This report, from Stratview Research, studies the global composite leaf springs market in the automotive industry over the period 2010 to 2021. The report provides detailed insights on the market dynamics to enable informed business decision making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.

The Global Composite Leaf Springs Market in the Automotive Industry: Highlights

Composite leaf springs offer several benefits over steel leaf springs, such as high durability, greater flexibility, better vibration energy absorption, and fatigue resistance. Composite leaf spring is about five times more durable than similar sized steel leaf springs. The biggest advantage of composite leaf springs is significant weight savings; it is about 1/7th the weight of a steel leaf spring. Composite leaf springs are not new to the automotive industry. Chevrolet Corvette has been using composite leaf springs at both front and rear locations in the transverse position since 1981.

The global composite leaf spring is a niche market but possesses significant growth potential during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. It is forecasted to grow at an attractive CAGR of 9.3% over the next five years to reach $65.0 million in 2021. Increasing demand of lightweight leaf springs to achieve stringent government regulations of many countries, such as CAF? Standards, would be the major growth driver of the composite leaf springs in the automotive industry during the forecast period.

The global automotive composite leaf springs market is segmented on the basis of vehicle type (Passenger Car, Light Commercial vehicle, Medium & heavy Duty Commercial vehicle, and Others). Light commercial vehicle (LCV) is the expected to remain the growth engine of the global composite leaf springs market during the forecast period. Pick-up, van, and SUV are the major LCV types that are using composite leaf springs either on transversal or longitudinal position depending on requirement, vehicle design type, etc. All major OEMs are evaluating the use of composite leaf springs in their major pick-ups, vans, and SUVs.

There are two type of installation for composites leaf springs in a vehicle; transversal and longitudinal. Transversal is the most common installation type for composite leaf springs in the automotive industry. Currently, all major auto models using composite leaf springs, such as Chevrolet Corvette, are using it on transversal-mounted positon. There is very limited use of composite leaf springs on the longitudinal position.

Compression molding is expected to remain the most dominant manufacturing process in the global automotive composite leaf springs market during the forecast period. High Pressure-Resin Transfer Molding (HP-RTM) is likely to experience the fastest growth for the same period, driven by shorter parts cycle time.

Europe is expected to remain the largest market for composite leaf springs over the next five years, driven by increasing use of composite leaf springs in the light commercial vehicles. Asia-Pacific is relatively a small market for composite leaf springs but is expected to experience the fastest growth for the same period.

The supply chain of this market comprises raw materials suppliers, composite leaf spring manufacturers, Automotive OEMs, distributors, and dealers. The key automotive OEMs are Daimler, GM, Volvo, Fiat, Iveco, Peterbilt, Navistar, and Mahindra & Mahindra.

The global composite leaf spring is a highly consolidated market. The key leaf spring manufacturers are Liteflex LLC, IFC Composite, and Benteler-SGL. New product development, capacity expansion and process optimization are the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain competitive edge in the market.
