Research analysis on the global magnesium alloy wheels market identifies that the increased fuel efficiency of forged magnesium wheels will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 20% by 2021. Forged magnesium wheels lower the fuel consumption as they are 40% lighter than cast alloy wheels and require less effort to rotate. Compared to a twice heavy steel wheel, forged magnesium has repeatedly shown improvements of at least 3% in tire rolling resistance in a test performed by Alcoa. Fuel saving of nearly 1% or 0.5% can also be achieved for vehicles that use forged magnesium wheels due to the reduction in rolling resistance compared to a typical cast aluminum wheel. Other advantages of the magnesium alloy wheels also include reduced braking distance and acceleration, lower carbon dioxide emission, and better tire life and minimal risk.
The rising preference of customized vehicles is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the magnesium alloy wheels market. Compared to standard wheels, custom wheels offer improved functionality, precision and a stronger grip on the road. OEM wheels are made from steel and aluminum, whereas custom wheels are made of forged alloys that can be produced in different shapes. These forged magnesium alloy wheels will not be damaged in case of an accident or collision, and they offer an extended life. Customers can choose from a variety of shape, design, and color to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their vehicles.
MotoGP and Formula One races use vehicles that are fitted with forged magnesium wheels. Such vehicles are not commonly manufactured due to the complicated production process. Most of the manufacturers are aftermarket manufacturers as magnesium alloy wheels are used in racing cars and motorcycles, and the companies customize the wheels based on preference.
