Australia Automotive Composites Market Trends:

Increasing Need for Light Vehicles

Australian automotive manufacturers are increasingly using composite materials to reduce the weight of vehicles as well as improve fuel economy. Harsh emission norms and the move towards electric vehicles (EVs) have also contributed to this demand. Advanced composites such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) are taking center stage because of their better strength-to-weight ratio. This trend is most evident in hybrid and electric vehicles, where reduced weight directly enhances battery performance and driving range, and composites are a top material selection for contemporary automotive design.

Advancements in Composite Manufacturing Technologies 

Innovations in composite manufacturing processes, including resin transfer molding (RTM) and automated fiber placement (AFP), are enhancing production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These advancements enable large-scale adoption of composites in mainstream vehicles, reducing manufacturing complexities. Australian automotive suppliers are investing in automated and digitalized production lines to cater to growing demand. Additionally, improved recycling techniques are supporting sustainability goals, making composites a more viable alternative to traditional materials while addressing concerns about end-of-life disposal and environmental impact.

Expansion of Electric Vehicle Production

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia is accelerating, with new EV purchases more than doubling in 2023 compared to 2022, bringing the total number of EVs on Australian roads to over 180,000. Moreover, the integration of lightweight composites to optimize battery performance and overall vehicle efficiency is aiding the market demand. Automakers are using carbon fiber and advanced polymer composites to counterbalance the weight of battery packs while maintaining structural integrity. This trend is further supported by government initiatives promoting EV adoption and local manufacturing capabilities. With increased focus on domestic EV production and battery technology advancements, composites are playing a crucial role in developing energy-efficient and high-performance electric mobility solutions.
