Based on application types, the UAE automotive composites market is divided into powertrain component, exterior, structural assembly, interior, and others. The exterior segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to major components of car body including fender, door panels, bumper beam, front end module, and hood are made of composite materials. The use of composite materials ensures long lifecycle, durability, and lowers maintenance cost. However, the interior segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to rising need for lightweight interior components.
On the basis of production process types, the market is segmented into compression molding, injection molding, hand layup, and continuous process. The injection molding segment is expected to represent a key share of the market in the coming years due to increasing adoption in automotive industry and high operating temperatures. On the other hand, the compression molding segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to simpler process and lower tooling costs.
In terms of materials, the UAE automotive composites market is segregated into thermoplastic polymer, glass fiber, thermoset polymer, and carbon fiber. The glass fiber segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to its superior attributes including flexibility, lightweight, strength, stability, and durability. Glass fiber also helps in resistance of temperature, heat, and moisture. Glass fiber composites are composed of high number of tiny glass fibers that are combined together and held strongly in place of plastic polymer resin.
