The automotive carbon fiber composites parts market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by several factors, including the continued adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, adherence to stringent fuel efficiency standards, expanded utilization of carbon fiber composite parts in structural components, the benefits of mass production and economies of scale, and the growing demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Major trends projected in this period encompass the increasing integration of carbon fiber composite parts in electric vehicles (EVs), advancements in manufacturing technologies to enhance efficiency, further integration of these parts in structural components, increased collaborations and partnerships within the industry, initiatives focused on cost reduction, and a heightened emphasis on recycling and sustainability practices.
The automotive carbon fiber composites parts market is experiencing significant growth, primarily driven by the surging demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, characterized by an electric motor powered by batteries that can be charged externally, are witnessing a substantial increase in sales. Carbon fiber composite parts find extensive use in electric vehicles to reduce weight, thereby minimizing energy consumption. According to the Global EV Outlook 2022 report published in May 2022, electric vehicle sales doubled from the previous year, reaching a new high of 6.6 million units. The global sales of electric car vehicles in 2021 surged to 6,600,000 units from 2,980,000 units. This surge in demand for electric vehicles is a key driver propelling the growth of the automotive carbon fiber composite parts market.
The automotive carbon fiber composites parts market is further fueled by the increase in vehicle production. Vehicle production involves the manufacturing and assembly of various modes of transportation, including automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles. The integration of carbon fiber composites in vehicle production is driven by ongoing efforts to enhance fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve overall performance. In 2022, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally, marking a significant increase of 5.7% compared to 2021. The rise in vehicle production is a crucial factor driving the growth of the automotive carbon fiber composites parts market.
A key trend in the automotive carbon fiber composites parts market is the emphasis on product innovation. Major companies in this market are actively focusing on developing composite materials that offer advantageous properties for automobiles. For instance, in May 2022, Solvay, a Belgium-based chemical company, launched SolvaLite 714 Prepregs-a new generation of unidirectional carbon fiber and woven fabric products pre-impregnated with epoxy resin SolvaLite 714. These advanced prepregs are specifically designed for manufacturing automobile components, such as body panels, with quick compression-molding cycle durations in serial production runs. They boast quick cure cycles and extended lifespans, representing a significant innovation in the field of automotive carbon fiber composites.
Prominent companies in the automotive carbon fiber composite parts market are actively engaging in strategic partnerships and collaborations as part of their efforts to maintain a strong position in the market. These collaborative ventures are formed between two or more organizations with the aim of achieving specific business objectives or goals. An illustrative example of such a strategic partnership is the collaboration announced by Voith Composites, a leader in Composites 4.0 and the production center of carbon fiber-reinforced composites in the Voith Group.
