 Automotive Chassis Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Automotive Chassis Market size was valued at USD 145.6 Bn in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 365.68 Bn by 2031 and grow at a CAGR of 12.2% over the forecast period of 2024-2031.

Traditional body-on-frame construction uses a robust steel or other material frame as the chassis. The vehicle's weight is supported by this frame, which also serves as a mounting surface for other parts. Unibody construction is frequently used in contemporary automobiles, particularly in crossovers and passenger cars. The chassis and body are combined into a single component in this design, which reduces weight and increases rigidity. Most current autos frequently have this. The vehicle's suspension system is mounted to the chassis. These factors determine the vehicle's stability, handling, and ride comfort. The automotive industry growth rate is approximately matching up with 50% YoY growth compared to other industries which is increasing the demand.

Automotive Chassis Market Revenue Analysis

The engine and gearbox can be mounted on the chassis. To lessen noise and increase overall driving comfort, these mounts aid in keeping the powertrain in place and absorbing vibrations. To enable steering and braking control, the steering column and brake components are normally fastened to the chassis. The chassis frequently provides spaces for the exhaust system and fuel tank mounting. Front and rear crumple zones are frequently used in contemporary chassis designs. These parts are made to distort during a collision in a regulated way, absorbing energy, and safeguarding occupants. The vehicle's safety cage, which is intended to safeguard passengers, is likewise built on the chassis.

The chassis layout affects how the vehicle's weight is distributed, which has an impact on how it handles and balances. In order to protect passengers in the event of an accident, chassis components must be constructed to meet safety standards and have sufficient structural integrity. Steel is a typical choice for chassis because of its strength and longevity. To minimise weight, some vehicles may use aluminium or composite materials.

Market Dynamics:

Driver

  • The growth of automotive industry and the rising demand

A market size of 2.86 trillion dollars was generated by the automotive manufacturing industry in 2021, and in 2022 it is anticipated to increase. The sale of new automobiles is the main factor influencing chassis demand. The demand for chassis increases along with the growth of the automotive industry and rising customer demand for automobiles, trucks, and other vehicles. On the other hand, demand for chassis may fall during economic downturns or market contractions. Chassis demand may be impacted by changes in consumer tastes and market trends. For instance, the demand for varied types and numbers of chassis is influenced by the increased popularity of SUVs and crossover vehicles, which frequently require different chassis designs than conventional sedans.

Restrain

  • The global disruptions which are causing backlogs and volatility.

Opportunity

  • The rising trends in automotive industry and the rising sales percentage post global disruptions.

The need for automobiles in developing nations like China, India, and other regions of Southeast Asia has significantly boosted the market for chassis. The demand for cars is increasing as these economies expand and more people can afford them.

Challenge

  • The high cost and rising geopolitical pressures.

Impact of Recession:

A recession's most immediate effects include a decline in consumer spending. The consumer’s spending is decreased by 6% people often put off large purchases like cars during economic downturns. Because chassis systems and components are essential to the 12% production of vehicles, lower production volumes caused by decreased demand for vehicles have an impact on the market for them. Automakers frequently undertake production cuts and plant closures as a response to declining demand. Suppliers and manufacturers in the chassis sector may experience reduced demand for chassis materials and components as a result. Recessions can cause supply chain disruptions the companies have experienced 30% loss because of backlogs which has disrupted their financial aspects  in the automotive industry, which can delay the delivery of materials and chassis parts. Some suppliers may even have financial issues as they fight to sustain production levels.

Impact of Russia Ukraine War:

Steel, aluminium, and electrical components, among other raw materials and parts needed in the production of automobiles, are all significantly imported from Ukraine. Any interruptions in the flow of these materials from Ukraine could complicate the supply chains for the producers of chassis and autos and possibly postpone production. Supply chain interruptions, particularly those that influence raw materials, can lead to an increase in the cost of the components required to make chassis. Because of this, chassis makers may incur greater manufacturing expenses, which could result in increased vehicle prices. As a result, new automobile prices may rise for consumers. The cost has increase by 10% which has led to several pricing pressures on OEMs. Also, the transportation prices have got influenced by 25% because of the war.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
