隨著永續性、能源效率和排放成為全球首要任務,汽車產業正經歷模式轉移。長期以來,傳統的金屬部件因其強度和耐用性而備受青睞,但現在正逐漸被先進的複合材料所取代,這些複合材料在顯著減輕重量的同時,也能提供同等的性能。在這些材料中,汽車複合材料,尤其是纖維增強塑膠,因其在提高燃油經濟性、減少排放氣體和提高設計靈活性方面的潛力而發展勢頭強勁。這種轉變不僅受到消費者偏好和性能優勢的推動,也受到全球主要汽車市場日益嚴格的政府監管的推動。
區域市場動態
歐洲繼續成為汽車複合材料的主要市場,這主要得益於嚴格的歐洲排放法規的實施。由於政府的大力支持和先進的研發能力,德國、法國和英國等國家在複合材料的應用方面處於領先地位。歐洲汽車產業積極採用複合材料,不僅是為了減少排放,也是為了提升性能和創新設計的可能性。
由於美國企業平均燃油經濟性 (CAFE) 法規要求汽車製造商持有車隊的平均燃油經濟性,預計北美將在未來幾年實現最高成長率,這將推動原始設備OEM更大規模地採用複合材料。此外,北美市場受益於由汽車製造商和複合材料供應商組成的強大生態系統,從而加速產品開發和應用。
亞太地區也正成為汽車複合材料的重要樞紐。快速的工業成長、不斷成長的汽車產量以及政府的支持性政策,正在鼓勵中國、印度、日本、韓國等國的製造商採用複合材料技術。例如,中國推出了一項以電動車和環境永續性為重點的國家戰略,這正在推動複合材料的應用,尤其是在輕量化電池機殼和結構部件方面。預計亞太地區的複合年成長率將達到 10%,並在預測期內超過其他地區。
汽車複合材料需求分析
汽車複合材料市場根據樹脂類型細分為熱固性樹脂和熱塑性樹脂。熱固性樹脂傳統上因其剛性和耐熱性而備受青睞,而熱塑性樹脂則因其可回收性和快速加工性而日益受到青睞。這一趨勢與汽車行業日益重視永續材料和可擴展生產方法相吻合。
複合材料中使用的纖維類型包括碳纖維、玻璃纖維等。碳纖維雖然成本高昂,但在減重和強度方面表現出色,使其成為高性能和豪華汽車的理想選擇。玻璃纖維價格更實惠,同時仍能提供足夠的機械強度,非常適合主流汽車應用。此外,天然纖維和混合複合材料正在被研究作為合成纖維的永續生物基替代品。
到2024年,汽車產業將成為複合材料外飾件應用量最高的領域,佔全球需求的近30%,其次是內裝零件、動力傳動系統系統和懸吊零件。醫療和航太應用雖然市場佔有率較小,但也推動了複合材料使用量的成長。展望未來,汽車和航太部門的市場佔有率預計將略有成長,而其他應用領域預計到2036年將保持穩定。
環境法規推動複合材料的應用
隨著人們對減少二氧化碳排放的日益關注,世界各國政府紛紛實施嚴格的燃油經濟性和排放法規,促使汽車製造商探索傳統材料的輕量材料。複合材料透過顯著減輕車重,有助於降低燃油經濟性,並使製造商能夠滿足這些法規的要求。複合材料目前廣泛應用於各種車輛系統,包括車身外部、動力傳動系統、懸吊和內裝。由於外部零件對車輛設計、動態和燃油效率的影響,其仍然是最大的應用領域。
本報告對全球汽車複合材料市場進行了深入分析,包括市場動態和行業趨勢、細分市場需求、製造商概況等資訊。
The automotive industry is experiencing a paradigm shift as sustainability, energy efficiency, and emission reduction become top global priorities. Traditional metal components, long favored for their strength and durability, are increasingly being replaced by advanced composite materials that offer comparable performance with significantly less weight. Among these materials, automotive composites-particularly fibre-reinforced plastics-are gaining momentum due to their ability to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and enhance design flexibility. This shift is not only being driven by consumer preferences and performance advantages but also by tightening government regulations across major automotive markets worldwide.
