Automotive Composites Market Set to Surpass US$11.44 billion by 2024, With Innovation and Sustainability Driving Robust Growth

DUBLIN, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Automotive Composites Market Report 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

World revenue for the Automotive Composites Market is forecast to surpass US$11.44 billion in 2024, with strong revenue growth through to 2034. 

Rising Demand for Fuel-Efficient and Light-Weight Vehicles Driving Market Growth

The market growth of automotive composites is being driven by an increasing demand for vehicles that prioritize both fuel efficiency and lightweight design. This surge in demand is a central catalyst behind the flourishing expansion of the automotive composites market. It is propelled by the automotive industry's ongoing commitment to finding solutions that enhance fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and elevate overall vehicle performance. Automotive composites, known for their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, have become instrumental in achieving these objectives. The necessity to reduce vehicle weight, directly impacting fuel consumption, makes automotive composites an appealing choice for manufacturers seeking innovative materials to construct lighter vehicles.

Moreover, the adoption of automotive composites aligns seamlessly with global concerns about environmental sustainability, positioning these materials as a crucial component in the ongoing effort to address climate change. The intrinsic lightweight nature of automotive composites not only contributes to improved fuel efficiency but also enhances overall vehicle performance, including factors such as acceleration, handling, and braking. Stringent regulatory standards related to emissions and fuel efficiency further incentivize the automotive industry to explore and incorporate innovative materials like automotive composites into vehicle design.

Growing Investments in Research and Development (R&D) to Further Enhance Composite Applications in the Automotive Industry

R&D investments can target cost reduction, a pivotal factor in boosting the competitiveness of composites. Research initiatives can focus on optimizing resin systems, curing processes, and automation technologies, all of which streamline production and reduce costs. This is a critical element in making composites a more appealing choice compared to traditional materials. R&D efforts can lead to the creation of innovative manufacturing techniques, such as automated lay-up, 3D printing, and continuous fibre reinforcement. These cutting-edge methods make production more efficient and allow for the fabrication of complex components. The result is the ability to produce customized, high-performance composite parts that were previously challenging or costly to manufacture.
