Automotive manufacturers prefer using alloy wheels as compared to the metal wheels attributed to features such as heavy weight that could hamper performance of the vehicle. Grip in brakes are lower in the vehicles equipped with metal wheels as compared to the vehicles equipped with alloy wheels.

Rockville, WA -- (SBWire) -- 08/14/2018 --Increasing demand for vehicles equipped with heavy wheels in cold countries has led to an upsurge in demand for metal wheels in the automotive sector. However, metal wheels are subject to rust and corrosion due to changing weather and need to be replaced before deterioration. Such factors are likely to impact growth of the global market of automotive metal wheel negatively. According to a recently published report by Fact.MR, the global automotive metal wheel market is projected to reflect a sluggish CAGR over the projected period, 2017 – 2022.

Factors Fuelling Global Market Growth

Increasing demand for high-speed and light weight vehicles has pulled down demand for metal wheels among automotive manufacturers. Attributed to heavy weight, the vehicles that are equipped with metal wheel have relatively low grip on brakes. Moreover, the vehicles with metal wheels cannot support tires that are tubeless. As metal wheels are subject to rust and corrosion attributed to fluctuating weather, manufacturers prefer using materials such as alloy wheels that are lighter in weight.

Manufacturers based in countries with cold weather witness considerable demand for metal wheels in the automotive sector. Attributed to features such as heavy weight, dampened acceleration and speed, it is easier to drive vehicles equipped with wheels with heavy metal materials as there is lower possibility of skidding. Vehicles equipped with alloy wheels provides relatively fast acceleration and speed, which has more possibility of skidding in snow or hail. Such factors are projected to fuel demand for metal wheels in the automotive industry during the projected period.

Moreover, several automotive companies particularly use metal wheels that are heavy in weight. Due to such factors, the OEM are projected to witness considerable demand. This is projected to contribute towards global market growth of automotive metal wheel during the projected period.
