Global Car Rack Market- Market Overview:

Global Car Rack market is expected to grow from USD 1213.47 million in 2021 to USD 1919.5 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the Projection period 2022-2029. The growth of this market is mainly driven owing to the increase in the trading of LPG across countries.

An automobile stand or carrier installed over the vehicle's roof to boost luggage capacity is referred to as a car rack. It is made composed of a mount, many rails, and pillars for supporting the rack frame and dispersing the weight of the luggage to protect the roof. Steel, aluminum alloy, composite plastic, and other lightweight materials are frequently used to make racks. To provide passengers with as much room as possible and improve their comfort while traveling, luggage or other items are placed on racks. The current variations can be attached and detached using hooks and joints for increased flexibility, minimum maintenance, and convenience. Traditionally, they were installed permanently on the vehicle's roofs. The expanding automotive industry is one of the major reasons contributing to the market's good outlook. Growth in the market is also being fueled by the increased use of ski and watersport carriers for leisure and recreational activities. There is an increasing preference for sturdy and visually pleasing car racks for additional luggage capacity due to the growing young population and interest in adventure sports. This is helping the market expand, coupled with several product developments, including the creation of fiberglass car racks that offer improved durability. Bias-ply and steel-reinforced racks can't match the durability of fiberglass ones, which also cost less to strengthen and perform better when traveling long distances. The industry is expected to be further fueled by additional factors such as increased tourism-related investments, rapid urbanization, and rising consumer spending power.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:                          

  • Rise in vehicle production

The market for car racks is projected to grow as vehicle production and global capacity for carrying luggage increase. The market for vehicle racks would be boosted globally if there was a rise in the need for additional cargo space and interest in entertainment and travel. The demand for vehicles from ride-hailing companies, travel, and tourist businesses, as well as a surge in consumer desire for leisure travel, are all predicted to raise demand for car racks globally. Additionally, as the automotive industry develops, various automobile kinds are produced to satisfy consumer demand, stimulating the car rack market.

Restraints:                                             

  • Difficulties in installation

Depending on the requirements and preferences of the buyer, the car racks can be added or deleted. However, removing and reinstalling the racks takes a lot of work. While some car racks are simpler to install and remove, others may need complex procedures. Technically, mounting anything to the outside of a car interferes with its aerodynamics and makes it drag since the mount blocks the airflow over the vehicle's body. Therefore, during the projected period, the market's growth would be constrained by the complexity of installation and removal.

Opportunities:

  • Increasing initiatives to enhance participation in skiing and other activities

Since the skiing sector helps these nations' economies, several nations with access to snowy mountains are ramping up their efforts to encourage skiing participation. For instance, to entice visitors to ski in the US Adirondack region, the Governor of New York City developed the Ski NY Spring Break campaign in 2018. Hundreds of people took part in this initiative, including representatives from the federal, state, and local governments and sports fans throughout the state. The market for car racks is driven by such large-scale projects and rising demand for skiing equipment because the vehicle racks transport the gear needed for skiing.

Challenge:

  • Impact of COVID 19 on the automotive industry

The globally linked automobile industry has experienced a quick and severe impact due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Chinese part exports are being disrupted, there have been widespread industrial disruptions in Europe, and assembly operations in the US have closed. Despite all the setbacks, the market is still gaining momentum slowly.
