The global automotive composites market is poised for significant growth, projected to rise from USD 10,430.1 million in 2025 to USD 33,272.5 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 12.3%. The expansion is driven by the automotive industry's shift toward lightweight materials, stricter emissions regulations, and a rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Composites are transforming vehicle design by balancing strength, safety, and fuel efficiency. Automotive composites, created by combining two or more materials such as fiber reinforcement with a polymer matrix, offer a unique combination of strength, durability, and reduced weight. Commonly used materials include carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP), and natural fiber composites.
