Electric vehicle (EV) composites are lightweight, high-strength materials; such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, graphene composites, and bio-composites designed to replace heavier metals in EV structures, battery housings, and components. These composites reduce overall vehicle weight by up to 50–60%, extend driving range, improve energy efficiency, and enhance safety.
They matter because global EV adoption is accelerating, and automakers face strict regulations on efficiency and emissions. By incorporating composites, manufacturers achieve lighter, safer, and more sustainable vehicles without compromising strength or durability. This positions composites as a critical enabler of the clean mobility transition.
According to BIS Research, electric vehicle composites market was valued at $2.56 billion in 2024 and expected to reach $13.42 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 17.85%.
Key Drivers:
Lightweighting demand to extend EV battery range and reduce charging frequency
Stricter emissions and fuel efficiency regulations worldwide
Growing R&D investments in graphene composites, continuous fiber composites, and bio-composites
