Market Segmentation

The Japan automotive control arm market share is classified into material type, configuration type, vehicle type, and sales channel.

• The steel segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan automotive control arm market is segmented by material type into steel, aluminium, composites, and plastic. Among these, the steel segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to its high strength, durability, and affordability, and thus it is the first choice among most automobile companies. The steel materials are widely used due to their cost-saving nature and ease of production. They are normally lighter compared to other materials, which helps in the overall weight reduction of vehicles and better fuel efficiency.

• The lower control arm segment held the largest share of the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan automotive control arm market is segmented by configuration type into upper control arm, lower control arm, multi-link control arm, and trailing control arm. Among these, the lower control arm segment held the largest share of the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. These components are responsible for ensuring the wheel's position to the vehicle body, particularly when the vehicle brakes, slides around a turn, or tries to outrun the police. Lower control arm are strong contributors to the interaction between suspension and road, soaking up and dispersing a significant portion of forces transferred from the road and therefore influencing how a car handles and rides.

• The passenger cars segment held the largest share of the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan automotive control arm market is segmented by vehicle type into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles. Among these, the passenger cars segment held the largest share of the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the enormous scale of passenger cars manufacturing and increasing consumer requirements for ride comfort, responsive handling, and improved vehicle safety. Control arms for suspension have a significant function in supporting contemporary suspension concepts, such as multi-link and MacPherson strut assemblies used in small and mid-size passenger vehicles.

• The OEM segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan automotive control arm market is segmented by sales channel into OEM and aftermarket.
