Automotive Subframe Market Size

Automotive Subframe Market to surpass USD 4.1 billion by 2032 from USD 2.67 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 3.9% throughout the forecast period 2022-32

Automotive Subframe is a portion in the vehicle’s chassis. This subframe portion is a separate structure within a significantly larger body-on-frame or monocoque shell where the drivetrain, engine, suspension, and steering components are accommodated. A subframe has three basic forms, all of which have different functions. These are mainly the simple axle type, the perimeter frame which supports the engine, and the perimeter frame which supports the engine, full suspension and transmission.The automotive subframe is typically build from welded steel tubing or thick pressed steel panels. The fitting of the subframe depends on the vehicle type, but it is usually welded or bolted. A bolted subframe is fitted with rubber bushings or springs to dampen the vibrations produced while on the road. It can also be hydroformed.

Automotive Subframe Market: Segments

Steel Subframe segment is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during 2022-32

Automotive Subframe Market is classified based on the product into Steel Subframe, Aluminum Alloy Subframe. Steel Subframe accounted for the largest market share and is even anticipated to grow during the forecast period. The automotive steel subframe industry faces numerous challenges including carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Weight reduction in vehicles can help to achieve improved fuel efficiency, creating less impact on the environment. Materials such as metal composites and hot forming steel have immense potential to cut the weights in vehicles and have good tensile strength.

Front Subframe segment is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during 2022-32

Automotive Subframe Market is classified based on the application into Front Subframe, Rear Subframe. Front Subframe accounted for the largest market share and is even anticipated to grow during the forecast period. Its light weight is also a strong driver for the application of aluminum in the front subframe. An excellent example is the BMW double-joint spring-strut front axle which is constructed of aluminum. The use of aluminum leads to a weight reduction of 30% compared to a similar axle made of steel, minimizing the unsprang mass of the vehicle. The application of aluminum delivers immediate results in the responsiveness of the suspension and steering systems.

Market Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Growing Demand for Fuel-Efficient and High-Performance Vehicles

The demand for fuel-efficient and high-performance vehicles is growing among the masses. This is further putting emphasis on lessen the weight of the vehicle, thereby increasing its overall performance. This trend has compelled manufacturers to design new vehicles and chassis or subframes that will result in lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles. Moreover, the other rising concern is the emission of harmful gases from the vehicle. Hence, in order to monitor pollution, manufacturers should design fuel efficient low-emission vehicles, which raises the need to design less-weight chassis.

Innovations and Advancements

The automobile manufacturers are producing chassis systems with innovations and advancements owing to increasing demand for greater performance and premium vehicles. The rising technological advancements and innovations in vehicles are increasing demand for advanced chassis systems or subframes. For instance, AUDI AG manufactured a new car called Audi A6, which has a electric-assist steering and light-weight chassis. Such features can improve the driving experience, which in turn, increase the demand for luxurious vehicles.

Restraint

High cost of automotive subframes systems

Automotive subframe is a major structural part that is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. However, there are instances where the subframe can become damaged or rusted to the point where it can no longer serve its purpose. The global automotive subframes market can be restricted by the cost of automotive subframes systems due to the cost to replace a subframe is quite high. The suppliers in the automotive materials market are under sheer pressure to maintain the costs, along with delivering superior-quality materials to meet the strict quality control and tests defined by the OEMs, and Tier-1 suppliers.

Recent Developments
