Lightweight Materials Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Lightweight Materials Market (Aluminum, Titanium, High Strength
Steel, Magnesium, Polymer & Composites and Others) for Defense,
Energy, Transportation and Other Applications - Global Industry
Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020
Some of the key players in the global lightweight materials market include Cytec Industries, ExxonMobil,
DuPont, Evonik Industries, Aleris International Inc, Bayer AG, Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) and
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI). Value chain of the lightweight materials industry is interconnected
with players in each segment. These players collaborate to develop final products. Companies such as
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and Titanium Metals Corporation operate across the value chain, from
producing raw materials to manufacturing vital components for end-user industries. These companies are now
focusing on the development of new products for the aerospace industry due to high demand from the sector.
The global market for lightweight materials is estimated to rise at a steady CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast
period of 2014 to 2020, reaching a valuation of US$186.3 bn by the end of 2020.

Aluminum Remains Most In-Demand Product Segment
The global market for lightweight materials is segmented on the basis of product, application, and
region. By product, the market is divided into aluminum, titanium, high strength steel, magnesium,
polymer and composites, and others including ceramic composites, carbon fiber composites, and
hybrid materials. Out of these, aluminum is one of the major lightweight material, and is expected to
remain the most prominent product segment in the global lightweight materials market during the
forecast period.
The composites product segment, which includes metal matrix composites, glass fiber reinforced
plastics, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, ceramic composites, and other hybrid materials, is expected
to exhibit an increase in demand over the forecast period, owing to their functional benefits in
comparison with other lightweight materials. However, composites come at a premium cost which will

hamper the share of the segment to some extent. Titanium, another important lightweight materials,
will witness significant demand during the forecast period, primarily from the aviation industry.
By application, the market is segmented into defense, energy, transportation, and others including
medical applications. Geographically, the market is divided into the regions of North America, Europe,
Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Currently, Asia Pacific serves most of the demand in the global
lightweight materials market.

Construction Industry Extending Demand
The demand in the global lightweight materials market is driven by various end-use industries, such
as transportation, aviation, automobile, and railways. However, transportation sector remains the
most prominent demand candidate due to widespread usability and the increasing need for fuel
efficiency. Lightweight materials such as titanium are now extensively used in aviation industry. The
industries such as medical, energy, defense, consumer goods, construction, and electronics are now
also extending their practical use for lightweight material, which is another factor that will augment the
demand in the market during the forecast period.
Construction industry, particularly in the region of Asia Pacific, is thriving. Lightweight construction
materials have lower density than water, despite a higher strength-to-weight ratio than that of
aluminum and steel. However, the only restraint over the market is that these lightweight materials
come at a premium price.
According to the author of the report, “structural advantages offered by lightweight materials, along
with expected price reduction of composites during the forecast period, will further escalate the
demand. Consequently, the players in the market must also keep an eye on on research and
development to find new composites, which can help them gain ground over their competitors.”
