Increasing Demand for Natural Fiber Composites from Automotive Industry Fuels Middle East & Africa Natural Fiber Composites Market

Advanced materials are crucial for boosting the fuel economy of modern automobiles while ensuring safety and performance. Substituting cast iron and traditional steel components with lightweight materials such as high-strength natural fiber composites reduces the weight of a vehicle body and chassis, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. Moreover, natural fiber composites are suitable for the manufacturing of nonstructural interior components, seat backs, headliners, interior panels, and dashboards.

The utilization of natural fiber-reinforced composites is increasing in automotive applications due to legislation and regulations forcing manufacturers to use sustainable and recycled materials to manufacture fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles. Moreover, several automotive manufacturers use natural fiber composites for interior and exterior applications. In 2020, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG launched Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR, featuring a car body kit made of natural fiber composite materials made from farmed flax fibers. This natural fiber composite is used to develop front and rear aprons; front spoilers; front and rear lids; mudguards; and diffusers, including aerodynamic fins. In 2022, Mercedes-Benz Group and its development partners, HWA AG and Bcomp Ltd, developed front bumpers engineered from natural fiber composite for Mercedes-AMG GT4 race cars. In 2022, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Bcomp Ltd formed a development alliance to utilize renewable raw materials for vehicle components. Furthermore, Bcomp Ltd developed powerRibs and ampliTex reinforcement solutions made from natural composite materials. These solutions have been used in DTM touring cars from BMW M Motorsport to substitute selected carbon fiber-reinforced plastic components. Therefore, the increasing use of natural fiber composites in the automotive industry drives the market growth. Also, the rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) drives the Middle East & Africa natural fiber composites market.
