''In terms of value, interior application segment accounted for the second-largest share of the overall automotive composites market.''
In 2023, the interior application segment accounted for the second-largest share of the overall automotive composites market, in terms of value. The interior applications of automotive composites include seatbacks, load floors, interior trims, interior headliners, underbody panels, and interior cabin. The usage of composites in these applications enables the reduction of weight. The weight of car is a critical factor for OEMs and hence, composites has been considered as best alternatives to other traditional materials that includes aluminum and steel for fabrication of interior parts of the car body. OEMs such as Audi and BMW have considered the usage of composites in various structural parts such as headliners and seat backs.
"During the forecast period, the automotive composites market in North America region is projected to be the second-largest region."
The growth of automotive composites in North America is fueled by the presence of some of the key automotive composite manufacturers such as Hexcel Corporation (US), Owens Corning (US), UFP Technologies, Inc. (US), Huntsman Corporation (US), and Hexion (US). These companies are undertaking various strategies to meet the growing demand for composites.
The increasing applications of glass fiber composites and other composites in the automotive industry are helping the North American market to grow. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and GHG regulations imposed by the government are encouraging the use of fuel-efficient vehicles. Such regulations are compelling manufacturers to adopt lightweight solutions, boosting the demand for automotive composites.
Prominent companies include Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan), SGL Carbon (Germany), POLYTEC HOLDING AG, ElringKlinger AG (Germany), Syensqo (Belgium), HENGRUI CORPORATION (HRC) (China), Exel Composites (Finland), Teijin Limited (Japan), Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation (Japan), Piran Advanced Composites (UK), IDI Composites International (US), and Rochling SE & Co. KG (Germany).
