New York, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Automotive Composites Market: Market Segments: By Fiber ; By Resin ; By Manufacturing Process ; By Application ; and Region – Global Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2014 – 2020 and Forecasts to 2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06191621/?utm_source=GNW
Composites are used for various automotive interior, exterior, structural and other applications. Automotive composites contain many properties such as low coefficient of thermal expansion, shape retention, ease of manufacturing, resistance to corrosion for performance in dry and wet conditions. Composite Materials are classified by the geometry of the reinforcement as particulate, fibers, flake, carbon, and metal. In addition, polymer fiber composite is the most common form that has been used in the automotive industry.

Market Highlights
Automotive Composites Market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 6.63% in 2030.
Automotive Composites Market to surpass USD 41.85 billion by 2030 from USD 22.18 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 6.63% throughout the forecast period, i.e., 2020-30. The rising market share is due to high car sales and increasing demand for lightweight vehicles globally. Consumer preference for composites in powertrain and exterior components of sports cars and luxury vehicles is expected to positively impact the overall market growth. Increasing demand for cars in developing economies is directly impacting demand for noise control products in automobiles due to rapid urbanization, growing disposable incomes, and evolving lifestyles. The upward market for replacement auto-parts and soundproofing accessories is expected to propel the demand for products over the forecast period.

Automotive Composites Market: Segments
Natural fibers segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30
Automotive Composites Market is segmented by fiber as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), and natural fiber (NF). The greater market share in 2020 was accounted for by the natural fiber (NF) segment and is expected to see the highest growth during the forecast period due to environment-friendly characteristics. These are manufactured from natural materials such as stems, fruits, and leaves. Natural fibers used in manufacturing automotive components include kenaf, flax, hemp, and jute. Economical production and easy source ability are offering material with opportunistic growth scenarios. This provides an opportunity for manufacturers to further reduce manufacturing costs significantly with simultaneously adhering to environmental norms. In addition, owing to the lightweight and versatility of the commodity, the increased use of foam laminates for the roof lining and cushioning in vehicles is expected to support the demand segment.

Thermoplastic segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30
Automotive Composites Market is segmented by resin into thermoset and thermoplastic. Due to the recyclable potential and ability of a material to be melted and reformed, the thermoplastic segment is expected to see the fastest growth. The resins become soft when heated and are typically molded or formed in a heated vicious state. Also, thermoplastics have a faster molding cycle as there is no chemical reaction in the curing process, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing. Low cost of manufacturing affiliated with the product owing to less labor-intensive requirements and reduction in raw material costs will fuel the market demand.

RTM segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30
Automotive Composites Market is segmented by manufacturing process into Compression molding, Injection molding, RTM, and Other. The greater market share in 2020 was accounted for by the RTM segment and is expected to see the highest growth during the forecast period. Resin Transfer Molding is a type of closed mold process in which resin is injected into the mold with high pressure to saturate composite materials. RTM process significantly decreases material waste and typically reduces total part cycle time by about 5 to 6 minutes. Industry key players are undergoing strategic partnerships to develop innovative products.

Automotive Composites Market: Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rise in demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles
Growing fuel prices and rising demand for lightweight vehicles worldwide are the factors driving the growth of the global automotive composites market. Composites are primarily used for replacing steel and other heavy materials on account of their higher strength-to-weight ratio. A large number of vehicles currently use conventional fuel technologies, such as diesel and petrol, which has led to increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. As demand for cars rises in emerging markets, car manufacturers are focusing more on integrating safety and comfort into their vehicles. In this way, carmakers aim to create product differentiation in order to maximize the overall sales of their product portfolio.

Growing Demand for Light Weight Performance Materials
The reduction of vehicle weight has become one of the big issues in the automotive industry in the current scenario. Light-weight vehicles save fuel, reduce brake and tire wear and help reduce emissions. Lightweight vehicles also enhance fuel economy and assist with NVH power. Due to the growing demand for lightweight performance materials globally, the automotive composites market is driven rapidly.

Restrain
High manufacturing and processing cost of composites
High processing and manufacturing cost of composites in automotive and high economical investment associated with the production of composites are major factors for hindering the growth of the global demand for the automotive composite market. The cost of raw materials such as thermoplastic resins and carbon fibers are high, and thus even after its several beneficial properties over traditional materials such as aluminum and steel, its use gets limited in the automotive industry.
