The EV Composites market is estimated at USD 2.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2024 to 2029. Glass fiber composites are increasingly used in electric vehicles (EVs) due to several key factors. They contribute to significant weight reduction, enhancing efficiency and range, while being more cost-effective compared to other composites like carbon fiber. Glass fiber offers high tensile strength and durability, making it suitable for various structural and non-structural parts.
Its excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties help manage heat generated by electric powertrains and ensure safe operation of electrical systems. The design flexibility of glass fiber allows for complex shapes and aerodynamic designs, and its production is often more environmentally friendly with lower energy requirements and recycling potential. Additionally, fiberglass composites help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels, providing a quieter cabin environment, further enhancing the overall driving experience in EVs.
Additionally, RTM allows for high levels of design flexibility and precision, enabling complex shapes and integrated components, which is essential for the innovative designs seen in modern EVs. The process also supports high-volume production, aligning with the scaling needs of the EV market. Moreover, RTM's capability to use various resin systems, including those with high thermal and electrical insulation properties, makes it suitable for manufacturing components that require high performance and safety standards in EVs. Overall, the efficiency, versatility, and sustainability of RTM are key factors driving its growth in the EV composites market.

In terms of value, thermoset resin segment accounted for the largest share of the overall EV Composites market.
In thermoset composites, thermoset resins are used as the matrix with fibers such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, natural fiber, and aramid fiber. Currently, thermoset resins are widely used for manufacturing EV composites as, when cured, they are in the liquid state at room temperature. This unique property of the resin allows for the convenient impregnation of reinforcing fiber. On account of their rigid interlinking molecular structure, inert chemical composition, and resistance to ultraviolet and chemical attack, thermoset composites are very durable. Structures made of thermoset composites are also low on maintenance. The thermoset resin for EV composites is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in EV production.In terms of value, RTM manufacturing process segment accounted for the third largest share of the overall EV Composites market.
In 2023, RTM manufacturing process segment accounted for the third largest share of the EV Composites market, in terms of value. RTM is a cost-effective and efficient method for producing high-quality EV composite parts, which is crucial for the growing demand in the EV industry. The trend towards lightweight vehicles for improved efficiency and range is a significant driver, as RTM produces components that are both strong and lightweight.Additionally, RTM allows for high levels of design flexibility and precision, enabling complex shapes and integrated components, which is essential for the innovative designs seen in modern EVs. The process also supports high-volume production, aligning with the scaling needs of the EV market.
