Automotive Composites Market Size to Grow at a 6.3% CAGR to reach US$ 15.6 billion in 2024

The global automotive composites market is projected to reach an estimated value of US$ 15.6 billion in 2024, according to a newly added report by Stratview Research. In the coming five years, the growth rate of composites in automotive is likely to outpace the growth rate of the automotive industry, catching the significant attention of the industry stakeholders. Organic growth in the automobile production; strict government regulations regarding carbon emission reductions and fuel efficiency enhancements, such as CAFÉ Standards; an excellent weight reduction offered by composite materials, a shift towards all-composites parts, a significant reduction in number of parts, and excellent chemical as well as corrosion resistance are some of the factors that are escalating the demand for composite materials in the industry.

In recent years, the automotive composites market has witnessed fair consolidation as major players are acquiring other medium and small players with an aim to enhance their product portfolio and expand their geographical reach. Some of the foremost mergers & acquisitions that took place in the market include the announcement of an agreement on acquisition of Polyamide Business of Solvay by BASF and Domo Chemicals in which Domo Chemicals will acquire the European PA6.6 business of Solvay, whereas BASF will acquire the global polyamide business excluding European PA6.6 business. In 2019, the EU Commission approved the acquisition with deal expect to be closed by end of 2019. Similarly, in 2018, LyondellBasell acquired Ohio-based A. Schulman for an agreed price of US$ 2.25 billion. The acquisition is a strategic move of the company to double its existing compounding business and to broaden its products in the high-margin markets.

The report offers detailed insights in relevant market segments, their growth rates, latest market trends, forecasts, and other important details. The market has been segmented in six ways and the report has more than 150 figures and tables providing the most comprehensive information about the market segments and their growth prospects for the forecast period of 2020-2025.

As per the report, among different vehicle types, passenger car is expected to remain the growth engine of the automotive composites market during the forecast period. The high production of cars coupled with good composites penetration is the prime factor behind the dominance of the passenger car segment in the automotive composites market.

Composites are used in all major application areas in the automotive industry, such as interiors, exteriors, and under the hood. Composites have the highest level of penetration in under-the-hood application areas, such as air intake manifold, radiator end tanks, engine oil pan, engine cover, aero ducts, and charge-air-cooler end caps. Temperature and heat resistance are the major requirements of the materials used in under-the-hood applications. Amongst resins, polyamide resin is the perennial choice as it can withstand temperature about 260o C and is lightweight, resistant to road salt and engine fluids, and offers excellent mechanical properties.

Exterior applications of composites in the automotive industry generally include large-sized components and are relying more on LFRT and SMC compounds, unlike the under-the-hood segment that predominantly uses SFRT compounds. Front-end module, fender, bumper, liftgate, door module, and hood are key applications of composites in exteriors. Apart from interior, exterior, and under the hood, composite materials are also gaining sheet interest in various other applications such as leaf springs, pressure vessels, underbody shield, and driveshaft.

Europe and North America capture a large chunk of the global automotive composites market. The average composite content per vehicle is higher in Europe and North America as compared to the Asia-Pacific region, which led to a low share of Asia-Pacific despite being the largest vehicle producer across the globe. The USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, China, and Japan are some key countries across the globe, accounting for a significant share in the market.
