The Western Europe Aluminium Wheel Market is Set to Grow Considerably in the Future

DUBLIN, Ireland--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48157) has announced the addition of The Western Europe Aluminium Wheel Demand Forecast Report 2nd Edition to their offering.

Since the first series of reports published on this topic in 2001, the rapid change within the global automotive industry has continued.

The market in Western Europe for aluminium wheels is set for considerable growth in the future. The renewed competition from the steel wheel industry will not threaten the future dominance of this industry in Europe. The structure of the industry is also changing in the light of new entrants from low cost countries and the continued challenge for OEMs to reduce cost. For competitive suppliers the alloy wheel industry, in Europe and other regions, will provide great potential for future growth.

This forecast report includes fifteen years of data, from 2000 to 2015, with a ten year forecast from 2005 to 2015 based on MIRU’s respected forecast car and light truck production volumes. The report covers Western European OEM line fitment of aluminium wheels.

It presents a detailed analysis of:

  • World vehicle production
  • Aluminium wheel manufacturing trends
  • Demand by Supergroup and OEM
  • Actual and forecast wheel consumption by vehicle model, wheel size and vehicle segment

The Western Europe Aluminium Wheel Demand Forecast 2nd Edition includes over fifty detailed full colour charts clearly showing key vehicle production and wheel demand data.

If you are responsible for:

  • Corporate strategy
  • Sales and marketing
  • Production planning and procurement
