DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ResearchAndMarkets.com has added the "Automotive Lightweight-Global Market Size, Trends, Shares and Forecasts, Update 4th Quarter 2021" report to ResearchAndMarkets.com's products.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the general trend of vehicle lightweighting, the technologies, materials and suppliers involved, and the forecast of material content by 2035.

Due to the increasing impact of passenger and pedestrian safety requirements, as well as the intensity of competition caused by globalization and low-cost economic manufacturing, the automotive industry has been under pressure to change the way it designs and manufactures vehicles.

The pressure from European and North American governments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions has also prompted automakers and their supply bases to develop automotive technologies to meet these stringent emission limits.

As a result, more and more vehicles are adopting components designed to reduce mass, component integration to reduce assembly costs and more efficient recycling. Automakers need to improve the overall fuel economy of vehicles, which has led to a trend to reduce vehicle weight.

The use of high-performance materials (such as high-strength steel and aluminum) is increasing, and heavier traditional materials (such as steel and iron) are being replaced as much as possible.
