require lightweight solutions in the form of material as well as manufacturing methods to achieve higher mileage by the battery. Majority of the BIW component manufacturers have introduced new lightweight solutions for their customers, which are in line with the electric vehicles manufacturing safety standards.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period. This market has witnessed rapid year-on-year growth, even with a slowdown in the production of passenger cars; however, the other vehicle segments have been steadily growing, and there is no adverse impact on the market revenue with the increase in the adoption of lightweight solutions.
Europe is estimated to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Germany is expected to lead the market due to the presence of large automakers and focus on R&D on new technology. The massive sales of electric vehicles in the region coupled with the projected boost in sales due to the presence of supporting regulations towards the manufacture and use of these automobiles is expected to subsequently drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
