The global automotive composite market size was US$ 10.83 billion in 2021. The global automotive composite market size is forecast to reach US$ 41.19 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

A composite vehicle is one that uses materials like carbon and glass that make the vehicle lighter, safer, and more fuel-efficient. Automobiles use them in their interiors and exteriors to enhance their performance. In addition to providing a good shape retention property and reliability, the composite material used in the automotive industry has unique properties such as lower coefficients of heat conduction and thermal expansion.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

• Increasing demand for lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles is driving the growth of the global automotive composite market.
• The adaption of zero-emission electric vehicles to degrading environmental conditions and the imposition of stringent government regulation factors are driving the market growth.
• The increasing use of composite materials in automotive applications contributes to the market's growth.
• The market may grow slowly due to the high cost of composite production and concerns about recyclability.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19

COVID-19 has caused a significant downturn in the automotive composites market during 2020. Lockdowns imposed in various countries have had a major impact on automotive manufacturers, which has resulted in a decline in the market for automotive composites. The shutdowns, halt in production, and disruptions across the supply chain have all impacted the growth of the automotive composites market in 2020. The market is forecast to begin to recover from 2021 with increased demand for electric vehicles. In addition, the lockdown delayed projects, which also affected the growth of the automotive composites market in 2020 and will revitalize the market.

Regional Insights

Europe led the global automotive composites market in 2021 and is forecast to grow significantly during the forecast period. In Europe, the automotive industry is one of the major industries, and it is comparatively higher than any other industry in the region. The European Union is among the world's largest manufacturers of vehicles, and the sector represents the largest private investor in research and development. The European Union's Automotive Fuel Economy standard and the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA) have imposed strict restrictions on auto emissions, putting a lot of pressure on automakers. Thus, increasing fuel efficiency requirements combined with the lightweight nature of automobiles has led to the use of automotive composites in automotive applications, driving the demand for the product in the region.
