Automotive trims are the plastic components installed in the vehicle to provide a better look and features to the vehicle. Numerous components such as front & rear bumpers, dashboards, and similar others installed in a vehicle describe different trims, which have a wider application in a vehicle. The automotive trims market has witnessed significant growth over the years, owing to increase in trend vehicles, which are equipped with light weight components to increase the efficiency of the vehicles. The automotive trims market is segmented into material type, interior application, exterior application, vehicle type, end use, and region. By material type, the market is categorized into acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP), polyoxymethylene (POM), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and others. By interior application, it is classified into dashboards, door panels, and several other components. By exterior component, it is divided into bumpers, window & door seals, and others. ICE passenger vehicle, ICE commercial vehicle, battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) are the different types of vehicles studied in the global market. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket are the different end users of the automotive trims. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The report incorporates the study of the automotive tire that focuses on the seasonal tires, rim size used by each vehicles, and the channel through which the tires are operated in the business. A rubber tire is a component fitted around the rim of a wheel to transfer the load of a vehicle from the axle to the ground. Majority of the tires are pneumatically inflated to offer a flexible cushion with shock absorption when the tire travels over a rough surface. Moreover, automobile manufacturers are inclining toward electric and alternative fuel vehicles due to implementation of vehicle emission regulations. The rise in production of commercial and passenger cars along with the new advanced technology creates a demand for the tire business globally. For instance, Bridgestone came up with new innovative tires “Ecopia EP500 ologic”. These tires are based on “Ologic technology” which uses synergies of large diameter in conjunction with smaller width. Furthermore, this solution improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance and environmental impacts. In addition, the Continental started offering different categorized tire as their product such as winter, all seasoned and summer to boost the sales of tire in the global market.

With increasingly stringent environmental concerns, governments and environment agencies across the world have been continually working toward reducing exhaust emissions. They have also been focusing on improving fuel economy, which, in turn, is expected to aid in reducing exhaust emissions. As a result, automobile manufacturers have been working toward reducing the overall weight of vehicles, as it can ensure prominent reduction in CO2 emissions. Weight reduction of 10 kg is estimated to save 1 g of CO2 emission per kilometer. In this regard, the focus on the adoption of subsystems, like EPS, has increased, as the incorporation of the EPS results in significant weight savings. In EPS, an electric steering system replaces the hydraulic piston and pump with an electric motor. The motor draws electricity from the battery, only when the vehicle is turning. There is no power loss in such systems, which decreases the fuel consumption of the vehicle. In addition, the aforementioned developments aid in weight reduction, in turn resulting in fuel efficiency of up to 3% and less carbon emissions. When compared to the hydraulic power steering systems, increased fuel efficiency is one of the most deserving advantages of the EPS systems. Furthermore, the automotive industr y’s paradigm shift toward electric mobility is projected to shift the focus of the manufacturers toward electric vehicle (EV) production, over the coming years.
