Automotive Carbon Wheels Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Automotive Carbon Wheels Market is expected to reach USD 1555.83 million by 2031 with CAGR of 9.7 % between 2025 and 2031

Carbon Automotive Carbon Wheels implemented in vehicle can save up to 20% of weight against other vehicles using aluminum wheels. These wheel features an Araldite structural system CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer) rim around an aluminum alloy center star. Developed using high-pressure resin transfer molding process in its manufacture, it delivers the necessary thermal and mechanical performance. Carbon wheels deliver weight reduction, releasing extra power to vehicle, energy savings and increased comfort through vibrations damping.  

The notable advantages of the carbon wheel also includes less rotating mass and less unsprung mass the benefits include a reduction in fuel consumption, less road noise and decreased stopping distances, as well as providing increased acceleration, improved mechanical grip, plus enhanced steering and handling. Lightweighting trend in the automotive industry is pushing OEM`s and Tiers to become more creative in terms of materials and improvisation in performance.  

In recent future many OEM`s and Tiers manufacturer are now looking into cost competitive mass production of carbon wheels; hence the formerly custom made and very expensive wheel that was primarily purchased by car and motor sport fanatics will be available for a much broader market in the upcoming years. In driving force scenario of Low weight, superior aerodynamics and stiffness to weight ratio, hence lower fuel consumptions, are paramount aspects for performances, as well as when the weight reduction of the car is one of the key factor to comply with country regulations on CO2 emissions.  

Steel and aluminum alloys have long been the predominant materials used for the manufacture of car wheels. However, these materials have significant limitations compared to composites:

• prone to corrosion
• heavier
• Cannot be further optimized to reduce weight without sacrificing safety.

On other side with an unmatched strength and stiffness to weight ratio, these carbon fiber composite wheels are structurally optimized for the required loading while minimizing weight. Reducing the weight of vehicle wheels yields better handling, a quieter and smoother ride, faster acceleration, quicker deceleration, and improved fuel efficiency. The Next Generation Autoclave Process (NGAP) technology leverages the advantages of autoclave manufacturing with a mass production approach to deliver high quality carbon fiber composites at a price point that is not currently possible with any other production method.  

Carbon wheels uses resin that has been chosen as the matrix material because of its very good processing characteristics (low viscosity, easy carbon fiber impregnation, high production speed) and high mechanical properties at the elevated temperatures typical for this application. The resins can be easily adjusted for complex-shaped part designs and a specific process set up.
