Global Automotive Body Molding Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Automotive Body Molding market size is predicted to grow from US$ 18195 million in 2025 to US$ 27334 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global automotive body molding production reached approximately 581 million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 32 per unit. Gross profit margins across the industry generally range between 18% and 30%, reflecting high-volume manufacturing characteristics and cost sensitivity. Global production capacity in 2025 was approximately 775 million units.
Automotive body moldings are exterior and interior formed components installed on vehicle bodies to enhance structural integrity, aerodynamics, protection, and visual appearance. These components are typically manufactured using plastic, rubber, or composite materials and are designed to meet durability, dimensional accuracy, and aesthetic requirements under various driving conditions.
The industrial chain includes upstream polymer materials, elastomers, metal inserts, and surface treatment materials. The midstream focuses on molding processes, trimming, coating, and quality inspection. Downstream applications mainly involve passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and new energy vehicles across OEM assembly lines.
The automotive body molding market is growing steadily alongside global vehicle production and increasing demand for lightweight and aesthetically refined vehicle designs. Automakers continue to adopt advanced molding components to improve aerodynamics, reduce vehicle weight, and enhance exterior differentiation. The shift toward electric vehicles further accelerates demand, as body moldings help optimize airflow and energy efficiency. Continuous improvements in materials, tooling precision, and surface finishing technologies support higher quality and longer service life. During 2026–2032, driven by stable vehicle output and ongoing platform upgrades, automotive body moldings are expected to maintain consistent market expansion.
