Market Definition
Automotive Load floors are the flat panels used in the vehicle trunk for transportation of luggage and cargo. Generally, carpet-covered components can be lightweight composite panels with high strength, which is the priority of the load floor, or a simpler aesthetic covering of the load space floor.
Global Automotive Load Floor Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising Demand for Light Weight Products
Manufacturers of automotive load floors are improving their products by decreasing the weight of products though enhancing the load-carrying capability. They are evolving composite materials for the fabrication of automotive load flooring such as timber floors. This material has a high load-bearing capacity and is light in weight. The rising demand for lightweight products is expected to drive the market's growth rate.
- Government Rule and Regulations Due to Environmental Concern
The government's strict rules have been implemented for the reduction of CO2 emissions from automotive vehicles, for instance, Europe and the European Union Commission (EU) have imposed new emission norms to decrease the percentage of carbon emissions from automotive vehicles, which is resulting in increasing the demand for lightweight automotive and also leads to the increased the demand for polypropylene (PP) and composites material due to this increase the demand of automotive load floor in the market.
- Rising Demand for Sliding Load Floors
The demand for sliding load floors in the automotive sector increases due to their unloading of bulky and heavy freight and ease of loading in cars, which in turn are expected to propel the sales in the automotive load floor market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
Opportunity
- Rising Demand for Electric Vehicle
Growing preference for electric vehicles globally in response to increase the carbon emission regulations is propelling the sales of lightweight automotive load floors. Manufacturers are launching zero- emission and hybrid electric vehicles which will expected to create immense opportunities for the growth of the automotive load floor in the forthcoming period.
Furthermore, government incentives such as road toll exemptions are also some major factors encouraging consumers to switch to electric vehicles. This will fuel the sales of lightweight automotive load floors and augment the market's growth.
Restraint/ Challenge
- High cost
The increasing price of automotive load floor in vehicles will limits their large scale manufacturing and consumption. This rising cost of automotive load floor constrains the adoption of this product, a major factor expected to restrict the growth of the automotive load floor market. Also, the automotive load floor market is not a standalone market, it is dependent on the development of the automotive industry which always be affected by the changes in automobile sales.
