Report Description

Latin America Automotive Composite Material was valued at US$ 416.6 Million in 2018 and is anticipated to reach US$ 827.8 Million by 2025 displaying reasonable CAGR of 10.42 over the forecast period (2019-2025). The automotive industry of most of the countries in Latin America witnessed growth in the number of new vehicle registration during the past few years. However, this rise in number of vehicles increased the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions in the environment. In addition to this, the transport industry of Latin America is the primary contributor to the high levels of CO2 emission. Owing to the alarming GHG level in the region, countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile and others have pledged to reduce the GHG levels to a certain level in the coming future. Such initiatives have motivated the auto players in the region to deploy composite materials in their models as composites reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and increase the fuel efficiency. Latin America is one of the major potential business areas by most of the automotive OEMs and composite materials suppliers. Hence these players are expanding their businesses in the region to tap the possible opportunities. Such factors are attributed to expand the automotive composite materials market in the region. However, high costs associated with raw materials, manufacturing process and installation are the major challenges hampering the market growth.

“Polymer Matrix Composite is expected to dominate during the analyzed period.”

The Latin America automotive composites material market is segmented based on different materials such as Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC), Metal Matrix Composite (MMC), Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) and Hybrid Composite. Currently, PMCs are the most popular composite type among the automakers, as they have high flexibility, high insulation, lower density and lighter weight than another composite materials type. In addition, to get a deep dive analysis of PMC, the segment is further segmented by matrix type this includes, thermosets and thermoplastics. However, low cost and exceptional structural and mechanical properties of hybrid composites are making them an alternative to the single fiber composites. Hence hybrid composites are anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period

“Thermoset held the largest market share in 2018 and are expected to dominate the market in 2025.”

The study further bifurcates the PMCs by matrix types, which include thermosets and thermoplastics. wherein thermoset held the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to dominate the market by 2025. However, thermoplastic is expected to register highest growth during the forecast period as they are compact and wireless

“Amongst Manufacturing Process, Injection moulding is projected to hold the largest market share and will dominate the Latin America automotive composite material market by 2025.”

Latin America automotive composite market is further fragmented across different manufacturing processes. This includes hand lay-up, compression moulding, injection moulding, and resin transfer moulding (RTM). Injection moulding process dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period (2018-2025), owing to the RTM’s capability of low cost and high-volume manufacturing

“Amongst applications, exterior segment is anticipated to dominate Latin America automotive composite material market by 2025.”

Based on application areas in automobiles, Latin America automotive composite materials market is segmented into interior, exterior, chassis, powertrain & under the hood and structural. As Latin America’s automotive industry is highly influenced by North America, the stringent regulations on vehicle interior air quality in North America are expected to fuel the demand of composite demand for vehicle interiors in Latin America as well. Owing to which Latin America interior application market is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period

Latin America Automotive Composite Market Size by Application, 2018-25 (US$ Mn)

“Amongst vehicle type, passenger cars hold the major share in Latin America automotive composite material market.”
