Rocker Panel Market by Material Type, Application

List of Tables

The Rocker Panel Market was valued at USD 61.29 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 64.76 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.75%, to USD 90.69 billion by 2030.

The rocker panel, a vital component of a vehicle's structural integrity, is located along the sides of a vehicle between the wheel wells and below the doors. It plays a critical role in maintaining the vehicle's rigidity and protecting the cabin from debris and corrosion. The necessity of rocker panels is paramount for vehicle durability and safety, particularly in regions with harsh weather conditions. These panels are used in various vehicle types including sedans, SUVs, and trucks, thereby broadening the end-use scope significantly. Market growth for rocker panels is driven by the increasing production and sales of automobiles, heightened demand for vehicle customization, and stringent government regulations focused on vehicle safety and environmental standards. The rise in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing presents a promising opportunity for innovation in lightweight yet durable composite materials for rocker panels. Automakers are increasingly focusing on enhancing safety features and extending the lifecycle of vehicle components, creating a fertile ground for advanced manufacturing techniques and materials in rocker panel production.
