Automotive Front End Module Market Research Report Information by Material (Steel, Composite, Plastic, and Others), by Component (Headlight, Front Grill, Radiator, Condenser, Horn Assembly, Oil Cooler and Others), by Vehicle (Passenger, Commercial) and by Region - Forecast to 2030

Automotive Front end Module Market Overview

The automotive front-end module market is anticipated to register USD 1,21,080 million at a CAGR of over 5.80% during the forecast period ending in 2030. The front-end modules were mostly designed and fabricated with weighted steel materials. However, in the current scenario lightweight composite materials, like polypropylene, glass mat thermoplastic, long fiber thermoplastic (LFT), direct LFT aluminum, etc. are used in manufacturing front-end modules. Skyworks Solutions of Woburn, in the United States, has designed front-end modules that provide wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and GPS-enabled tracking products. Tracking is becoming an increasingly vital opportunity, as the Internet of Things explosion proliferates and encompasses a wide range of new and previously unimagined applications, ranging from smart meters and connected vehicles to security systems. The combination of IoT with front-end module products is said to propel the market for front-end modules at a significant pace over the forecast period.

COVID 19 Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe. In March 2020, the declaration of coronavirus as a pandemic by the WHO has resulted in lockdowns being implemented in many countries. The strict restrictions that have been imposed by government authorities have compelled industry players to let their employees to work remotely and in a virtual manner. However, the adoption of automated developed technologies to lesson human interaction in manufacturing and production facilities is expected to support the widespread growth of the global earthmoving equipment market during the forecast period that will be ending in 2030. The widespread use of technologies, including automated machinery and advanced electronics, has not only ensured the continuous running of businesses during the pandemic but has further improved work productivity.

The growing degree of sales of excavators and related products is likely to play a main role in generating revenue for the earthmoving equipment industry. The growth of the demand for the products can be attributed to their high usage in the construction of commercial and residential buildings. The market report shows that there has been an increased demand for the products and hence, the losses during the pandemic are likely to be covered in the period. The fluctuating degree of sales of excavators is further expected to hamper the global growth of the earthmoving equipment market over the projected timeframe.
