The global alloy wheels market size was valued at $17.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $31.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031. Alloy wheels are lightweight wheels made of aluminum alloys that have a high weight-to-strength ratio. These alloy wheels are commonly found in automobiles, sports cars, and other light commercial vehicles. The aluminum wheel has good corrosion resistance, high-speed stability, and less wear at lower working speeds.
Alloy wheels are made of an alloy of aluminum, carbon epoxy, E-glass epoxy, titanium, and magnesium. Due to their lighter weight, alloy wheels are different from standard steel wheels. Lightweight wheels, such as alloy wheels, can significantly improve a car's control. The rising need for lightweight, fuel-efficient cars, the inclination of consumers for fashionable, customized cars, and the expansion of the automotive sector are some of the majors factors attributed to the significant growth of the global alloy wheels market.

Due to their high price, alloy wheels may not be the best choice for buyers on a tight budget who value affordability more than style and functionality. Furthermore, people wishing to enhance their vehicle may find the expense of alloy wheels to be prohibitive.
Car lovers favor alloy wheels since they not only improve the vehicle's appearance but also offer better performance, greater fuel economy, and lighter weight. Additionally, there is a considerable need for alloy wheels in emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil due to the expansion of the automotive sector in these countries. Additionally, the popularity of customizing automobiles has increased demand for alloy wheels.
The key players profiled in the automotive alloy wheel market 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.
The alloy wheels market is segmented on the basis of material type, type, rim size, vehicle type, and region. By material type, the market is divided into aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and magnesium alloy. As per type, the market has been categorized into forging, casting, and others. According to rim size, the market is classified into 12 Inches - 17 Inches, 18 Inches - 21 Inches, and More than 22 Inches. Depending on vehicle type, the market is divided into passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The alloy wheels market is segmented into Rim Size, Vehicle Type, Material Type and Type.

The 18 inches -21 inches sub-segment dominated the global market in 2021 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The 18 inches - 21 inches low-profile tires provides best experience to the drivers in handling the curves. This is because running around bends requires tighter steering that is more reliable due to the tire's lower flexibility and stickier tire compound. The sidewall of 18- to 21-inch tires is often thinner, which keeps a lot more stiffness on the road. Some vehicles' drivers may notice a minor improvement in cornering handling thanks to the enhanced rigidity. During the analysis timeframe, these factors are projected to accelerate the expansion of the 18 inches–21 inches sub-segment.
[VEHICLETYPEGRAPH]
By vehicle type, the passenger vehicles sub-segment dominated the market in 2021 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth is majorly attributed to the rapid growth in the sales of the passenger vehicle in the recent years.
[MATERIALTYPEGRAPH]
By material type, the aluminum alloy sub-segment held the highest market share in 2021 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Aluminum alloy wheel is the lightest alloy wheel among the types of alloy wheels. Aluminum alloy wheel weighs almost 20% lesser than the other alloy wheels which makes it more preferable for the customers and this is the main factor for the growth of the aluminum alloy wheels.

By type, the forging sub-segment dominated the global alloy wheels market share in 2021. These wheels are stronger, longer-lasting, and corrosion- and oxidation-resistant thanks to the forging process. In addition, the wheel's structural integrity is preserved. The performance and fuel economy of a vehicle are both improved with forged wheels. The ideal option when aluminum components need to exhibit maximum strength and performance while being lightweight is forged aluminum since it is strong. Forging improves chemical consistency and increases structural strength by reducing internal gaps and gas pockets that degrade metal components.
[REGIONGRAPH]
By region, North America dominated the global alloy wheels market in 2021. The Asia-Pacific alloy wheels market is rapidly growing during the projected period and is anticipated to lead the automobile wheel market. China and India are primarily responsible for this expansion. Due to the largest population density in the world, with two densely populated countries, China and India, the region will have the biggest worldwide demand for automobiles during the projected period, accounting for nearly 60% of the world's vehicles. People's income levels are rising extremely quickly in this region as well. The Asia-Pacific region has the maximum population of middle-class residents who are concerned about automobile fuel efficiency. The fuel economy is anticipated to increase as the vehicle's overall weight decreases.
