Because of these regulations, manufacturers are in a better position to invest in electrification, increase the number of EV models they offer, and increase manufacturing capacity in order to fulfil the growing demand from consumers for greener and more efficient modes of transportation.
• There is a shift in consumer preferences towards sustainability and environmental stewardship as customers are prioritising cars with lower emissions and less of an impact on the environment. Automakers have been forced to include electric and hybrid technology into their portfolios of vehicles, which includes anything from compact cars to SUVs and even commercial vehicles, due to a shift in consumer demand.

Market Restraining Factors

Intense Competition from Alternative Manufacturing Processes

• Because of its continuous effort to achieve innovation, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency, the automobile industry faces fierce competition from alternative manufacturing processes. Traditional techniques include Forging, casting, and machining that have long been essential to the manufacturing of automotive components. By technological developments in fields like advanced robotics, composite materials, and additive manufacturing brought new opportunities and efficiency.
• Lightweight structures and complex geometries with less material waste are produced because additive manufacturing is appealing for prototyping and the manufacture of custom parts. To save weight and increase fuel efficiency automotive applications are using composite materials because of their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.
• Advanced robotics and automation have increased speed, accuracy, and scalability in manufacturing processes which have also decreased labour costs and increased total production efficiencies. With the use of these technologies, producers can satisfy demanding quality requirements and keep their prices competitive in the worldwide market.
• Due to competition from these new technologies the traditional forging and casting industries have been forced to innovate and adapt.
