Geographically, North America held the largest share in the global automotive lightweight materials market in 2015, according to one of the leading market reporting agencies.
On a global scale, the automotive lightweight materials market was estimated
at $77.1 billion in 2015, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.0% during
2016-2022 with North America forecasted to remain buoyant. Among the key drivers
are: increasing numbers of passenger vehicles, advances in technology and changes
in material bases used for manufacturing.
The industry is defined by increasingly intertwined networks of OEMs, technology and
material suppliers. As OEMs keep driving their lightweighting strategies to comply with
global CO2 emission regulations, and fight off ambitious newcomers who threaten to
disrupt the established industry structure, sourcing new reliable partners only becomes
more difficult.
Despite all of the industry’s latest innovations, high costs remain one of the key
stumbling blocks behind lightweight materials’ wider adoption. To help overcome
this issue, the 5th Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Summit, (US edition)
will be returning to Detroit to enable current generation of automotive experts to
cost effectively drive their lightweighting efforts forward. The brand new agenda will
examine the latest advancements in new grades and types of materials, scrutinize
the latest processing and manufacturing technologies through practical case studies
and question the financial and technical feasibility of adopting new materials in high
volume automotive manufacturing in the US.
What’s New For 2016
Successfully securing its place as one of the most sought after lightweighting events
within the automotive industry, the 5th Global Automotive Lightweight Materials
conference is returning to Detroit to help OEMs wade through the increasing variety
and complexity of lightweighting solutions.
The 2016 program will look at brand new topics including lightweighting breakthroughs
within and beyond BIW, mixed material joining & corrosion mitigation, composite
material cost reduction and innovative light-weighting solutions. GALM Detroit 2016
will address issues that continue to plague the automotive community and ensure that
the most promising solutions and materials are given a fair chance of being utilized to
the benefit of the entire industry.
