The global alloy wheels market is anticipated to reach $31.6 billion by 2031, growing from $17.6 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.
The alloy wheel's appearance is its most prominent benefit. Alloy wheels are frequently available as a luxury option in high-end variations of Indian automobiles. The general structure is essentially the same whether it is marketed as "Diamond Cut" or "Laser edged”. Alloy wheels are significantly lighter than standard steel wheels, which helps with weight reduction, fuel efficiency, braking, and acceleration. Due to their quicker heat dissipation than steel wheels, alloy wheels also help to extend the life of tires. Additionally, alloy wheels have higher grip and traction because of their lightweight construction, which transfers less weight to the coil spring. Additionally, there is a discernible change in steering and cornering ability.
The alloy wheels cost high for manufacture, are expensive to buy, and costly to repair. Due to their complex manufacturing process, alloy wheels are relatively costly. A customer has to pay approximately 50% more money to purchase an alloy wheel than for a steel wheel. As a result, automobile manufacturers do not use alloy wheels in their lower-end vehicles or, less expensive models. These factors are anticipated to hamper the market growth in the near future.
The use of real-time data collected from different equipment to assist in the supervision and direction of plant operations from remote places, reduces the need for human interaction in blast monitoring. Consequently, new alloy wheels systems are being deployed at a faster rate across a variety of sectors. These major factors are expected to drive the alloy wheels market growth during the forecast period.
Rapid growth in the awareness about the various benefits of the alloy wheels among the customers is the key factor that is anticipated to create better growth opportunities over the forecast period.
The use of automated condition monitoring technologies and increase in awareness of preventive maintenance are two factors contributing to the growth of the global alloy wheels market. The market for alloy wheels is expanding owing to increase in demand from new applications such as heating, ventilation, and cooling in manufacturing. The number of applications requiring blast monitoring has increased dramatically due to the global industrialization, which has boosted the market for alloy wheels globally.
The global market for automotive wheels was impacted by COVID-19. There have been disruptions in the supply chain as a result of factors like decreased vehicle sales, temporary closure of manufacturing facilities and enterprises that produce raw materials, and closing of international borders. The market is anticipated to rebound and expand favorably during the forecast period as things begin to return to normal.
The market for alloy wheels is anticipated to grow over the projected period as alloy wheels become more prevalent in mid-spec car models around the world and are made standard equipment on affordable car models in developing countries like India.
The key players profiled in this report include Steel Strips Wheels Limited, Status Wheel, RONAL GROUP, CMWheels, MHT Luxury Wheels, Enkei International, Inc., BORBET GmbH, Maxion Wheels, UNIWHEELS Group, Superior Industries, and Others.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Alloy Wheels Market," the alloy wheels market was valued at $17.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $31.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.Alloy wheels are wheels manufactured from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium in the automotive industry. A metal and additional elements are combined to form alloys. Compared to pure metals, which are typically softer and more ductile, alloys typically offer better strength. In comparison to steel wheels, alloys made of aluminum or magnesium are often lighter for the same strength, offer better heat conduction, and frequently produce superior aesthetic results. Despite the fact that steel, the most often used material for making wheels, is an alloy of iron and carbon, the phrase"alloy wheel" is typically only used to refer to wheels manufactured of nonferrous alloys. The control of a car can be greatly improved with lightweight wheels such as alloy wheels. Aluminum alloy, which is more durable, is increasingly used to make alloy wheels.
The market for alloy wheels is anticipated to grow over the projected period as alloy wheels become more prevalent in mid-spec car models around the world and are made standard equipment on affordable car models in developing countries like India. Due to their aesthetic appeal, alloy wheels are gaining popularity over time. Compared to steel wheels, they are lighter and better able to dissipate heat from brakes and tires. Additionally, OEMs' increased capital and R&D expenditures, particularly on passenger automobiles, promote market expansion.
Forging sub-segment of type segment held the highest market share in 2021. This dominance is owing to the ease of process that can be done in a single or many steps using a variety of magnesium alloys, most frequently AZ80 and ZK60 (MA14 in Russia). Although they are substantially more expensive, wheels made using this process typically have higher hardness and ductility than wheels made of aluminum. Forging is a difficult procedure that includes rolling, exerting high pressure, heating, hammering, and/or combining these processes. As a result, the alloy's crystal structure changes and the material gains strength and lightness.
The automotive wheels market is fragmented with a number of manufacturers controlling sizable market shares. Thyssenkrupp, Superior Industries, Enkei Wheels, and HRE Wheels are a few well-known manufacturers of automobile wheels. Businesses are making significant investments in R&D to create cutting-edge products and technology.
The producers are able to provide wheels with the newest characteristics due to the technological developments in manufacturing and material science. In order to create innovative wheels, the automobile wheel market is utilizing new design techniques and components, such as high-strength steel. Structural analysis methods and simulation tools are being used by many wheel manufacturers to create high-performance vehicle wheels. These factors are anticipated to create better growth opportunities for the market growth.
The alloy wheels market is segmented into material type, type, rim size, vehicle type, and region.
