Global Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic Market is valued at approximately USD 459.91 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 13.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic refers to a class of materials used in the automotive industry that combines carbon fibers with a thermoplastic polymer matrix. This combination results in a lightweight and high-strength material with specific properties suitable for various automotive applications. Carbon thermoplastics offer advantages such as reduced weight, enhanced fuel efficiency, improved mechanical performance, and potential cost savings. The Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic Market is expanding because of factors such as the rising demand for emission-free electric vehicles and the growing demand for energy-efficient vehicles. As a result, the demand for Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic has progressively increased in the international market during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Carbon thermoplastics play a crucial role in addressing the weight challenges associated with batteries in electric vehicles. The lightweight nature of these materials helps offset the heavy weight of battery packs, contributing to overall efficiency and performance. According to Statista, in 2022 plug-in electric light sales accounted for 10.2 million units. Furthermore, about 2.9 million new plug-in hybrid electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle sales accounted for around 28.4% of electric vehicle sales in 2022. Another important factor that drives the Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic Market is the increasing demand for energy-efficient vehicles. The automotive industry is witnessing a rise in the production of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Carbon thermoplastics play a crucial role in these vehicles by contributing to weight reduction, which is especially important to offset the additional weight of batteries in hybrid systems. In addition, as per Statista, in 2021, The Lucid Air G Touring AWD model emerged as the energy efficiency leader in the large automobile market, outperforming all light passenger vehicles with a range of 131 miles per gallon petrol equivalent. Moreover, increasing focus on reduced weight and parts consolidation in the automobile industry and rising technological advancement in Automotive Carbon Thermoplastic are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost of carbon fiber and recyclability of composite components is going to impede overall market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
