Automotive Sheet Metal Components Market Report 2026

The automotive sheet metal components market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $136.89 billion in 2025 to $141.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in automotive production, rising demand for durable vehicle components, increasing use of steel and aluminum in automotive applications, advancements in sheet metal forming technologies, expansion of automotive aftermarket.

The automotive sheet metal components market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $160.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, increasing use of lightweight and high-strength metals, growing focus on corrosion resistance and coating technologies, adoption of customized and precision-engineered components, expansion of automotive manufacturing in asia-pacific. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of high-strength and lightweight steel, increasing adoption of aluminum components in vehicles, expansion of advanced sheet metal forming techniques, growing demand for corrosion-resistant and coated metals, rising focus on customized interior and exterior components.

The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive sheet metal components market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery, which can be recharged from an external source. To boost efficiency, EVs rely heavily on lightweight materials, and automakers are increasingly replacing traditional steel components with aluminum, magnesium, and other lightweight alloys. This shift in material preferences is expected to increase demand for sheet metal components that can be shaped, stamped, and welded into complex forms. For example, in 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental energy forum working with governments and industry, reported that electric car sales in 2023 were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. This data highlights the growing consumer demand and market expansion for electric vehicles. As a result, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive sheet metal components market.

Leading companies in the automotive sheet metal market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as enhanced forming simulation and die system optimization to improve manufacturing efficiency and forming accuracy. These technologies use advanced digital modeling tools to simulate sheet metal behavior, optimize die designs, and improve material usage before physical production begins, helping to reduce errors, development time, and costs. For example, in October 2024, Engineering Technology Associates Inc., a U.S.-based company, launched Dynaform 7.2, featuring advanced sheet metal forming simulation capabilities aimed at streamlining die system processes in automotive manufacturing. The software improves blank size engineering by delivering better nesting results and higher material utilization rates, enhances die face design with greater tool design flexibility, and introduces Auto CAM and Trim Segment functions to support multistage die design and cutting operations. Additionally, it advances formability simulation to improve speed and precision in metal forming and expands tube bending and forming capabilities to support a wider range of automotive sheet metal applications while optimizing overall production workflows.

In July 2024, Autoline Industries Limited, an India-based manufacturer of automotive sheet metal components and assemblies, partnered with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle Limited to supply sheet metal parts and sub-assemblies for passenger vehicles. This collaboration aims to strengthen the supply chain and enhance production efficiency by combining Autoline's manufacturing expertise with Tata Motors' vehicle production capabilities, ensuring the delivery of high-quality sheet metal components for OEM applications. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle Limited is an India-based automotive manufacturer producing passenger vehicles for both domestic and international markets.
