The automotive carbon fiber composites parts market is projected to grow to $53.92 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 15.4%, driven by the need to extend electric vehicle range, meet stricter carbon emission rules, and reduce material costs. Key players like Toray Industries and SGL Carbon are advancing rapid molding technologies that cut production time tenfold while halving part weight compared to steel. Segments include brake discs, battery housing, chassis, and pillars, with applications in both OEM and aftermarket sectors. Recent moves like RECARO's acquisition of C12 Technology highlight the push to integrate software and advanced manufacturing for lighter, stronger components. This shift directly supports grid decarbonization by reducing energy demand in transport and enabling longer-range EVs without larger batteries. The report covers trends in resin systems, battery enclosures, and structural parts that are critical for the low-carbon transition.
