The China automotive composites market size is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed rapidly growing automotive industry and increasing demand for light weight vehicles.
A composite is made up of a high-performance fiber and a matrix material that when combined, gives better qualities than the individual components. Translucent concrete, mud bricks, absorbent concrete, wood, fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber, and pykrete are examples of composite materials. Composites in Cars makes vehicles lighter, safer and more fuel-efficient.
China is the world leader in electric car production, which may be ascribed to its well-versed industrial base for making automobiles, as well as simple access to labor and raw materials. In comparison to established markets, the nation offers open foreign direct investment regulations, which has piqued the interest of OEMs of car firms in recent years.
It is the world's largest automobile market in terms of both yearly sales and manufacturing output, with domestic output estimated to exceed 35 million vehicles by 2025. According to Ministry of Industry and Information Technology figures, nearly 25 million automobiles were sold in 2019, with 21.44 million passenger vehicles sold, a 9.6 percent decrease from 2018, and 4.32 million commercial vehicles sold, a 1.1 percent decrease from 2018.
Chinese automakers are not just growing into emerging countries such as Asia, Africa, and South America, where they are already challenging established players in conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) categories such as Japanese and South Korean manufacturers. They have also increased their attempts to expand in developed countries, notably in Europe, with a focus on the fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) category, which is emerging as a crucial strength for Chinese manufacturers.
In China, Phase I and Phase II fuel consumption rules were implemented in 2005, requiring each vehicle model to satisfy particular fuel consumption limits. In 2011, Phase III requirements incorporated corporate average fuel consumption (CAFC) objectives, which added fleet average targets to the existing per-model norms. In 2016, Phase IV went into effect, establishing a new sales fleet average fuel economy target of 5.0 L/100 km for 2020. China now implements Phase V standards, with fleet average aims of 4.0 L/100 km (NEDC) by 2025 and 3.2 L/100 km (NEDC) by 2030.
The Chinese government currently mandates NEV (new energy vehicles/electric) sales to account for 8% of total vehicle sales by 2019, with a goal of selling two million such vehicles per year by 2020 and 20% by 2025.
