According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global automotive AHSS (advanced high strength steel) market looks promising with opportunities in the passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The global automotive AHSS market is expected to reach an estimated $32.3 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 8.1% from 2020 to 2025. The major drivers for this market are increasing vehicle production, reduction in fuel consumption, lower cost of AHSS materials than other lightweight materials, and stringent government regulations regarding CO2 emissions.

In this market, various types of advanced high strength steel, such as dual phase steels, martensitic steels, boron steels, and TRIP (Transformation induced plasticity) steels are used to manufacture various automotive parts. On the basis of our comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that dual phase steel will remain the largest segment. Dual phase steel is most commonly used in the structural applications where it has replaced the conventional high strength low alloy steel (HSLA). Dual phase steel has good potential for part weight reduction. It possesses ...
... good crash energy absorption and the ability to resist fatigue and improved formability.

Within this market, AHSS for passenger cars will remain the largest end use segment and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing production of small, compact, and luxury cars and increasing penetration of AHSS material per car to reduce the carbon emission and to increase fuel efficiency.

Europe will remain the largest region and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the increasing use of lightweight materials content per vehicle coupled with stringent government regulations to reduce the carbon emission.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the introduction of pre-oxidation for galvanizing AHSS and the development of third generation AHSS. ArcelorMittal, ThyssenKrupp, POSCO, SSAB AB, and AK Steel are the major AHSS suppliers in the global automotive AHSS market.
