Cross Car Beam Market

Global Cross Car Beam Market - Introduction

• Cross car beam is integrated under the dashboard of the vehicle and mounted with vehicle frame that provides stability and safety to the vehicle. It supports all the components installed on the instrument panel and minimizes the effect of impact on the vehicle as well its occupants. Moreover, it is highly effective in preventing damage in case of a side impact.
• Market for cross car beam is likely to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast period, as it is incorporated in all vehicles in order to enhance the safety of occupants
• Demand for cross car beam depends on vehicle production, as it is fitted in almost all vehicles. Furthermore, rising concerns about safety among society and automakers has led to the development of cross car beam in vehicles.

Global Cross Car Beam Market – Drivers

• Rising production of vehicles is a key factor driving the global cross car beam market
• Increasing speed limits and development of high speed vehicles are further driving the demand for high strength composites in order to develop cross car beam, thereby driving the market for cross car beam
• Rising integration of safety components, such as airbag and other intelligent technologies such as ADAS system, is propelling the cross car beam market
• High emphasis on the adoption of electric vehicles is likely is drive the production of vehicles and demand for light weight components for electric vehicles. This, in turn, is anticipated to propel the cross car beam market.
• Among developing countries, rise in per capita income has boosted the purchase power parity of society, which in turn is propelling the demand for vehicles
• Automotive manufacturers are heavily focused on the development of lightweight vehicles by integrating components made of composite material, which is expected to be the trending material to manufacture cross car beams.

Global Cross Car Beam Market – Opportunities

• Demand for lightweight vehicles is rising across the globe, thus development and integration of ultra-lightweight cross car beam can play a significant role in vehicle lightweighting. Major players such as Faurecia SA are emphasizing on the development of cross car beams that are made of glass fiber and carbon fiber. 

Market in Asia Pacific to expand significantly during forecast period

• Asia Pacific is anticipated to be a key market for cross car beam owing to expansion of the manufacturing sector in the region. China, India, and Japan are major emerging markets for the manufacturing of cross car beam. All major manufacturers have established manufacturing center and development centers in the region, which in turn is anticipated to propel the cross car beam market in the region.
