Increasing environmental concerns and regulations to reduce CO2 emission from vehicles are anticipated to
drive the global lightweight materials market, especially in the transportation sector. Additionally, reduction of
weight of vehicles enhances their fuel efficiency. This drives demand for lightweight materials in automobile
and aviation sectors. Lightweight materials are used in various applications. For instance, they are used in
aircraft structures for supporting high payload capacity and enhancing energy efficiency. Aluminum, titanium
and composites are key lightweight materials used in aircraft. However, high cost of lightweight materials as
compared to conventional metals such as steel would weigh down the growth of the global lightweight
materials market in the next few years.
Key product segments of lightweight materials include aluminum, titanium, high strength steel, magnesium,
polymer and composites, and others. Aluminum, one of the key lightweight materials, accounted for 30.4% of
the global lightweight materials market in 2013. It is expected to experience substantial growth over the next
few years. Composites such as glass fiber reinforced plastics, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, metal matrix
composites, ceramic composites and other hybrid materials are anticipated to gain importance in the near
future owing to functional benefits over other lightweight materials. These composites are likely to experience
significant growth; however, high cost of these lightweight materials is estimated to hamper market growth
during the forecast period. Titanium, another key lightweight material, is likely to experience significant growth
in the near future, especially in the aviation industry.

Transportation was the largest application segment, constituting more than 85% of demand for lightweight
materials in 2013. Transportation primarily includes automobiles, aircraft and railways. Lightweight materials
are increasingly used in the manufacture of vehicles to enhance payloads, improve fuel efficiency and reduce
CO2 emissions. Other key application sectors include defense and energy. Lightweight materials are employed
on a large-scale in defense, especially in vehicles, body armors and other applications. Furthermore,
lightweight materials are used in wind energy systems, specifically in rotor blades. This application is projected
to be the fastest growing segment in terms of volume, expanding at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2014 to 2020.
Asia Pacific dominated the global lightweight materials market with more than 40% share in 2013.
Transportation industry in the region is likely to be a key driver for the lightweight materials market. Asia Pacific
was followed by Europe, where transportation sector dominated the lightweight materials market in 2013.
Regulations by the European Union (EU) are anticipated to compel automobile manufacturers to use
lightweight materials in vehicles. North America and Rest of the World followed Europe with a combined share
of almost 30% in 2013.
