What are the key forces behind the automotive lightweight materials market's growth in recent years
The surge production of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive lightweight materials market over the coming years. Electric vehicles are automobiles that are powered entirely or partially by electricity. Electric vehicles have minimal operating expenses since they have fewer moving parts to maintain, and they are also very eco-friendly because they consume little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel). Lightweight materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic is used in modern electric vehicles, allowing them to run purely on electricity and avoid being classified as hybrids. For instance, in April 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, electric car sales accounted for 14% of all new cars sold globally in 2022, a considerable rise from 9% in 2021. Over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 25% increase from the same period last year. Additionally, it is projected that 14 million electric cars will be sold by the end of 2023, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. Therefore, the increasing production of electric vehicles drives the growth of the automotive lightweight materials market.
