DUBLIN, Jan. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Composites Market Report 2024-2034" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
World revenue for the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Composites Market is forecast to surpass US$23.88 billion in 2024, with strong revenue growth forecast through to 2034.
The surge in demand for vehicles that are both fuel-efficient and lightweight has emerged as a central driver behind the burgeoning growth of the CFRP composites market. This demand is propelled by the automotive industry's persistent pursuit of solutions to enhance fuel efficiency, decrease emissions, and elevate overall vehicle performance. CFRP composites, renowned for their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, have become pivotal in achieving these objectives. The imperative to reduce vehicle weight, given its direct impact on fuel consumption, makes CFRP composites an attractive choice for manufacturers seeking innovative materials to construct lighter vehicles.
Furthermore, the adoption of CFRP composites aligns with global concerns about environmental sustainability, positioning these materials as a crucial component in the ongoing effort to address climate change. The inherent lightweight nature of CFRP composites not only contributes to improved fuel efficiency but also enhances the overall performance of vehicles, including factors such as acceleration, handling, and braking. Stringent regulatory standards related to emissions and fuel efficiency further drive the automotive industry to explore and incorporate innovative materials like CFRP composites into vehicle design.
The evolution of electric and hybrid vehicles as viable alternatives in the automotive landscape has added another dimension to the demand for lightweight materials. CFRP composites, with their suitability for alternative propulsion systems, play a pivotal role in the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. Innovations in manufacturing processes, such as automated fibre placement and resin transfer moulding, have streamlined the production of CFRP composites, making them more efficient and cost-effective for automotive applications. As consumer preferences increasingly gravitate towards sustainable and environmentally conscious choices, CFRP composites stand out as materials that align with these expectations, further fuelling their adoption in the automotive industry. In essence, the rise in demand for fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles positions CFRP composites as a transformative force shaping the landscape of vehicle construction and design.
Increasing R&D Investments
