Key Findings
*Key: CAGR'Compound Annual Growth Rate; OEMs'Original Equipment Manufacturers.
1 The total market is expected to grow from million units in 2013 to million units by 2020. Steel wheel adoption is expect to reduce
during the forecast period, while the aluminum wheels segment is expected to grow at a% CAGR* by 2020.
2 The majority of aluminum wheel adoption is found in the heavy-duty (HD) trucks and the trailers segment. Steel wheel installation is
highest in day-cab operators and in class and vehicles.
3 OEMs* continue to offer steel wheels as standard in HD/medium-duty (MD) trucks and aluminum wheels, mostly by customer
request. By 2020, steel and aluminum wheels installations are expected to reach and , respectively.
4 Alcoa is a key beneficiary whose dominance (complete upstream-downstream integration and technology leader) in the aluminum
wheels market is bolstered by rising penetration of aluminum wheels in the truck and trailer wheels OE market.
5 High production capacities at Chinese wheel plants present a major threat (price dumping). Chinese wheel suppliers increasingly
venture into new channels to access the North American market, e.g., Zheijang Jingu Company Limited recently acquired Hess
Industries and is exploring North American production.
