汽車複合材料市場 - 2024年至2029年預測Automotive Composites Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
2022年汽車複合材料市值為73.17億美元,複合年成長率為11.04%,到2029年市場規模將達到152.31億美元。
汽車複合材料是輕質、緻密的材料,主要用於卡車和汽車的引擎蓋和內裝。複合材料是減輕車輛重量的首選材料,因此被用於許多汽車內部和外部應用。由於其優異的尺寸穩定性,複合材料近年來在汽車領域越來越普及。複合材料是理想的材料,因為它們具有型態保持性、熱膨脹係數低、在乾燥和潮濕條件下具有耐腐蝕性能、製造方便性以及重量輕以減少車輛總質量。
需要更輕的汽車零件以提高燃油效率並減少排放氣體
與鋼、鐵、鋁等傳統結構金屬材料相比,複合材料玻璃纖維可減重15-20%,碳纖維複合材料可減重25-40%。此外,歐盟成員國已經制定了許多官民合作關係計劃,以促進複合材料在汽車領域的使用。複合材料和汽車輕量材料創新叢集的創建,以及汽車和化學工業之間的合作,透過對汽車碳纖維複合材料市場的供應鏈分析來支持投資,都是此類努力的例子。
汽車複合材料市場受到電動車需求不斷成長的推動。
幾位專家表示,透過車輛減重措施減輕每公斤重量,電動車的價格更高。雖然典型的內燃機汽車每減輕一公斤重量只能節省幾美元,但電動車每公斤可以節省約 7 至 8 美元。在傳統的駕駛循環中,典型的汽車在加速時會浪費大量能量,但它也可以透過煞車能量再生來回收大量動能。透過使車身更輕,電池可以做得更小,同時保持電動車的續航里程。減輕車身和電池組的重量可以縮小煞車系統和傳動系統等其他系統的尺寸,從而達到減輕車輛整體重量的複合效果。如果傳動系統功率和扭矩處於同一水平,減輕重量會減少污染物並提高內燃機車輛的性能。
玻璃纖維複合材料在汽車工業的使用增加
近年來,為了提高燃油效率和減少排放氣體,對輕量材料的需求顯著增加。玻璃纖維複合材料因其比碳纖維或天然纖維複合材料便宜而廣泛應用於汽車產業。此外,天然纖維複合材料也用於製造引擎蓋、儲存槽和儀表板等車身部件,從而減少鋼材等其他金屬的使用。
外部市場預計將以顯著的複合年成長率成長。
汽車複合材料的汽車外部應用包括頭燈、隔熱等。許多汽車製造商同樣關注車身複合材料。例如,最近的研究表明,增強熱塑性塑膠可能是下一個大浪潮。 BMW i3 是世界上第一款使用熱塑性複合材料外觀的量產車。作為玻璃纖維的替代品作為減輕重量的解決方案,汽車行業擴大使用天然複合材料來製造內飾件。
預計亞太地區在市場佔有率方面處於領先地位。
亞太地區是最大且成長最快的地區,因為該地區,特別是中國、印度和泰國,擁有最多的汽車數量。此外,印度、印尼、泰國和中國預計將成為道路上車輛數量最多的國家,也是最大的四輪汽車市場,從而刺激市場擴張。據印度品牌資產基金會(IBEF)稱,到2023年7月將總合生產2.08小客車*、三輪車、兩輪車和四輪車,預計這一趨勢將在未來十年持續下去。此外,世界領先的製造商正在轉向亞洲市場以增加利潤。一些世界上最大的汽車製造商正在印度開發製造設施,以滿足不斷成長的需求並促進該國的銷售。
主要市場推出
The automotive composites market is evaluated at US$7.317 billion for the year 2022 growing at a CAGR of 11.04% reaching the market size of US$15.231 billion by the year 2029.
Automotive composites are light and compact materials mainly employed under the hood and in the interiors of trucks, cars, and other vehicles. Composites are employed for numerous vehicle interior and exterior applications because they are favoured materials for weight reduction in autos. Because of their outstanding dimensional stability, composite materials have become more prevalent in the automotive sector in recent years. Composites are desirable materials because of their shape retention, low coefficient of thermal expansion, corrosion resistance for performance in dry and wet situations, the convenience of manufacturing, & low weight to reduce overall vehicle mass.
The requirement for lightweight components in automobile parts to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions
Compared to traditional structural metallic materials such as steel, iron, and aluminium, composites offer weight reduction benefits of 15-20% for glass fibre and 25-40% for carbon fibre composites. Moreover, many public-private partnership programs in EU member states have already been developed to boost the use of composites in the automotive sector. The creation of composites and automotive lightweight materials innovation clusters, as well as collaborations with the automotive and chemical industries to support the investment through supply chain analysis of the automotive carbon fibre composites market, are examples of such initiatives.
The market for automotive composites is being driven by an increase in demand for electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles, according to several experts, will allow for higher prices per kilo of weight saved in vehicle weight reduction measures. Typical IC engine automobiles can only afford to spend a couple of dollars for each kilogram of weight saved, whereas electric vehicles can save 7-8 dollars per kilogram. In conventional driving cycles, general cars waste more energy while accelerating, but they can also recover more kinetic energy through brake energy recovery. A lighter car body enables battery downsizing while preserving range in electric vehicles. Reducing the weight of the vehicle body and battery pack has a compounding effect on overall vehicle weight reduction by allowing other systems like the brake system and driving the train to be downsized. At the same drivetrain power and torque levels, the decreased weight cuts pollutants and enhances performance in ICE vehicles.
Rising use of glass fibre composites in the automotive industry
In recent years, there has been a significant growth in the need for lightweight materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Glass fibre composites are widely employed in the automotive industry since they are less expensive than carbon and natural fibre composites. Furthermore, natural fibre composites are used to make vehicle body sections like engine hoods, storage tanks, and dashboards, reducing the use of other metals like steel.
The exterior segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR.
Exterior automobile applications for automotive composites include headlamps, heat shielding components, and more. Many automakers are likewise emphasizing composites in their vehicle bodywork. For example, recent research indicates that reinforced thermoplastics could become the next big wave. The BMW i3 is the world's first mass-produced automobile with a thermoplastic composite exterior element. As an alternative to glass fibre as a light-weighting solution, the automobile industry is increasingly adopting natural composites in the interior portions of vehicles.
Asia Pacific is expected to take the lead in terms of market share.
Due to the highest number of automobiles present in this region, particularly in China, India, and Thailand, Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing region. Furthermore, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and China are predicted to have the greatest number of cars on the road, as well as the largest markets for four-wheelers, fueling the market's expansion. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in July 2023, 2.08 units of passenger vehicles*, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles were produced in total, a trend that is expected to continue in the future decade. Furthermore, top manufacturers worldwide are looking to the Asian market to boost their profits. Some of the world's largest automakers are developing manufacturing facilities in India to meet rising demand, boosting the country's automotive composites sales.
