The global composites market size is expected to reach USD 163.97 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for composites is expected to witness significant growth owing to the rising fuel prices and stringent government regulations have shifted automobile manufacturers focus on light-weighted components which would further propel the market demand over the forecast period.

Composite products play an essential role in the manufacturing of automotive and aircraft parts. The growing concerns regarding fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels have prompted the manufacturers to use carbon fiber composite materials as substitutes for metal components. Technological innovations to minimize the manufacturing cycle time is expected to propel the usage of composites in the automotive sector.

The high cost of composites has limited their application scope to premium segment cars. However, key players are conducting extensive R&D activities to develop low-cost composite grades with similar mechanical properties as that of the high-cost variants. This is expected to spur the demand for the product in the automotive industry over the forecast period.
