The Automotive Lightweight Material Market is enduring an exacting period with its robust growth coming to an abrupt halt in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. MRFR report on the Automotive Lightweight Material Market highlights the future prediction and the growth alternatives that can be created.
Market Scope
Market Research Future (MRFR) expects that the emergence of stringent government regulations pertaining to CO2 emissions can assist the automotive lightweight material market 2020 in gaining significant grounds between 2018 and 2022 (evaluation period).

COVID-19 Analysis
The novel coronavirus has disrupted almost every industry across the globe, including the automotive sector. The short term impact has led to shutting down of various manufacturing units due to the lockdown imposed by governments across countries. Production units are observing lack of labor owing to social distancing practice induced by the pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 has also resulted in showrooms being shut down, besides a drop in vehicle sales. The automotive industry is grappling with the aftereffects of the COVID-19 outbreak, issues such financial crisis combined with the weakening of the supply chain networks around the world.
With that said, the automotive lightweight material market can expect some relief on account of the mitigation measures that are being taken by various government bodies across regions. For instance, the European Union is lending support to the automotive sector with the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program, which helps companies buy commercial papers as well as sovereign bonds from commercial vendors along with member states while keeping their liquidity intact within the financial system. Moving ahead, EU has also relaxed its stringent regulations pertaining to the automotive sector and is willing to expand the size of any asset purchase for extended period.
With the introduction of contingency schemes and financial institutions increasingly coming up with relief plans, the automotive lightweight material market is anticipated to make a solid comeback despite the COVID-19 impact.