Regional Market Dynamics
Europe continues to be the dominant market for automotive composites, largely due to the implementation of stringent European emission standards. Countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are leading in the use of composite materials, thanks to strong government support and advanced research capabilities. The automotive industry in Europe is actively integrating composites not only for emission reduction but also for performance enhancement and innovative design possibilities.
North America is poised for the highest growth rate in the coming years, driven by Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in the United States. These regulations require automakers to increase the average fuel efficiency of their vehicle fleets, pushing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to embrace composites at a larger scale. In addition, the North American market benefits from a strong ecosystem of automotive manufacturers and composite suppliers, accelerating product development and adoption.
The Asia-Pacific region is also emerging as a major hub for automotive composites. Rapid industrial growth, increasing vehicle production, and supportive government policies are encouraging manufacturers in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea to adopt composite technologies. In China, for example, national strategies focused on electric vehicles and environmental sustainability are fueling the adoption of composites, particularly in lightweight battery enclosures and structural components. Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10%, outpacing other regions over the forecast period.
Automotive Composites Demand Analysis
The market for automotive composites is segmented by resin type into thermosets and thermoplastics. While thermoset resins are traditionally used for their rigidity and heat resistance, thermoplastic resins are increasingly preferred for their recyclability and faster processing capabilities. This trend aligns with the automotive industry's growing emphasis on sustainable materials and scalable production methods.
Fibre types used in composites include carbon fibre, glass fibre, and others. Carbon fibre, despite being more expensive, offers superior performance in terms of weight savings and strength, making it ideal for high-performance and luxury vehicles. Glass fibre provides a more affordable alternative with adequate mechanical strength, making it suitable for mainstream vehicle applications. Additionally, natural fibres and hybrid composites are being explored as sustainable, bio-based alternatives to synthetic fibres.
In 2024, the automotive sector saw the highest use of composites in exterior components, which accounted for nearly 30% of global demand. This was followed by their use in interior components, powertrain systems, and underbody parts. Medical and aerospace applications are also contributing to increased composite usage, although their market shares are smaller in comparison. Looking ahead, the automotive and aerospace sectors are expected to see slight increases in market share, while other applications are likely to remain stable through 2036.
Innovations and Industry Developments
The automotive composites market continues to benefit from material innovation and technological advancements. In May 2024, Solvay introduced KetaSpire KT-857, a new PEEK-based extrusion compound designed for insulating copper magnet wires in electric motors. This product is tailored for high-voltage applications in electric vehicles, which are increasingly being developed with powertrains operating at 800 volts or higher. Such innovations address key concerns like electric vehicle range anxiety and further highlight the critical role of composites in the future of mobility.
Environmental Regulations Driving Composite Adoption
The growing focus on reducing carbon emissions has led global governments to implement strict fuel economy and emission standards, thereby encouraging automakers to explore lightweight alternatives to conventional materials. By significantly reducing vehicle weight, composites contribute to lower fuel consumption and enable manufacturers to comply with these regulations. Composites are now being adopted across a wide range of vehicle systems, including the exterior body, powertrain, underbody, and interior. Exterior components remain the largest application segment, owing to their impact on vehicle design, aerodynamics, and fuel efficiency.
Within the fibre composites market, major products include Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC), Short Fibre Thermoplastics (SFT), and Long Fibre Thermoplastics (LFT). Of these, LFT is projected to witness the highest growth due to its enhanced mechanical properties, such as a superior strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent resistance to chemicals, heat, and corrosion. These properties make LFT suitable for structural parts and under-the-hood applications. Additionally, thermoplastic composites are gaining an edge over thermoset resins because they are recyclable, process faster, and allow for greater flexibility in high-volume production environments.
