Rising focus on production and sales of electric vehicles have further bolstered the investment, thus eventually driving the demand for automotive wheels in Canada. The Canada Automotive Wheel Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market Definition

A wheel with a tire, rim, and hubcap that is used to move the vehicle along and can be fitted with a broad variety of wheel styles and fitments for the tuning, luxury, electric, light-truck, and SUV sectors. These come in a variety of materials, including steel, alloys, carbon fiber, and others. Although “wheel” and “rim” are sometimes used interchangeably or nearly interchangeably, this is not exactly the case. Since rim and wheel are often formed or pressed from a single piece of metal, many people mistakenly refer to the entire metal component to which the tire is attached as a “wheel,” which is incorrect. Alloy wheels are growing popular due to their visual appeal and it increase look of the vehicle. Compared to steel wheels, they are lighter and better able to dissipate heat from brakes and tires. Additionally, OEMs’ increased capital and R&D spending on design of alloy wheels, notably on passenger automobiles, spurs market expansion.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market Overview

Rising focus on production and sales of electric vehicles have further bolstered the investment, thus eventually driving the demand for automotive wheels in Canada. For instance, Canadian Prime Minister announced a new federal investment in project funding for automaker Stellantis for modernizing assembly plants and surge the production of electric vehicles (EV). According to a statement from the Government of Canada, the government is investing up to USD 423 million into this project. Moreover, Ontario province of Canada is also supporting the project with an investment of up to USD 380.37 million. Growing sales of electric vehicles have further revolutionized the automotive industry in the country. For instance, new registrations of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) hit an important milestone in 2021, with ZEVs comprising 5.2%. There were 1.6 million new motor vehicles registered in Canada in 2021 in Canada’s three largest provinces; 42.8% of new ZEVs registered were in Quebec, 27.7% in British Columbia, and 22.9% in Ontario.

Thus with the increasing inclination of Canadians toward the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as well as light weight vehicles owing to the rising concerns over environmental degradation is anticipated to contribute significantly to the soaring demand for automotive wheels in the country. However, the supply of raw materials that make up the automotive component such as aluminium, steel, magnesium, and others, keeps fluctuating. Therefore, the excessive usage of the raw materials used in the automotive wheel manufacturing led to its shrinkage. For instance, cost of steel doubled in 2021, from USD 700 US per tonne to about USD 1,300 with auto industries turning out as the big users. These factors are negatively impacting the OEMs for automotive wheels operating in Canada.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market Segmentation Analysis

The Canada Automotive Wheel Market is Segmented on the basis of Vehicle Type, Material, Rim Size, and Geography.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market, By Rim Size

• Below 15” Rim Size
• 16”-18 Rim Size
• 19”-21” Rim Size
• Above 21” Rim Size

Based on Rim Size, the market is segmented into Below 15” Rim Size, 16”-18 Rim Size, 19”-21” Rim Size, and Above 21” Rim Size. 16”-18” accounted for the largest market share of 46.51% in 2021, and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.49% during the forecast period. Larger rims tend to make the car look nicer and the lower profile tires found on a car with 16”-18” alloys will make the car feel a bit “sportier, which means the handling will feel sharper and the cornering and stability will usually feel better. However, it’s worth noting that larger rims also add more weight which means acceleration can be reduced, but again there will be more sidewall to cushion the ride, making rough terrain feel nicer to drive on. Wheels of this rim size aren’t as loud, which again makes the ride feel a bit more pleasant for the passengers, particularly on faster roads.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market, By Material

• Alloy
• Carbon Fiber
• Steel

To Get Summarized Market Report By Material-

Based on Material, the market is segmented into Alloy, Carbon Fiber, and Steel. Alloy accounted for the largest market share of 87.50% in 2021, and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.20% during the forecast period. Moreover, Because of the lightweight, there is a lower unsprang mass which further enhances fuel economy. Lightweight frame of alloy wheels put less strain on the suspension which facilitates faster acceleration and there are more customization available for alloy wheels and they are more appealing to eyes than the steel wheels. Aluminium alloys wheels are known for their ability to resist corrosion, so alloy wheels in automobiles are immune to rust that may eat away at other wheels.

Canada Automotive Wheel Market, By Vehicle Type

• Passenger Cars
• Light Commercial Vehicle
• Heavy Commercial Vehicles

To Get Summarized Market Report By Vehicle Type-

Based on Vehicle Type, the market is segmented into Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicle, and Heavy Commercial Vehicles. Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) accounted for the largest market share of 70.46% in 2021, and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.17% during the forecast period. Wheel are considered an essential part of a light commercial vehicle, as it is required to be strong and able to handle the load of the commercial vehicle as well as the strain caused by the axle. The steel wheel is largely used in LCV, which rotates and transmits the power from the engine for the movement of the vehicle. Additionally, tires are mounted on the rims also known as light commercial vehicle steel wheel and properly aligned commercial wheels can improve driver safety, reduce costs and increase efficiency.
