Wheel Cover Market: Worldwide Industry Analysis and New Market Opportunities Explored

Wheel cover, also called as wheel trims, is an additional accessory that is utilized to improve the esthetic appearance of the vehicle. Wheel covers are made of metal or plastic and are light weight and low cost.

Rise in consumer demand to improve vehicle aesthetics is driving the wheel cover market. Wheel covers are cost-effective and lend an appearance similar to that of alloy wheels. Increase in young consumers are driving the demand for vehicle accessories and the demand for wheel covers is rising as they are highly cost-effective. The wheel cover protects the wheel of the vehicle from dirt and rust and helps maintain good condition of the vehicle. Moreover, it helps maintain the resale value and hence, is being increasingly preferred.

Wheel covers are incorporated on vehicles with conventional rims and are not used on alloy wheels. Rise in the number of vehicles with alloy wheels is restraining the wheel cover market.

The wheel cover market can be segmented based on size, color tone, vehicle type, and region. Based on size, the wheel cover market can be classified into 12 to 15 inches, 16 to 17 inches, and greater than 17 inches. Sedans and hatchback utilize 12 to 15 inch category wheel covers due to their small wheel size. 6 to 17 inch wheel covers are used in multi-utility vehicles. Greater than 17 inch wheel covers are installed mostly commercial vehicles. The 12-17 inch segment is estimated to expand at a notable pace due to higher production of passenger vehicles that use these wheel covers.

Based on cover type, the wheel cover market can be split into wheel shrouds, static wheel fairing, metal alloy wheel cover, and plastic wheel cover. Wheel shrouds apart from adding esthetic value also possess functional value and enable the flow of air over the brakes. Static wheel fairings remain stationary and do not rotate with the wheel. Plastic wheel covers are extensively utilized, as they are cost-effective and are available in a variety of designs due to their moldability.

In terms of vehicle type, the wheel cover market can be segmented into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicles segment can be further sub-segmented into hatchbacks, sedans, and multi-utility vehicles. The commercial vehicles segment can be further split into light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicles segment holds a major share of the wheel cover market due to the higher production of passenger vehicles and also the application of the wheel covers in almost all vehicles with conventional rims.

Based on region, the wheel cover market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is a prominent market for automotive wheel covers due to the high manufacturing capacities & production of vehicles in the region.

Key players operating in the global automotive wheel market are Salvo, Versaco, Rockman, Aquarius, ZANINI AUTO GRUP, Suburban Wheel Cover, and KUAN HSINGS.

Low Power Display Market: Projection of Each Major Segment over the Forecast Period 2017 - 2025

  Low power display technology is treated separately from our modern world. High resolution displays with low power are considered by many consumers to represent the low power display technology. The development in optoelectronics and nanotechnology has changed the low power display market . The low power display market consumes of less power than plasma technologies and cathode ray tube (CRT). Low-power features have become essential for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to environmental concerns. The technology that saves energy by decreasing the power consumption of the backlight unit in a display panel is considered in in low power display technology.  A low refresh-rate technology was introduced in order to further minimize power consumption in the display panel. The low refresh-rate was achieved by employing oxide thin-film transistors (Ox-TFTs) with extremely low leakage currents. However, flicker may be visible due to the current leakage through the liqu...

Light Weapons Market: Key Players and Production Information analysis with Forecast 2025

Light weapons are weapons which are used by two or three persons serving as a crew, although some of them may be carried and used by a single person. Light weapons are basically used by militaries around the world and its applications have increased widely among armed groups. They include, inter alia, heavy machine guns, hand-held under-barrel and mounted grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft guns, portable anti-tank guns, recoilless rifles, portable launchers of anti-tank missile and rocket systems, portable launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems as well as mortars of a caliber of less than 100 millimeters. The latest generation of light weapons is more destructive, more portable, and generally more competent than older systems, raising concerns about their uncontrolled generation. Light weapons are represented by their durability, cost effectiveness, accessibility and utility. In terms of military and non-military demand, such criteria perfectly match the needs of those who...
