Automotive Front-end Module Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing government support to promote EVs is notably driving the automotive front-end module market growth, although factors such as sharp decline in automobile production and sales may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive front-end module industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Front-end Module Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the global automotive front-end module industry growth is the increasing government support to promote EVs. For instance, in February 2019, the Indian government announced the second phase of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) scheme and doubled the budget allocated for this phase. The aim of this scheme is to reduce the purchase price of hybrid and EVs, with a focus on vehicles used for public or shared transportation (buses, rickshaws, and taxis) and private two-wheelers. Similarly, in the US, consumers get a tax credit for purchasing EVs under the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax credit. As per the guidelines mentioned by the government, BEVs and PHEVs purchased in or after 2010 may be eligible for the US federal income tax credit of up to USD 7,500. Such factors are expected to positively impact the global automotive FEM market during the forecast period.

Key Automotive Front-end Module Market Trend

Increasing cost pressure faced by OEMs is one of the key automotive front-end module market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The factors responsible for high-cost pressures faced by OEMs included stringent emission norms, massive investments in R&D, market competition, and evolving customer demands. OEMs must bear the increase in vehicle costs because of the competitive market and cannot pass such costs to the end consumers. As they need to limit the production cost to fulfill the demand side necessities and provide high-quality products simultaneously, they remain liable for any such product failures or recalls, which can impact the bottom line. The manufacturers catering to the automotive industry are exploring various ways to restrict the production costs and maintain the quality standards simultaneously, which will support the market growth.

Key Automotive Front-end Module Market Challenge

One of the key challenges to the global automotive front-end module industry growth is the sharp decline in automobile production and sales. For instance, the sales of light vehicles in the US dropped by about 3.1% from January to March 2019 compared with the same period in the previous year. Automotive production in Germany, UK, and China, among other countries, has been declining since 2017. China registered a decline of about 12.4% in automotive sales during the first half of 2019. Automotive production in other major automotive manufacturing countries, such as India, Japan, and the US, registered growth during 2017-2018. Moreover, the automotive industry witnessed a slow growth in 2020, owing to the global COVID-19 outbreak. Such factors may limit the market growth in the coming years.

This automotive front-end module market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
