The Global Automotive Body Stamping Market Likely to be Driven by Growth and Innovations in the Automotive Industry
The global market for automotive body stamping is expected to be driven by growth in the automotive industry and need for precise metal components matching novel innovations and growth in the sector. North America, Europe and Asia are projected to be key markets.
In the automotive industry, there is heavy usage of cleanly created solid metal parts and forms forged through metal stamping manufacturing processes. These processes employ specialized dies to press metal sheets into precise forms. Metal stamping processes for components like hub caps and fenders are beneficial to auto manufacturers as the dies can be reused to forge consistently sized and formed parts that fulfil rigid specifications and tolerances.
With time and advances in technology, metal stamping processes have become increasingly developed. Advancements in electromagnetic tools have enabled better interactions with sheet metal and precise positioning. Electromagnetically aided tools can forge complex and intricate shapes while reducing material waste by both make more intricate, complex forms and reduce material waste by reducing margins between stamps. Mechanical presses (involving a mechanical flywheel run by a motor), hydraulic presses (containing pressurized liquids to regulate application and pressure of force), and mechanical servo presses (using motors without mechanical flywheels) are the three common types of metal stamping presses employed for automotive and other industrial parts. These press types can function with automated systems, including automatic feeders, to enhance speed of production and efficiency. Hot and cold stamping are the two approaches used for metal stamping. In hot stamping, steel blanks are heated until they may be deformed. Then, the steel blanks are forged in the desired shape with the help of special dies, and quickly cooled to secure the required shape. In cold stamping, high pressure is used to forge metal sheets into the required form. Under this method, thicker pieces of metal are generally used.
Aluminium, copper and steel are commonly used metals in automotive metal stamping. Each metal has distinct qualities that make the metal suitable to particular applications. For example, aluminium is light weight and has an attractive façade. Further, it readily forms alloys with other metals. Thus, manufacturers employ aluminium to forge visible parts and details. Copper is relatively cheap, corrosion resistant, and gives an appealing finish. It is also reusable and recyclable. Firms use copper to appeal to environmentally sensitive consumers. Stainless steel contains a minimum of 11% chromium which makes it rust and corrosion resistant. It is resilient and offers a shiny and appealing exterior.
Cost-effectiveness Offered by Metal Stamping Likely to Stimulate Growth
Metal stamping is an economical process; it allows producers to fulfil customer expectations by delivering better products without compromising profits. In the automotive industry, passenger vehicles employ metal stamped parts to adhere to safety standards and regulate consumer costs. This cost-effectiveness offered by metal stamping processes is expected to increase demand.The Need to Keep Vehicles Light and Fuel-efficient Expected to Boost Market Growth
Metal stamping facilitates the manufacture of complex lightweight constituents across materials (such as stainless steel, galvanized steel, high strength low alloy steel, copper, aluminium, brass, etc.) heavily demanded by the automotive sector owing to the need to produce lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles while maintaining durability and safety. Such need is expected to drive market demand. Further, signal and power distribution systems, communication equipment and flat connection systems warrant metal stamped clips, switches, assemblies, bushings, connectors, and fasteners. Such applications are also likely to stimulate the market.Global Automotive Body Stamping Market Segmentation
